If you loved Best Busypeople, Best Learning Songs, Best Counting, Best ABC, & Best Mother Goose, you will hate this as much as I my son and I did. Terrible sound quality, a story that takes place 1,000 years ago in Bohemia with accents so thick you cannot understand what the characters are saying. The other two stories are strange; one is about the "reality" of the Easter Bunny (those that would enjoy this would not even entertain the thought) and the final story finds Huckle taking care of a family of lost baby birds. He sneaks them into his room and lies to his parents when they walk in after hearing the birds! Each story is broken up by what are called "music interstitials" aka music videos featuring Huckle and the gang either rapping or rocking out to heavy metal. It is truly unbelievable - and sickening - to watch. This, along with the other Cinar/ Polygram Videos (which I think were produced after Richard Scarry's death in 1994)are not worth the bother, and are more than disappointing.

I think this is a cute movie, but it could of been better.
In that bird cartoon, the baby birds are hungry, and one of them chases Lowly the Worm around, until Huckie the Cat gives them each some spaghetti noodles. If that scene was edited out, I would of given it a five!

Our family loves this whole series. Though there are some continuity problems, little kids don't notice this part. Both my 5 year old and toddler love Huckle and his friends and ask to watch the shows over and over. This story with the history of a tradition, we felt was not only fun but educational. The animation is also top-notch, as are most of the programs from CINAR.
