I bought the CD for when my fiancee and our daughter go up to visit her parents on weekends in New York (6-7 hour drive). She enjoys the music and falls asleep but after time gets bored. So before going up with them on a week I had vacation I bought the DVD and took a laptop with me. Played it in a continuous loop for 4 of those 6 hours and it kept her entertained.

Also having the same video in many languages (in reality you pay for like 4 different songs/videos) it helps stimulate the mind and learn a language. If she hears the English version too much she screams until we put another language on.

This is a great video to get the kids up dancing and moving. Get out your video cameras because as they try to dance like the bears in the video, it is hilarious!

We happened across this originally on Youtube and my son loves it. It gets annoying when playing for too long, but my kids find it so funny (1 and 2 years).

When I heard "The Gummy Bear Song" the first time, I assumed it was a commercial for candy. Our little convenience store sells German gummy bears. This evening, they had run out of them, so I had to rest contended with jelly nukis instead! (I'm consuming those as we speak.)

Then I saw the "Choco" clip on Youtube and was confused. Why was the gummy bear doing a commercial for cocoa? Was I missing out on something here?

It's a German novelty song, stupid!

Gummibär is a disco artist of that unimitable kind only spawned in Sweden and Germany. His "songs" became instant hits on Youtube, and has given rise to a little cottage industry. Of course, the songs are both silly and annoying, except for kids, who will drive you mad playing them all night long. Here's a tip if they annoy you too much: bribe them with a jelly nuki!

Essentially, Gummibär only made three songs: "I'm a Gummy Bear", "Choco choco choco" and "Nuki". However, our ingenious little friend recorded "I'm a Gummy Bear" in several different languages, including Slovak, Hungarian and (of course) Swedish. The Swedish lyrics are (almost) grammatically correct, but the bear seems to be singing them with a slight German accent! :D

Nobody will remember Gummibär ten years into the future, but as a funny diversion at your local day care center (or convenience store), it might as well work...

My one year old nephew loves the gummy bear and nuki song & videos. He first saw the videos on youtube and is always wanting to watch them so I figure why not get the dvd. He will be SO excited when he opens them up for Christmas:-)

Wish there were more than just 4 main songs even though the main Gummy Bear song is on there in several languages.

This was one song in about fourteen different languages, it should only be the price of a single then. I feel ripped off! They really got me cause I bought two of them. I saw it on utube and without checking I assumed that it was an album of songs.

I liked the animation and sound!
But I didn't check that they had same song in different languages.
My kids are 9 months, so it didn't matter language, their feeling is that the are listening to the same music over and over.
If I judge the tract itself, it's a 5/5.
But the DVD, it's 3/5.

While there are really only three different songs on the entire video, the Gummy Bear song is recorded in a number of different languages. The song is fun and infectious. My granddaughter just loves it and I have to admit, I do, too. I love to pick her up and dance with her to the music. You can only take so much of the video, but it sure is fun while it lasts. For those who complain about the cost of a dvd with a limited selection of music, I say if it makes the kiddo happy, it makes me happy, and is money well spent.

I ordered this movie for my 6 month old doughter after haveing her watch it on u-tub over my I phone. I can't under stand half of what the bear is singing even in English but my baby girl loves it. This DVD save my hearing for long drives. This DVD may only have four different song but it's in several different languages so the sound changes to help keep you sane.
