Editorial Reviews

Most of us have ridden in a big yellow school bus at one time or another. Some of you may ride one to school every day. But have you ever wondered where that school bus came from or how it was made? Learn all about it in a visit to the amazing IC School Bus factory where most of the school Buses in North America come from. This fascinating plant in Tulsa Oklahoma has an assembly line that is more than a mile long under one roof! See first hand the process of building one of the safest vehicles on the road. Look at each stage of assembly from nuts & bolts, blinking stop lights,safety seats, and bright yellow paint to a finished school bus rolling out the door. We know you have seen school buses every day, but you have never seen them up close from the inside out like this. So take a seat for a fun filled field trip to the school bus factory.....!

5.0 out of 5 stars Educational and keeps your interest!!, April 1, 2009

This review is from: How'd They Build That? School Bus (DVD)

This is a very well made video, and it shows you the process from start to finish of IC's School Buses. I'd recommend it to anyone who has an interest in school transportation, people in school transportation, and all kids that are curious about how a school bus is made. It's filled with fun facts about school buses; like school buses are made in 36 different lengths (as seen in the video preview on amazon.com). There's also a history with the building they build their buses in; you'll find out when you watch this video. You can't go wrong with this plus it's under $10!!

This review is from: How'd They Build That? School Bus (DVD)

Shot in high definition and suitable for viewers of all ages, How'd They Build That? School Bus is a DVD that takes the viewer on tour to the IC School Bus Factory in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where most of the school buses in North America are created! Covering each stage of assembly from the nuts and bolts to the final coat of yellow paint, How'd They Build That? School Bus blends live-action, three-dimensional computer animation, and on-screen "fun facts" of fascinating trivia as well as simple explanations of technical terminology. An inexpensive, educational, and entertaining addition to both grade school and public library children's DVD collections. 58 minutes, color. Also highly recommended is "How'd They Build That? Concrete Truck".

5.0 out of 5 stars 3 Year Old's Fascination!, June 26, 2009

This review is from: How'd They Build That? School Bus (DVD)

The School Bus video by Marvelous Media is simply fabulous. My 3 year old confiscated his cousin's copy during a visit. He would much rather watch a "How'd They Build That" video than cartoons any day. It even keeps the adults interested with the Fun Facts and process explanation. We love the video format, explanation and background. The IC plant and detail keep him interested as he awaits his turn to ride the big school bus. Great length, detail and previews of others available. We look forward to seeing more and highly recommend the product.
