My mother bought this as a VHS when I was a child in the 80s. I don't remember being so fond of it, but it kept my little brother reasonably entertained. However, since that time, plenty of cousins and family friends have borrowed our video and become obsessed. I can think of occasions when 3 different families have begged us to give them the video because their kids (ranging from ages 4-9) love it so much that they will watch it over and over and over again. (My mother wouldn't relinquish probably out of sentimentality reasons.) Now 20 years later, my daughter is 1.5 yrs old and we dug this video out to show her. She sat still for quite awhile watching it, something she has not done for any other video or program. I'm going to have to purchase the DVD for my own home.

I can't say that as an adult, it's a particularly enjoyable movie. The kids all overact every single line and exaggerate their facial expressions to the extreme. That said, the singing is fairly good, and the dancing and concept is cute. I don't know what the magic element is, but it seems to work to keep kids enthralled. Most of the songs are classics: Itsy bitsy spider, Bingo, Old MacDonald, If you're happy and you know it, Head Shoulders Knees & Toes, Rain Rain Go Away, etc.

If you have kids aged 4-8, I'd highly recommend it. Although I wouldn't recommend having your kids live in front of the tv screen, it's good for parents to have a secret weapon that will guarantee an hour of quiet while getting important chores done occasionally.

My mother purchased this video 20 years ago when her first grandchild was born and has passed it down to the remaining 18 grandchildren. They have all thoroughly enjoyed it and I was so excited to find it on DVD. My kids ages 18 months and 3 years love it as much as my niece did 20 years ago. They have learned so many classic nursery rhymes and love singing along while watching.

If you ever had to entertain a toddler or preschooler all day every day you will love this video. I would put this video in after a long day and it would keep my daughter thoroughly entertained so I could make dinner or just read the paper. It was truly a sanity saver! Yes, I am one of those "bad" parents that let my child watch a wholesome video. I highly recommend this to any new parent. Warning: the video itself it highly annoying to any adult that actually watches it over and over. The acting is horrible and the songs will stay in your head forever!

(People who are neither parents nor baby-sitters: this review is not for you.)

Do you ever have an urgent need for a bunch of small kids to be quiet and still for an hour? This video is more effective than even cough-syrup and duct-tape used together.

There's nothing remotely harmful or controversial in it. It takes a skeleton of a story (stuffed animals whisk the children away to a fairyland for a birthday party) and hangs lots (and lots...) of chirpy, perky songs on it.

Simply assemble the kids in a room, hit the Play button, and quickly leave, closing the door behind you. If you skip that last part, you will instantly be infected by chirpy, perky ear-worms that could well embarrass you later as you hop and skip your way around the supermarket singing: "Skidamarink a dink a dink, Skidamarink a doo..." (Yes, I wish I was just imagining this part.)

At the end of the hour, your kids will emerge to find that you're much more capable of dealing with them pleasantly and calmly. Don't think your kids won't notice: the next time you patiently and loudly tell them "BECAUSE I SAY SO!" they might well ask: "Dad: can we watch "Wee Sing?"

And don't for a moment think this works only once: unlike cough-syrup, it can be used almost daily for years with no lingering side-effects. Take great care of the DVD: it will be played more often than any other you own.

My daughter want to watch Wee Sing everyday (for about two weeks) then I believe she out grow it (and she is only 2 and half ^_^). I am hoping she will re-grow into this show as it suppose to be entertaining upto 8 years old.

My wife was disappointed that this is not a new production. She just assumed that a 2003 copyright means that it is produced in 2003. I had to explain that DVD format is produced in 2003, but the original production was back in the 80's ^_^

used to have a video tape of it from a friend. Broken by my daughter. Dvd is durable so buy one for me and one for my friend. It is a classic piece, the best among wee sing series.

I found this on VHS at a garage sale over a year ago and my daughter loves it! It beats out any other kid movie we have! I had actually been looking for another copy because ours was misplaced for a couple months. We finally found it, but now that it is out on DVD we will definately buy it to replace the VHS. My daughter is now 2 1/2 years old and knows every song on the video and even knows whats going to happen next on the movie. The little girl Sally is adorable and an incredible actress/dancer. Just be warned...kids will want to watch it repeatedly and if you have a girl you will need to buy her a red dress like Sally's so she can dance along with her!

We have 4 kids (3 girls and a boy) and my girls have gone nuts over this show. Not so much for my son. It doesn't take those little 2 year olds to start learning the lines of the songs and it sure makes for some awesome entertainment for the rest of us! I would recommend this one to anyone with little ones!!!

I bought this movie for my son because this was one of my favorites when I was little. I wanted to steer him away from the mind numbing, non educational, violent cartoons. I was worried that it wouldn't capture a 4 year olds interest but he loves it! The songs are so catchy and he always sings the songs in the car. On top of being fun, it is educational. I recommend this for any child.

My children grew up with this video on VHS and now my grandchildren are enjoying it just as much
