4.0 out of 5 stars Rips Through the Old Tale with Clever Animation, October 13, 2000
By 
Jean E. Dvorak (Jamesburg, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rip Van Winkle [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This Claymation version of Irving's "Rip Van Winkle" offers a fairly accurate retelling of the legend. What sets it apart, however, is the delightfully complex clay animation. Facial expressions and moods are clearly shown in the animated figures, bringing surprising life to each and every character.

The songs are simple and offer good insight into the story's interpretation.

The film is generally geared towards children, but adults certainly can appreciate the artistry.

This one is definitely worth the purchase as a visual aid to teaching the old tale in most classrooms.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not What You Think, September 13, 2001
By 
Kevin Ratliff (Paducah, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rip Van Winkle [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This video is okay for little kids. I am an 11th grade teacher and found the songs to be somewhat childish and geared towards people from the 70's. If you're looking for something to relate Washington Irving's masterful storytelling to a group of students, I suggest Disney's version of Sleepy Hollow. It is not as graphic as the Tim Burton version, and it is funny enough to keep the students interested. This Rip Van Winkle is just "too corny" for my group.
