5.0 out of 5 stars Truly captures the spirit of the books., August 27, 2001
By 
MICHAEL B LYNCH (Melrose, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Peter Rabbit Collection (DVD)
My daughter loved the World of Peter Rabbit - Story of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny VHS, so I took a chance and ordered this four pack which includes 9 separate 'episodes.' The dvd quality is very good, full-screen aspect only with good sound and excellent picture quality. As for the content, the production values of this series are terrific with beautiful, live-action framing segments portraying the life of the author. As for the animation, it absolutely captures the look and feel of the original illustrations and is simply gorgeous to look at. The stories are true to the original except that two tales are often threaded together to fill an 'episode.' So in the end you get 9 'episodes' but almost twice that in terms of stories. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase. This is a quality product; Go out of your way to get yourself a set. Highest recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Adventures Kids Love!, May 4, 2002
This review is from: World of Peter Rabbit 1 (DVD)
I bought this collection to put in an Easter basket for my four-year-old and she absolutely loved it. She was familiar with The Tale of Peter Rabbit from bedtime stories, but this DVD set brought the stories alive in a wonderful way. The quality is impeccable, from the stunning watercolor animations to the haunting Celtic music used throughout the stories. I loved the inclusion of the lesser known Beatrix Potter tales such as the The Tale of Two Bad Mice (my daughter's favorite) and The Tailor of Gloucester (said to be Beatrix Potter's favorite). My daughter has all but abandoned her Barney and other videos and her enthusiasm has prompted me to purchase Volume 2 so we can enjoy even more.

As a Language Arts teacher, I love that the DVD is remarkably true to the original stories and also uses live-action segments to depict Beatrix Potter as she wrote and illustrated these wonderful stories through her letters to children she knew. They certainly have sparked my daughter's interest in reading more stories. How many videos do that?! These videos are a must have for every DVD family collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peter Rabbit Lives On!, April 20, 2002
By 
Ann Watkins "acmeannie" (Salisbury, North Carolina) - See all my reviews
Absolutely wonderful...not only for young children but for their worn-out parents as well! I bought this video for my son's 3rd Easter and was marvelously surprised at how good it was. My little boy loved it so much, he wore out the tape within 3 weeks. Anyone who thinks Beatrix Potter's classic story is too old-fashioned to captivate a child of the new millenium, they couldn't be more wrong. With the combination of live video scenes of "Beatrix Potter" writing letters and conversing with her animal friends interspersed with beautifully rendered still and animated illustrations from the book, it's a treasure. Gotta buy another one and all the rest as soon as I can.
