This review is from: Francesco's Friendly World:Gifts of C [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It's not always easy to show little ones that gifts aren't always shiny and beautiful, wrapped up in fancy paper and tied with ribbon, but this video shows how it can be very satisfying to give nontraditional gifts. I used it for an elementary Sunday School class and it was very effective. Wish it were available on DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars love the story!, December 31, 2011

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Francesco's Friendly World:Gifts of C [VHS] (VHS Tape)

it's a nice story, but i would like to see it on dvd. ever since we had to get cable instead of analog we couldn't watch vhs.

it's a cute story about the true meaning of christmas: giving gifts stronger than the kind wrapped up in nice little bows.

This review is from: Francesco's Friendly World:Gifts of C [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I bought this movie for my kids and it moved me to tears when Francesco sang 'Silent Night'. I don't cry so easily, especially while watching cartoons! I won't spoil it for you. Watch it yourself to see why. I don't mind the talking animals at all. The kids get a kick out of the animals and their funny voices. We watch this movie every year, among only a handful of others, because it is one of few that remind us of the true meaning of Christmas: Christ's birth. It also reminds us that 'it's better to give than to receive.' Two solidly Christian messages. I, like the other reviewers, wish it was on DVD. I also wish there was a Francesco movie that explains what Halloween is really about.
