3.0 out of 5 stars Really Wanted to Like This One..., March 18, 2006

By

This review is from: Rockin' with Roseanne - Calling All Kids (DVD)

I am a Roseanne fan since forever, through thick and thin, and really wanted to love this. Though sometimes cute, it was just too cheesy in many respects. The singing was often subpar (even for a kid vid) and the Roseanne close-ups too frequent and too close. The Roseanne dressed as a little girl made me uncomfortable -- guess you just can't pull that off after a certain age. "Popcorn Poppin" was a cute song and story, but the animation was not only cheesy, it was downright scary. Also scary was the brown face makeup on the kids dressed as teddy bears in "Teddy Bears' Picnic." And she REALLY should have left "Three Little Birds" alone. On the positive side, I think my toddler liked it (seemed to hold his attention). "I'm Gonna Tell on You" was pretty funny and clever - two puppet sisters arguing. The Andrews Sisters-type number was also pretty good -- "Let the Kids Boogie," and Roseanne and the girls look great in their 40's outfits/hair. The animated "Peanut Butter and Jelly Fish" was clever and cute, too. My favorite was "Down on the Doughnut Farm" -- just because of the concept and because it was quintessential Roseanne. Also, those doughnuts looked seriously good! (Suggestion: put your shoes on while watching it -- you'll be compelled to run out for doughnuts as soon as its over.) I do hope the kiddies (and their grownups) like it more than I did. I really did want this to be good. I loved the motivation and intention behind it (quirky and for the kids), but for me, it simply missed the mark. Sorry, Rosie. :o( Do consult with me on the next one though! ;o)

5.0 out of 5 stars Calling All Kids...and Grownups, February 8, 2006

This review is from: Rockin' with Roseanne - Calling All Kids (DVD)

I bought this DVD as a gift for an eight-year-old and decided to "preview" it first. I was very impressed. The songs (most are original) are cute and catchy and deliver positive messages for children. The visuals - some using animation, some using puppets and others using live action - are very colorful and creative. Roseanne has a voice that is well-suited to this kind of project. The sets and costumes in the live-action numbers are well-done and the variety of music styles (including an Andrews Sisters dance number using very talented kids and grownups) makes for fun viewing. I especially liked "Let the Kids Boogie," "Calling All Kids," "I'm Gonna Tell On You" and "Don't Do It." Having the choice of watching the DVD with or without singalong lyrics, for those old enough to read, is a good learning tool. I am sure that youngsters will "get the message" while they are being thoroughly amused and entertained by Rockin' With Roseanne.

Bought this DVD for my 4 year old niece's birthday. They played it during the entire birthday party! All the kids were dancing to Let the Kids Boogie - and it was so nice that the music was actually fun for the adults to listen to as well! Highly recommend this DVD for Kids!
