4.0 out of 5 stars Filled with imagination, fun and a moral to every story, January 19, 2002

This review is from: Dragon Tales - Don't Give Up (DVD)

Dragon Tales is a cartoon PBS series produced by the makers of Sesame Street. It focuses on two kids named Max and Emmy who find a magic dragon scale that allows them to visit Dragonland.
In Dragonland they play with their friends, Cassie, Ord, Zak and Wheezie, and Quetzal. Each tale focuses on a different topic such a sharing, problem solving, listening, dealing with bullys, etc. When one of the dragon does something hard or really special, their dragon badge glows.

My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves this cartoon, and I must admit that I do too! We own all three Dragon Tale DVD's. This DVD has a better format than the "let's share, let's play" DVD. With this DVD, you can choose to play all episodes, choose your own episode, or play the sing alongs. Each of the five episodes included here play one right after the other. I gave it four stars instead of five for that reason. It would have been nice if they had a sing along after each episode so the flow matches that of the TV series.

There is so many imaginative things here that it will be sure to capture any child's attention. Bottom line: You can't go wrong with this one for a boy or a girl!

This review is from: Dragon Tales - Don't Give Up (DVD)

These Dragon Tales are not nearly as good as the newer kids' videos like Dora, Diego and Backyardigans. They have good messages but I found the voices a bit irritating. The Spanish soundtrack has some translation errors--not that it isn't correct Spanish but that I think the original meaning of some phrases was misunderstood. It wasn't as good as I had hoped.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great kids' show with positive messages, May 20, 2009

This review is from: Dragon Tales - Don't Give Up (DVD)

My four-year-old has loved Dragon Tales since she was 3, and loves watching them over and over. She loves imaginative play such as make-believe, and watching 6-year-old Emmy and her 4-year-old brother Max go off into Dragon Land makes her wish she could do so too!

In "Dragon Tales - Don't Give Up", there are 5 episodes, "Pigment of Your Imagination", "Backwards to Forwards", "Tails You Lose", "Sand Castle Hassle", and "Bully for You". The episodes are linked by 4 songs "Stretch", "Pretend", "Touch", and "Silly Song". The theme of these stories is about persevering and not giving up no matter what the obstacle. The audio comes in English and Spanish and the subtitle options are English, French and Spanish.

I highly recommend Dragon Tales for toddlers- preschoolers.
