Pepito's Spanish ambassador father is transferred from Paris to London, which leads to tears for Madeline and her classmates and a food strike for their former next-door neighbor once he gets to his new digs across the English Channel. The distraught boy thins down enough to alarm his parents, prompting a call to Miss Clavel who packs the girls "in two straight lines" into an airplane and off they head toward the land of Big Ben. Once they arrive, they realize it's Pepito's birthday, so they buy him a horse, leading to the usual zany complications. This 24-minute video is based on author Ludwig Bemelmans's original book with songs added. While the lyrics are not always up to Bemelmans's standards (sample: "Oh me, oh my, what can I do. / I am very sad. Boo hoo. Boo hoo."), viewers will find that the charm of the books remains intact. --Kimberly Heinrichs

This review is from: Madeline: In London [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A very fun and cute video. The music is great. My 3 year old daughter really enjoyed it. Is very close in content to the actual Madeline book.
