Editorial Review

Parents who grew up on this sugary sweet game will notice that this DVD version diverges completely from the original, introducing a new cast of characters and a different set of rules. The candy-laden game board with the rainbow-colored path is replaced by a stack of 24 8-inch-square play mats in rainbow hues, some bearing pictures of candy and Candy Land characters. Characters appear on the included DVD in animation, where they guide kids through the three different games, providing instructions and game play challenges in either English or Spanish.

King Kandy, the ruler of all of Candy Land, requires kids to step on the correctly colored play mat as he shouts out color names in his Gumball Challenge. Mister Mint, a goofy peppermint stick man, tries to bolster kids’ listening skills with his Mister Mint Says game, a close rendition of Simon Says. And, the pleasingly plump Gramma Nutt uses the play mats for her Musical Moves game where, in a variation of Musical Chairs, children must locate a mat once the music stops playing. Kids are rewarded with gingerbread cookie tokens for a job well done. In addition to the games, the DVD also features three animated songs from the movie Candy Land: The Great Lollipop Adventure. --Cristina Vaamonde

I bought this for my 3.5 yr old. She loves it! The game mats are durable, and the dvd is cute. Teaches good listening skills, following directions, and just playing for fun. All I had to do was sit on the couch and hit the remote button as needed, after getting the mats layed out. Works well even if your child is playing alone. I think this game will be a huge hit for the holidays, I am glad I didn't wait til christmas to give it to her.

The DVD version of Candyland is significantly more expensive than the traditional board game, and it is not worth the money. While my children (5 and 3 1/2) do enjoying playing the game they are frustrated that the games are the same everytime. There are three games to play on the dvd, but they are not random in nature. The "gumballs", moves, and character narrative are identical every time you play. After only two days of play my children could tell you what was coming next in each game. I purchased this game because my son has difficulty sitting still for a board game, but loves games requiring physical interaction. I wanted a game that would utilize directions for him to follow and this game does do that, however I could have gotten the same result by playing "simon says" with him myself and saved the $30.

My kids really enjoy playing the Candy Land DVD game. There are 3 different games to play and you can play for fun or play to win on each game. With kids running and bouncing around, I really like the fact that the mats pretty much stay put on the carpet. Unlike other games, the kids are not slipping and sliding or falling down on the mats. I believe this game is rated for ages 4 and up, but I think that most 2 and 3 year old kids could play most of the games if not all of the games. My son is 2 and he can play all of the games (we have to help him a bit of the 'Mister Mint says' game though).
