My son and I have been awaiting this DVD release since we saw the previews on a Thomas DVD a couple of years ago. Everytime we watched the Thomas DVD (which is aLOT) he'd ask for it and I have been looking for it and finally it was released! He loves it and I think Frances is so cute, she is always getting herself into predicaments but learns a lesson in the end. Frances is very funny and mischievous and has quite the imagination. Oh and her little sister Gloria is adorable.

Frances books were some of my favorites as a young child. I am excited that my children can enjoy the books and this adorable DVD. Everyone in the family enjoys watching it. My sixteen-month-old daughter asks for it by saying, "Badger! Badger!" and pointing at the TV. Even my oldest child, who is nearly seven, finds the DVD fun and amusing. He actually laughs out loud at it. It's rare to find something so well enjoyed by a variety of ages, with no objectionable language for the youngest ones. I never imagined that it would be such a hit with my family!

This product was great, and it really helped, because I couldn't find any Frances DVDs anywhere. My nephew can't go to sleep without it. Thank you.

It's apparent that the writers of this show had kids. Frances has the wandering mind of the average imaginative child and it makes me giggle cause she is just like my daughter.

My little girl used to to watch it everyday since I bought this book with the DVD. She was about 19 months at that time. She is now 3 and seems not interested anymore.

these don't beat the books-the subtle drawings are so perfect as the are-but my 5yo daughter and i very much enjoy the show and hope more will come out on dvd.

Frances: Bedtime for Frances is a book and DVD combination that, for the first time ever, presents a computer animated version of the classic, award-winning children's storybook "Bedtime for Frances". Using the special, proprietary technology of the Henson Digital Puppetry Studio to enable puppeteering of digitally animated characters, Bedtime for Frances presents lovable badger characters in three simple adventures sure to delight preschoolers. Bonus features include an interactive read-along of "Bedtime for Frances", a Frances' Friends and Family character gallery, and a bonus episode "Fifi and the Flowertots - 'Hole Lot of Fun'". An excellent gift for parents and little ones to share.

We've been watching this video on our instant stream via Netflix. My 3 and 4 year olds LOVE it, and we, the parents have enjoyed it, too. I loved these books as a child and although it took a little time to adjust to the 3-D version of Frances, which is rather slick, I got past it because the stories were so well done. They are true to the books, but in some ways better, because we get to hear the tunes that Frances sings her songs to. They teach great lessons, to the point that we have referred to them in our regular lives. Recently, an outing was canceled because one child was sick. Both kids were devastated. I reminded them that this was just what had happened in Frances, and both kids got it. Also, since watching these, my 4-yr old now says stuff like, "I need some alone time," and she also now makes up her own songs about the injustice of the world, just like Frances. I love these videos. I wish there were more. I would buy them in a heartbeat.

My two year old loves this show and I love watching it with her. The stories are simple and easy to follow and they teach a lesson. The voices are so cute and the whole show is done really well, I just wish they would come out with another new one.

My 1 1/2 year old nephew loves this DVD. Frances was on demand and then it was gone and he was asking for Frances constantly. I ordered this and it arrived in 2 days. He watches it everyday. The book and the video don't look alike which is confusing for him but he is enjoying the book too.
