The beginning of a new school year is a time of anticipation and opportunity and it's up to viewers to help Bratz girls Cloe, Sasha, Yasmin, and Jade choose this year's activities in this interactive CGI production. By using their remotes, viewers decide whether the Bratz foursome will put on a Broadway show or a talent show, create a pop or rap music video, and determine the format of the yearbook. With two to six distinct paths at each choice point, there are a multitude of possible scenarios, but the separate paths converge following each segment to offer a common set of choices leading into the next scene. While the stylized, sassy Bratz girls exude teen attitude, morality prevails as they work hard and express themselves through acceptable creative activities. Virtues like respect, niceness, and a commitment to education are emphasized in the Bratzline segment in which the girls offer advice on everything from friendship to fashion and party tips. Bonus features include an interactive quiz feature that lets viewers discover which Bratz girl she most closely resembles and commentaries by Cloe and Yasmin. (Ages 7 to 12) --Tami Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Ten Times better than any previous BRATZ video!, July 31, 2006

By	E. Parkinson "Film & Book VIP" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought the first two BRATZ DVD (from FOX Home Video) for my pre-teen niece, and she liked them alot, but complained that the animation wasn't up to Disney or Pixar quality. Imagine our surprise to find that this newest BRATZ video, "Livin It Up With The Bratz" is right on target with the best quality 3-D animation in the world. The closing credits indicate that the Jim Henson Creature Factory was involved with the motion-capture aspects, with the balance of the animation coming from the acclaimed "Extra-Large Technology" group in Hollywood. In addition to superior animation, this video features a great plot line, and even stronger songs. The clincher is the DVD's "interactive" mode which enables multiple choices to be made throughout the program, each with different results. The interactive mode is controlled by the DVD remote, so it's really easy to use. My niece and two of her girlfriends watched this program (and played with the interactive options) for three hours straight, making this a truly cost-effective piece of entertainment!

5.0 out of 5 stars BRATZ ROCK, September 17, 2006

A Kid's Review

What's with the new rule that you have to purchase this here before reviewing...

But anyway, I bought this for my sister for her 11th birthday and she loved it. Normally, I gotta say I'm the Bratz girl, I think they're great, but I thought it would be fun for her. This DVD is interactive. I sat down to watch it while she played it and I have to say it was really cool, the animation was a lot better than the previous movies. There are really many diferent paths that you can choose and each have their own ending. I think this is for years 8(or 7) and up. Somewhere around there. Again, the graphics are awesome. The music videos were really good, the songs are so catchy, and the choreography was cool. I think any Bratz fan would love it. The photoshoot looked very nice, my sister "wow'd" and "whoa'd" a couple times, ha. The only thing is... I think they should work a little bit more on the guys look. But it was really fun for her, she played the whole thing and went to all the different options, so I'm really glad I bought this. Also, the TV spot for Bratz Genie Magic made me decide to buy that so I'd say this buy was a success XD

Marvelous job, MGA, do more!!
