4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Look at the Toys We Used to Play With, September 6, 1999
This video provides an enjoyable look back to the toys loved by baby boomers. The toy makers sure did something right, because to the best of my knowledge they are all still in production.

This 52 minute tape examines eight toys -- Barbie Dolls, G.I. Joe, Slinky, Matchbox Cars, Etch-A-Sketch, Twister, Ant Farms, and Radio Flyer wagons. Much of the video has footage of the toys in use and their commercials.

In addition, behind the scenes footage shows the toys' developers and some of the factories busy manufacturing them.

Having never broken an Etch-A-Sketch, I was glad to see inside one and now fully appreciate how it works! Also noteworthy were the lengths Matchbox engineers would go to make sure their toy cars were accurate.

5.0 out of 5 stars a fun walk down memory lane, November 17, 1998
By A Customer
Our Favorite Toys is a nostalgic look at the toys we all grew up with and loved. This video has clips of original commercials including the jingles we still can recite. Our Favorite Toys brings back fond memories of childhood.
