Editorial Reviews

As seen on the Ellen Show. Now you can have an instant Fireplace that lasts forever. Or a goldfish that never stops swimming. Fun View TV is a collection of themed video scenes for your television. Just insert the Fun View TV DVD into a DVD player, and you're ready to go. There are 20 fun scenes, each with their own soundtrack. All of the scenes are divided into three categories; Seasonal, Novelty and Party. The Novelty Views are real never-ending scenes of a roaring fireplace, a fish that never stops swimming around, a groovy 70s lava lamp, a laundry dryer that continuously tumbles clothes and a pizza revolving in a microwave oven. The Seasonal views are intended to create a seasonal mood. These include: beach scene, winter snow view, scary Halloween pumpkin, Valentine hearts, 4th of July Fireworks, Spring field, and autumn leaves The Party View category is filled with exciting party lights especially designed for parties. There is even a New Year's Eve Countdown for your own New Year's Party. Special Features: Fun View TV scenes are designed to loop forever. So when you choose a particular scene, it will play as long as you like. When you want to exit a scene, just press the menu button and you can choose something else. Suggested Audience: Appropriate for all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this DVD!, July 13, 2006

I got this dvd because I was looking for a fireplace dvd just to put on in the evenings to relax to. Out of all the ones I looked at this one looked best so I ordered it. I got a fireplace and so much more. My kids love all of the scenes and they are just mesmerized by them. I just pick one and turn it on and they just sit and listen or watch. It is a way to have the tv on without having to watch most of the junk that is on tv nowdays.

3.0 out of 5 stars More variety than VJ World "Fireplaces Fishtank & Lava" but lower quality, October 11, 2007

This review is from: Fun View TV - Volume 1: Fireplace, Fish, Snow & More (DVD)

"Fun View" is a DVD containing numerous short videos. The most realistic is a closeup of a blazing fireplace. It is about 2 1/2 minutes long before it loops, and has pretty good video and sound quality. There is a video of a goldfish against a white background with goofy "bloop bloop" sound effects for the audio tracks. There are a couple of oddballs, such as the video of the running microwave oven. The rest are all partially or completely computer generated, and some (such as the zooming starfield) are literally computer screensavers caught on video. They're all well done, but do look a little fake, especially on a large HDTV.

In contrast, the VJWorld "Fireplaces Fishtank & Lava" (FF&L) containing 5 short videos, each about 30 minutes long. They are closeups of a two fireplaces (classic and modern), a campfire, a saltwater aquarium, and a lava lamp. The fire and fishtank videos are excellent, in sharp focus and with good, realistic sound quality. There are many active fish in the aquarium, plus some coral and a shrimp. While the DVD is standard def (480i), everything looks pretty good on an HDTV with a quality upconverter in the TV or DVD player.

The "Fun View" and "FF&L" fireplaces are similar, and perhaps a little better on "FF&L", and the "FF&L" fireplaces are much longer before they loop. The "FF&L" aquarium is much better than the "Fun View" goldfish. Both discs have a lava lamp. (I'd have preferred a freshwater aquarium.) "FF&L" is a clear winner over "Fun View" in the "fireplaces and fish" department.

However, "Fun View" does have seasonal videos, such as a jack-o-lantern with lightning in the background and a New Year's Eve-style countdown clock. They might be useful to play as a sort of animated decoration for a party. For variety at the expense of quality, "Fun View" is a reasonable choice.

Since neither is terribly expensive, a third option is to simply get both.

The firepalce video is the best that I've seen yet, it has a great "warmy quality" with lots of natural sounds. But The DVD also has a lot of other very cool scenes that are nice to play at parties and holidays.. keeps the kids occupied during family events.. thank god..
