5.0 out of 5 stars Great video to help kids understand what's happening to our environment March 13, 2011

By Auny A.

This video is fantastic! The characters and songs are adorable, and it's even informative for adults about how we can take care of our planet. This video is the first I've seen that brings the climate change issue to life for little kids. And they have a blast watching it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful March 20, 2011

By R. Volkel

I've seen it a few times now... what a cool little film. Note: if you're looking for a dreamworks-level hollywood production, this isn't for you. This DVD is about a powerful message that kids should begin to absorb early in life. It's told in a fun and creative way, and it puts a smile on your face at the end of it all, adult or child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for kids- adults will love it too March 15, 2011

By Kristina Willey

"Simon says lets stop climate change" is a cute and entertaining film that not only kids will have fun wathcing but adults will love as well. What I found most amazing was that I actually learned something about climate change that I did not know - and my nephew and niece got educated on our current global crisis as well. A great film that is fun for both adults and children. Two Thumbs up!
