Editorial Reviews

Created by Emmy Award winner Mitchell Kriegman, It’s a Big Big World uses engaging characters, music and humor to introduce preschoolers to science and geography. It’s a Big Big World is produced with a technique, developed by Kriegman, called "Shadowmation" which combines computer generated sets and an ancient form of Japanese puppetry called "bun raku" to produce a unique look. The Sky Above, answers such common children’s questions as "Where do rainbows come from?" and "What is the moon made of?"

5.0 out of 5 stars It's A Great Great Show!!!!, March 29, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: It's a Big, Big, World - The Sky Above (DVD)

I absolutely love this show. As soon as I heard the theme song I fell in love and just had to watch it as often as possible. The characters are hilarious, adorable and very fun to watch. The music is awesome, especially the theme song and "get up and go." I've never heard such wonderful get up and go music in a kids' show. I think it's the best part of the show. Once I get one of those songs in my head I can't get it out and I end up singing it all day. And I love it. The DVDs are really worth buying. I'm glad I bought them. I tried taping the show, but the picture isn't as great as the DVD. No matter what mood I'm in, when I come home and watch the DVD I feel so happy and energized that I just can't keep smiling and want to run outside and do something adventurous. This has to be one of the best kids' shows if not one of the best TV shows in general I've seen in a long time.

This review is from: It's a Big, Big, World - The Sky Above (DVD)

My daughter is 11 months old and has LOVED It's a big big world since she was just a few months old. We own evey dvd. The things I love about the dvd are: It starts playing on its own so all you have to do is put it in the dvd player, the dvd has several episodes each with at least two songs each, there is a play songs only option in the menu, after the dvd is finished playing it starts again without prompting, it teaches children about nature. There is nothing bad I would say about this dvd except I know just about every word by memory now.
