I have looked at this DVD and not only is the animation of excellent quality, Sony Wonder has added many extras, including an educational program to learn Spanish. In fact, this language program also allows Spanish children to learn English. This added bonus is not available with the videotape version, which makes buying this DVD definitely worthwhile. I look forward to more DVDs in this series with this "enriched entertainment!"

Besides wonderful animation, this DVD offers a reason to buy DVDs in the first place. The stories are enriched with a language-learning program that is amazingly clever and effective. We loved it. Now the kids can watch their favorite cartoons and learn to speak a foreign language at the same time.

I was extremely upset with this DVD. I plan to write to Sony & the producers of this show. I find it unnecessary for the writers to use the word "jerk" to describe unruly kids in school. That's all I need my 3 year old to start calling people. What is this world coming to that these writers feel the need to put such foul language in a children's movie. My children will never watch this movie again. I wouldn't recommend this unless you don't mind your kids using the word "jerk" It was used more than once.

Despite the fact that my 3 year old loved this, I was appalled at the use of mean words, especially the word "jerk", in this DVD. It has been taken away, never to be watched again. I agree with one of the other reviewers, what were the creators of this, otherwise cute DVD, thinking with that language? Parents beware!

I agree with the previous review (about the language that is used), I got this DVD for my 4 year old son, who loves it but...although the stories are very cute and clever, the language that is used is a bit odd for a young childrens video, such as mean naming calling to others and using other offensive language (for small kids) like 'jerk' and more. Overall the stories are nice and well put together, I just wish they could find other words to use inplace of the harsher words they've chosen, especially when your child wants to watch it over and over again!!

The VHS of the Rainbow Fish shows are great, but this improves upon them. The added material, plus the bi-lingual mode, all make for an entertaining and educational experience for the kids -- and, for the adults who watch along with them, prepare to be surprised at how clever and sharply drawn these stories are. Like the TV series it's taken from, these are wry, yet simple fish tales that deliver nice little messages without being preachy or heavy handed. Dive in, the water's fine.

We have started watching this with our children and they have made great advances in learning Spanish. This is a great way to learn a new language. We can't wait untill the next ones come out.

This is a great DVD. The kids love the language learning (believe it or not) and we have been making a game out of learning Spanish around the dinner table all started from watching this DVD...Keep it coming..
