I was a little disappointed to have ordered this video all the way from Africa since I will not be showing it to my kids. I believe the sex scenes with daddy cartoon literally 'humping' mommy cartoon are a little too explicit, especially with all the little sexual excitement sounds from the parents. I don't want my kids watching this video and getting the impression that sex is a nice game they could play with their friends, especially since the feelings of the actual sex act are described as a 'tickling feeling except much nicer!'. Whilst it definitely shows kids that there is nothing wrong with sex between a mother and a father, it does nothing to teach them about how sacred the act is. If paedophiles were to get hold of this tape and show it to kids they could easily convince convince them to have sex. A child sex tape should definitely tell the truth about sex and babies but it should go a step further and "abuse-proof" them by teaching them that they should not let anybody touch them on their private parts etc. The tape leaves too many unanswered questions.

I learned what sex was by watching our cows have sex, gross! I was completely misinformed. I learned the rest in middle school. I didn't want to make that mistake with my kids. I rented this for my 10 year old daughter to help explain sex. She had been asking to know how babies were made. It's a great way to completely explain the process to a 10 year old. For the narrowminded reviewers, Your kids are going to hear all kinds of things about sex from school. I want to be there when they watch the video and begin to understand. When it's over, sit with your child and discuss your family's particular beliefs and answer any questions they have. Best video I've seen. Still works 30 years later.

For the reviewers that complained that they showed it to their kids before they watched it themselves, shame on YOU!

This video is well done. I showed it to my children when they were young and asking question. It helped develop the much needed communication on the subject of sex and babies. The complaints of other reviews on this video I believe are very narrow minded.

Winner of the Film Advisory Board award of excellence, Where Did I Come From? is a gentle, colorful teaching aid for instructing young children in the facts of life and where babies come from. Following a couple in love through the birth of their child, Where Did I Come From? is a thoughtful, sensitive, informative, and beautifully produced, 30 minute video for helping nervous parents explain human sexuality.

My mother showed us this movie when we were little kids (over 20 years ago). Things I remember: the sperm dancing with the egg, and um, that's about it. I had seen people breastfeed in real life, so none of that was odd to me. I remember that my mom's friends would come over with their kids to have them watch the movie too. It was just so straightforward and not at all "dirty" or "sexy" to our little minds. It was funny, weird, and a cartoon. I think this is a great way to introduce sex and the different body parts to children. Of course, the parent(s) should be there to answer ANY questions that may arise and to talk about the movie after. At the time, we learned that babies were made when mom & dad were in love. Then the sperm met the egg and the baby was created. Children do not see this as "people humping". The film is tasteful, lighthearted and straightforward.

I rented this movie from the library and really wish I would have previewed it first. It was a little too graphic for my three boys ages 11, 9, and 7. My boys were covering up their eyes and telling me to turn it off. I expected it to be on the lines of the "Once Upon a Potty" cartoon that they watched years ago when learning to potty train. This was more like "Adult Swim" on Cartoon Network. When the mother's breast was shown, it looked like she had a breast enhancement and then they zoomed in on them. Then, the bedroom scene was inappropriate for children. Even the dialog was too much. Instead of this movie, I would recommend the "God's Design for Sex" book series. It's very informative, purposeful and in good taste. This movie is not appropriate for a child of any age to watch. To quote my oldest son, "I'd rather you tell me about [sex] than to see that movie."

I went to the library to get some sex ed books for my nine year old son. I had the book "Where did I come from as a child" and was looking for that for my son, it was checked out but I found this movie and thought it would just be pictures from the book being read on tape so I just played it for him. I was so horrified I could not even get up to turn it off. They zoomed in on the womens breasts, showed a cartoon baby suckling from them and the sex seen with the tickling sensation talk went on for ever monopolizing the video much more then the book. I don't even remember that part as a child in the book. Now I am going to half to back peddle or I will have him experimenting on his sisters for that fun tickly feeling. Terrible.
