This DVD originally came out as two separate VHS tapes and it was a terrific idea to combine them for a value-packed One hour DVD release.

The Little People are a lovable claymation characters and in the Discovering Music portion, Michael, Sonya-Lee, Maggie, Sara-Lynn and Eddie introduce creative ways to listen, sing, and play music in their episodic adventures. Like in most Little People releases, one or two catchy songs are sung. And get this, Aaron Neville beautiful voice introduces each adventure with a Little People theme song verse!

A MUST HAVE in your Little person's DVD library, I'm happy with the fact that claymation is still alive and well...and although each of the 10 adventures runs no more than 5 or 6 minutes, they tend to be well-written and linked to one another.

My daughter received her first Little People set as a gift for Christmas, she was just 6 months old and the box said 1 year +, so I put the set away for later. I kept the video that came with the box though and dropped it in for her and I to watch. She LOVED IT! Ever since that day, she has been hooked on the Little People videos! Even as a 6 1/2 Month old, she became excited when she saw the red Little People logo and heard Aaron Neville singing. :)

Excellent video, the teachings are so nice - most videos, I sit there and cringe, thinking to myself, 'Yeah, uh.. I don't want my child acting like that!' But this one has wonderful teachings, great animation - the colors, music and voices grab little one's attention and my daughter will sit and watch it quietly the whole way through! Even my husband (Sales & Marketing) and I (Art Teacher) love viewing the movies with her and it's been 7 months of daily use. These are the only characters my daughter is willing to watch - she has no time for Blues Clues, Dora the Explorer or any of the other currently popular baby type videos.

Buy this! You won't be sorry!

I bought another "Little People" video cassette tape at a garage sale for my 2 year old grandaughter. She LOVED it! Up until that time, she was not interested in anything on TV. For her birthday, I then bought her two more "Little People" DVD's. Her parents say that I "created a monster." She goes around the house whining saying, "People, People." She wants in on ALL the time. I have watched it with her, and find it charming and educational. My grandaughter is learning the names of the characters, as well as the song. She goes around the house singing the song all day long also. I think all the "Little People" "stuff" is driving my son and his wife crazy, but their daughter absolutely LOVES it!

As others have posted here on the content and themes of the Little People video, I won't repeat what they have said. My 3yo loves them, and my 8 month old looks at the telly when they are on.
I was disappointed they really did nothing more than place 2 episodes from the vhs onto a disk. Neither episode auto-starts when the disk is placed into a player. There is no option to play all of the adventures on the disk with one select. You can play the 5 from one episode, then have to go back to the main menu, and select the other episode to play the 5 adventures there. A minor gripe I know, but one that even the most basic dvd authoring software would have let them fix prior to production.

I purchased this DVD before a long vacation, and it was an immediate hit with my almost two-year-old. If you are considering buying any of the Little People movies, this collection would be the one I recommend most highly. It seems to be a favorite for my daughter and myself. Also she has taken several of the ideas in the movies and incorporated them into her imaginary play. (For example, Sarah Lynn teaching Maggie to sing).

My son loved the Lil People DVD his toy came with, so I bought this one for variety. He absolutely loves this DVD! He giggles and dances to a couple of the songs. My son has no interest in watching other cartoons (except Superwhy) so I was quite surprised when he was entertained by Lil People. We have Creativity Collection and the Friendship Collection and they're both colorful and cute for little kids.

My 15mos old daughter loves this dvd! She even asks for it by name. The music can get annoying and will inhabit your dreams but a great purchase bc it keeps her occupied.

My 19-month old daughter loves the Little People DVDs. Well produced. Great use of music (I'm a record producer) and the stories are perfect for the little ones. My daughter prefers the Little People to just about everything, with the only exception being Elmo. I bought 3 Little People DVDs and can recommend these.

Our son loves the little people videos and toys. He knows their names better than mom and dad. He is 2.5 yrs old and a couple of the chapters scare him (1 in the music/1 in the creativity) so we skip over those. But overall he enjoys watching the DVD each night before going to bed.

We have a lot of the little people toys and the stories are a fun way to help them use their imagination and bring the toys to "life". Little people stories are full of kindness and are age appropriate for the very beginners.
