Even the simplest move we make requires a host of complex interactions between our muscles, bones, and brain. DK's Eyewitness: Human Machine lays it all out in a way kids and adults will both love. Their distinctive visual style, using modern special effects, always provokes a "Wow!" from the audience. Examining athletes in slow-motion, microphotography of our tiniest parts, and state-of-the-art imaging techniques for peeking inside the brain, DK shows us what is known and piques our curiosity to learn more. It's rare for a family education video to actually educate the whole family--Eyewitness: Human Machine works and should be a part of any lifetime of learning. --Rob Lightner

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, July 5, 2003

By A Customer

My 5 year old daughter was a little taken back by the robot/human actor, but grew to love him. She has watched this video over and over again within days. She learned so much and so did mom and dad. We are homeschoolers and this is a wonderful way to learn about the human body. Little bits of facts; not over-loading the children. Great learning tool.

2.0 out of 5 stars not for 2 year olds, May 9, 2000

By	"yvonne123" (Scottsdale, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

This video has a lot of narratives and it is kinda slow. It counldn't hold the attention of my near-two-year old. She also found the 'robot' in the video a little scary.
