3.0 out of 5 stars Annoying for adults, but my daughter LOVES this DVD, April 15, 2009

This review is from: Gigi, God's Little Princess: Gigi's Hugest Announcement (DVD)

I had a hard time knowing how to rate this. My daughter (2.5 years) loves this DVD and requests to watch it over and over again. My husband and I, on the other hand, have a love-hate relationship with Princess Gigi. The animation and voices are not the best, and they are actually quite annoying in some places. I've come close to sending Gigi off to live at a different house just so I won't have to put up with her anymore! Looking strictly at the production and quality of the DVD, I would give it two stars.

However... I do love the underlying message, which has been communicated quite effectively to my daughter. Without any prompting or encouragement from us, it's been ingrained in her that she is God's little princess, just like Gigi. Looking strictly at the content and message, I would give this four stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gigi's Hugest Announcement - a review for Thomas Nelson Publishers, May 24, 2010

This review is from: Gigi, God's Little Princess: Gigi's Hugest Announcement (DVD)

When we were sent Gigi's Hugest Announcement to review for Thomas Nelson Publishers I was ecstatic. Okay, that *might* just be an overstatement, but I was very excited.

You see, here was an opportunity to preview a children's DVD that was a good match for our religious beliefs and personal values.

As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I believe that all people are children of our Father in Heaven and want to help my children understand their very special heritage as children of God.

In this DVD that message is reinforced in a fun and entertaining way.

The two stories included in Gigi's Hugest Announcement are The Royal Tea Party and The Pink Ballerina.

In The Royal Tea Party our main character, Gigi, wants to share with her best friend, Frances, the news that Frances is also a royal princess. Gigi feels an urgency to share with Frances the message that she is also a child of God. We watch as Gigi brainstorms different ways to tell Frances this important news. Gigi finally settles upon the right method to share this extremely important news with Frances and that method is a royal tea party.

In The Pink Ballerina we follow Gigi from a Sunday morning after Sunday School and throughout the day as she ponders and thinks about her weekly memory verse. She only has half of the verse, though, and misinterprets Psalm 149:3. She focuses only on the dance and doesn't yet know about the music in the latter half of the verse. Gigi is eager to praise the Lord through dance, but learns that dance isn't her strongest talent. In the end she learns that we all have differing talents and can praise the Lord in our own unique ways.

The DVD is based upon stories by Sheila Walsh and the producers use a style of animation that reminds me of book illustrations. The scenes move more slowly than some other animation styles and I prefer that. There isn't the bright flash and movement of some animation styles that can overwhelm and overstimulate our children.

This a DVD that I can highly recommend for all families!

This review is from: Gigi, God's Little Princess: Gigi's Hugest Announcement (DVD)

Gigi is a little girl who thinks she is a princess. I like that rather than being any old princess, she chooses to be God's princess. Her messages are simple but positive. We all belong to God. We each have our own special talents.

This video was cute. I think it is just O.K., but my 2 year old daughter loves Gigi and asks to see this video almost every day. Even my sons enjoy it, though they will never admit that! I'm glad there are videos like this for my children to watch. I will by another Gigi video for my daughter if she ever requests it. I think girls can use all the positive messages they can get.
