'GUSTAFER YELLOWGOLD'S WIDE WILD WORLD,' with "rollicking" music and illustrations by Morgan Taylor.

Product Description

GUSTAFER YELLOWGOLD’S WIDE WILD WORLD was launched from the imagination of illustrator/singer/songwriter, Morgan Taylor. Gustafer is a gold, part feline alien who comes from the sun, blessed with a magnetism for making friends with some of earth’s odder creatures - the Eel, the Blue Star, the Pterodactyl, the Dragon and more. Taylor’s music and art talents combined create a wonderful blend of media comparable to mixing Paul McCartney’s more whimsical work with the imaginative fantasy of kid’s book classic, Harold and the Purple Crayon. This DVD is formatted for ALL REGIONS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great music and fun for kids AND their parents!!!Highly Recommended!, October 7, 2005

This review is from: Gustafer Yellowgold's Wide Wild World (2005 pressing) (DVD)

Hi Fellow -PARENTS, anyone been driven nuts by " Fruit -salad, yummi yummi - and other infantile Wiggles -hits? Here's some GREAT music with animations that your kid will love, while you actually find yourself longing to hear the music over and over again! I caught this show LIVE in NYC , but the DVD is just as excellent.When I came the first time, I sort of went along reluctantly- I had a splitting head-ache and some friends said: we're going to this show about some space-guy, a little alien , for kids, his name is Gustafer Yellowgold. Now I am not crazy in general about Sci -Fi, but went along anyway, just to do something fun for my daughter.

From the opening chorus of "I'm from the Sun", the biggest smile just got glued on to my face (and the music wiped out my headache pretty much instantly.) The music is just so beautiful and I was genuinly touched by the fantasies, Gustafer is tapping into our innerchild, the fantasies are so recognisable and they transport you back to a certain time where innocence and fantasy ruled. Although there where kids ranging from ages 2 to 12 , the lyrics are catchy yet sophisticated, with plenty of double entendres. My 4 year old LOVES IT, and so do I , and I recently bought it as a B'day present for a 35 year old friend who loves it too- go figure! Whatever it is, GUSTAFER is doing something magical to kids as well as the bigger kids ( us parents!) .It is truly original and beautiful, thanks for the songs and for bringing us into Gustafer Yellowgold's world- looking forward to more of his adventures!The only one "complaint" I have: I wish they would also release a CD of the music, not just a DVD so we can play it in the car too!

This review is from: Gustafer Yellowgold's Wide Wild World (DVD)

This is smart and tuneful pop that kids and adults can enjoy. A nice addition to the current trend of making music that kids like yet doesn't drive parents batty after repeated plays. Morgan Taylor has written some amazingly catchy, fun and touching songs that can entertain music fans of any age.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gustafer Rocks!, September 7, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Gustafer Yellowgold's Wide Wild World (2005 pressing) (DVD)

I saw Gustafer's show in the theater. It was fun to sing along with the band and watch the funny stories. I like the DVD movie mostly because it has all the friends and characters that rock along in the story. I love Gustafer's friend, the e-e-e-e-e-e, e-e-e-e-e-e, e-e-e-e-e-e, eel! Yea! your friend, Mike
