Casey and Carter create a make-believe land, and then find themselves in it, riding a train and being guided by Cubby the Caboose and Chug-a-lug the Engine. On the entertainment bill are musical cowboys, dancing paper dolls, and a singing vegetable patch. Clunky, excessive, and sometimes poorly produced, this video will probably have some appeal to small kids. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth Every Penny!, January 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Wee Sing Train [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video has been a definite favorite in our home.Our 15 month old daughter loves it and will spin around the room, march, and howl to it with the best of them. The video gets its storyline from children who build a train set out of their toys and they jump on board with stops along the way to sing and dance with their toys. If your kids like the puppet type shows with singing, this is a must have video!

This review is from: Wee Sing Train [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have learned through experience that whenever buying a "Wee Sing" series videotape, you will get quality, wholesome songs, and pure innocence. As with the entire series, these shows lack any hint of sarcasm or rudeness on the characters behalf. There is nothing controversial here: nothing scary, no slang, no profanity, no mean-ness, no worry that some problematic topic will crop up. The children all get along with each other (as in the TV show "Barney") and they like each other and treat each other with respect. The only bad thing about the entire series is that the songs tend to stick in my (adult) head and hearing some of these videos can get annoying and do suffer from a little goofiness!

Wee Sing Train is a cute story that begins with a brother and sister setting up a train layout with toy trains. They then take other toys and set up little areas (vignettes) around the track. They then suddenly shrink down (could be their imagination) and sit on the talking train and travel around the track. They stop at each "area" and have an experience with their toys. There are singing cowboys "home on the range" and it goes on and on. The songs are traditional popular American children's music, with some new Wee-Sing songs. There is even a special song that must be sung to get the train moving along the track: it is a train powered by song.

This is a very cute video that both my boys love. It has been playing in our home for over 3 years now and both children never tire of it! This is high-quality age-appropriate children's entertainment. My children began watching it when they were one year old and enjoyed it then. Both children sing these songs throughout the day, even months after seeing the video for the last time. (Hey, I need a break from it sometimes!)

There is also a board book for this Wee Sing Train, which tells a shortened version of "The Little Engine That Could" that comes with an audiotape. That audiotape has more songs on it and tells the story with song of "The Little Engine That Could". That audiotape has gotten us through some long car rides. The book is nothing remarkable. If you child loves the Wee Sing Train be aware that Brio (used to) make a wooden train figure 8 set that has the colored Wee Sing Train track and the Wee Sing 3-car train and elephant character and if you search for a set, you may be able to find one.

I bought this video for my 3 year old daughter and she LOVES it! We watch it over and over and over again! We love to dance to the paper dolls and Sheriff Nickerbocker. We bought ALL the Wee Sing videos now and watch them all the time. The whole series is super.
