''Gustafer Yellowgold's Mellow Fever'' is the third in the award-winning series of DVD/CD sets released by Apple-Eye
Productions. ''Gustafer Yellowgold's Have You Never Been Yellow'' and ''Gustafer Yellowgold's Wide Wild World'' were released in 2007. Groovy Gustafer Yellowgold has come to Earth in his Sunpod and landed in Minnesota. He is living out his dream of a cooler existence while making new and interesting friends along the way. Along with a richer look into Gustafer's former Sun-years, we learn of Slim the eel's old watery neighborhood within the rolling and climbing acoustic guitars of ''Underwater Stars'' and lament the loss of some excellent bell-bottoms with Forrest Applecrumbie, the pterodactyl in the thump and jump of ''Panther Stamps Pants.'' The gang watches as Gustafer learns to put his warm mitts to good use in the acoustic Charleston of ''Melter Swelter.'' We meet his biggest fan Wincey the ferret between the fanfaring french horns of ''Sugar Boat,'' and tour the world with Sisson the blue worm through the Harry Nilsson-esque romp of ''Quite Easily Lost.'' ''Gustafer Yellowgold's Mellow Fever'' has guest-star performances by WILCO's John Stirratt and Pat Sansone, as well as Lisa Loeb. Each song is accompanied by a series of hand-drawn, minimally animated illustrations set to melodic and catchy tunes ranging from mellow acoustic to crackling-pop.
Since his creation in 2005, Gustafer Yellowgold has become an international phenomenon, acclaimed by the New York Times, which describes it as, ''A cross between Yellow Submarine and Dr. Seuss.'' Entertainment Weekly
praised ''...The most infectious original songs. It s like tapping into some pleasure center in the brain- both adult
and kid...absurdly appealing. Grade: A.'' New York Magazine named Morgan Taylor ''Best Kids Performer'' in its 2008
''Best of New York'' issue.

I saw them perform this album live. My 3-year old loved it. My 9 year old son, thought it was "OK".
The DVD is lovely and has great pacing for the pre-K and K kids. I really like the alt/soft-rock style, but even if you don't, it won't grate on your ears like almost all kids music does.
And as a small bonus, you don't have to worry about having to buy cereals, snacks, toys, and backpacks with these characters on them the next time you're at target.

Combines simple visuals with original music that will entertain and occasionally enchant you children ages 3 and up

Seeking a cooler climate, Gustafer Yellowgold is a little, yellow colored, cone-headed being that comes to Earth from his home on the Sun and has a knack for making friends with such diverse folks as Forrest Applecrumbie (a smartly dressed pterodactyl) with whom he builds a home in the Michigan woods. Gustafer also has a pet eel named Slim and a dragon named Adsparagus, and a great many other critters of unusual distinction. "Gustafer Yellowgold's Mellow Fever" (featuring the music and storytelling of Morgan Taylor, the creator of Gustafer Yellowgold and is a veteran entertainer, song writer, and do-it-yourself illustrator) combines simple visuals with original music that will entertain and occasionally enchant you children ages 3 and up. The story-telling tunes comprising "Gustafer Yellowgold's Mellow Fever" include Getting in a Treetop; Sunpod; Melter Swelter; Butter Pond Lake; Sugar Boat; Panther Stamps Pants; Underwater Stars; Quite Easily Lost; An Erring Ant; Green Heart; and Constellation Pies. Original, entertaining from beginning to end, "Gustafer Yellowgold's Mellow Fever" is a superbly produced and technically flawless production making it enthusiastically recommended for family, preschool, elementary school, and community library DVD collections for children.

Took time to grow on me, but now I love it
I admit, I bought this for two reasons: 1) the cover - I liked it. 2) because Gustafer lives in Minnesota, where my partner grew up and her family is from. Read more
