This was advertised as the updated version but was actually the old version. When I asked the seller about the difference they said they didn't have the new version but I checked online again and they were still advertising as having the new version. Be careful.

Recently, my four-year-old son had a space-themed birthday party, and I gave away this DVD to each kid in the goodie bags. Well, I know that my family enjoys Jake's adventure and all the wonderful songs with space factoids, but I couldn't believe all the emails and phone calls I received from other parents raving about how their kids cannot get enough of the DVD. As for the reviewer that was put off by Venus not liking Mercury calling her names like "fartball" and "planet stinky"- that is ridiculous, especially since it emphasizes to children that the gases on Venus smell like sulphur. Great music and great fun. Also, it does explain how Pluto lost its status as a planet. Very well done there.

My nephew said that this was "grrrrreat". He was happy there was a Pluto update since finding out that Pluto is not really one of the planets.

My son, 18 months is memorized with this video. I love it too. Very catchy songs that help

you remember the facts.

This is a great educational video. My daughter really likes the planets. We like all of the songs. This isn't meant to be a great science fiction movie, so if you are looking for special effects, this isn't the video, but it is cute and you get the idea of the space travel of the boy. I would highly recommend this video and the other by Wonderscape called "Potty Power."

What could be better? My six grandchildren were huddled together mesmerized by this entertaining and educational video. The high energy performers and the easy to learn songs make this a fun activity while they are learning a great deal about space. Since we own the original, the update about Pluto makes this very special and current. This is a wonderful gift item!

The kids love this Dvd, and can now tell you about all of the planets,

and the order they come in from next to the sun!

This is a great video for 4-6 year olds. It offers basic knowledge (2 or 3 pieces of information on each planet and lively songs. I took my grandsons to an OMSI planet display and then followed it with this video. They seemed to have retained some information and seeing this video again reminds they of their visit.

My 5 year old nephew has been watching this non stop since Christmas - he LOVES it!

I eagerly bought this video after having borrowed it from the library a million times.I was especially pleased that this video had been updated to include the "demotion" of Pluto. However, that is not the only edit. In addition, the planets call each other names that are not fit for small ears. IE, "fartball". Therefore, a perfectly good video is now worthless. The edits are unnecessary and disappointing. I plan to contact the company and tell them the same.
