After seeing the poor reviews available, I thought I would add something more helpful -- about the programs themselves. The Madeline programs are sweet, well produced, have clever songs and important messages. My daughters have discovered and love Madeline - I am thankful for something that is good quality to watch, that doesn't have villains, violence and messages that fly over my 2 & 4 yr. olds' heads. (Message re previous reviews: You can choose the episode by pressing "menu"; and the fact that they are not in French does not detract from the quality and impact of the programs.

Well, I have only one complaint, and it should serve as a warning to DVD viewers: The DVD does not go directly to the menu when you put it in to the player. It plays the three episodes BEFORE going to the menu.

Other than that, the episodes were great! I just love the songs there!

I enjoyed "Madeline at the North Pole", but was very disappointed when I went to the 'Languages' section and did not have 'French' as one of the languages to hear the movie in. Madeline is French! All of her DVDs should offer a French language choice under the 'languages' setting of all Madeline DVDs. My 7 year old daughter has been studying French for 2 years because she loves Madeline and the idea that she is French.

I only gave this DVD 3 stars because the French language was not available as a choice on this DVD. When the setting of all Madeline books, VHS, and DVDs are in France and the main character is French, then the sensible thing would be to offer French as one of the language choices on all of Madeline's DVDs in the future.

Sincerely,

Susan, Mother of 3 and wife to Graeme
