5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful stories but annoying menu options, December 28, 2004

This review is from: Rolie Polie Olie - Springy-Time Fun (DVD)

I gave this DVD 5 stars because the Rolie Polie stories contained on it are wonderful: funny, clever, visually intriguing, containing wholesome (but not cloying) morals, something that parents and kids can enjoy together. One set of shorts is devoted to Valentine's Day, one to a nondenominational version of a springtime holiday. It's a shame this series isn't more widely known and appreciated. My 3 yr old twins and my 7 yr old happily watch this DVD together.

The major criticism is the way the DVD is packaged by Disney. I've never come across a more annoying, counterintuitive set of menus. You first are automatically subjected to previews of the umpteenth Disney latest release, and you must opt out of the previews by clicking on an exit function. Similarly, there is no "play all" function readily available; you have to individually select which of the sets of shorts you want to watch, then select play in a separate menu for that set. Worst of all, you have to listen to some irritating narrator blather on about what you're trying to watch and no matter how you try to make your selection, you can't until a certain amount of blather has elapsed. My clever 3 yr old has figured out how to keep pressing play in just the right way to expedite the process, but it's horribly annoying and makes me loathe the Disney juggernaut even more.

All the things the other reviewers say about the DVD navigation are true. On top of that, you sometimes cannot scroll around on the menu. Instead you have to wait for the highlight to move around and hit enter when it's on your selection. What a complete waste of parents' time! FYI, this is a collection of mini episodes. Before you realize one episode is over, you're into the next, so portion control to kids is also difficult. Disney, this is inexcusable!! 4.5 stars for content, 1 star for usability.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but no Baby Bot Chase, March 29, 2004

This review is from: Rolie Polie Olie - Springy-Time Fun (DVD)

This DVD is cute, but it is not a full length movie. It constantly puts you back to the menu and has a ton of previews, which can be irritating if your little one is excited about watching!! Just not one of my daughter's favorites and she is crazy about Rolie Polie Olie.
