This disc has a story, 2 songs, 2 music videos, a vocabulary section, a handful of preveiws, a game, and 2 computer web links.
The story is the same as the regular CD read-along, but I think it's funny to hear them speak other languages. There are 2 songs from the movie, "He Mele No Lilo" and "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride", to sing along with. The 2 music videos are the A*Teens "I Can't Help Falling in Love With You" and "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride." The vocabulary section is educational because you can learn beach-related words in 5 languages. (Swimmerifen, ha ha!) The previews are previews, what more can I say. The game isn't very hard, so it will be easy for littler kids. (I, being 12, didn't enjoy it that much.) I can make no comment on the web-links, because I can't do them on my computer. Well, MY favorite part was the sing alongs, and the "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" music video, though there was a preview of a computer game I particularly enjoyed.
All in all, this is good for Lilo & Stitch fans of all ages. (Save the ones that only liked it for the Elvis music)

Captioning is a great way to teach children how to read. Unfortunetly, the captioning in this video is small and hard to read. Also, the words change sizes as they are being read. You would think this would make it easier to follow along but it doesn't - it just confuses things.

On the good side of things these are great stories, the characters are familiar to many children and the music videos are fun. The other languages are a bonus too.

Read-TV is a much better way to teach children to read through captions. The text is big and kid-friendly, the stories are sweet and the production values are great.

It's simply wonderful! I can enjoy the soundtracks with my little sons. The story is single an fun. It has a love and familiar union messages.

This is an excellent DVD!! I wish there were a read along DVD for every childrens story book. I agree with previous reviews that it does go a little fast, but my 6 year old who is learning to read said she likes it a lot and is learning words just from seeing them on the screen. It would be great if they had different reading level options where it would go slower with simpler words and shorter story, but I think just seeing the words and hearing them helps the younger child anyway. Great for busy working moms like myself. I pick my child up from after school daycare and when we get home, I pop this in the DVD player and play it for her while I'm preparing dinner. I think it has a better outcome than if I had read to her because she relates to the characters and can see the words as it is being read. Disney, if you see this review, I think a good concept would be to put out other learning videos that corespond with your worbooks. Like DVD flash cards with the princesses and different characters.
