This is an excellent DVD. I love it because it teaches while girls can be little princesses, they can still do things for themselves. My little girl loves it and I highly recommend it!

My 2 year old daughter LOVES Abby Cadabby, and this was our first DVD that we bought her because she wants to see Abby. We don't let her watch a bunch of TV, but I adore Sesame Street and love how educational it as. I have great childhood memories of sesame street myself. Some of the parts are repackaged from the regular episodes, but my daughter loves it.

I bought this for my 4 month old daughter as a small intro to Sesame Street. She really enjoys watching it and eating her Abby Cadabby doll. As a mother and feminist, I enjoy it as well. It breaks the mold of your classic princess in distress. The characters utilize great problem solving skills and do not need a prince to rescue them. The prince, played by Paul Rudd (he's not too hard on the eyes;), ends up finding out these princesses are completely capable! In the end, I love how they play princess football! I love the combination of nonstereotypical feminity. A great addition to any infant or toddler's DVD collection!

My daughter loves all things princess. I do not. I think the princess culture does our daughters more harm than good. I do, however, loooooove all things Sesame Street. So voila! This is the perfect compromise. Cute, fun and educational. What more could I ask for? And the best part! There's a segment that kind of spoofs the whole "damsel in distress" image so common in fairy tales. The girls solve their own problems in spite of a very funny Prince Charming ( Paul Rudd) trying to help. So great!

all I can say is I am looking forward to watching my 20 month old enjoy this movie, I see no reason it won't be enjoyed for hours and hours at a time.
