Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The ties between domestic cats and dogs and their wild counterparts are what bind these two programs on one video. To learn why Fido fights and puppies play, Spin--the animated planet guide voiced by Dudley Moore--introduces viewers to wolves, coyotes, African wild dogs, and a bat-eared fox. When Spin isn't drawing comparisons between pet dogs and their ancestors, viewers are treated to specially written pop songs such as "Hey Dog," in which dogs howl the chorus. There's a moving segment featuring a working dog's relationship with the disabled boy he assists. Cats get similar treatment (minus the part about helping people) with Tabby's hunting, clawing, and rubbing habits compared to those of lions, tigers, and other big cats. There are the usual jokes about who owns whom when it comes to the pet cat, and the unavoidable footage of African cats turning wildebeest into breakfast. Gore is kept to a minimum, making this 44-minute installment of the National Geographic kid series appropriate for animal lovers from preschool on up. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Product Description
There's a tiger in your tabby! And a wolf in Fido's clothing! So says Spin, National Geographic's animated globe-on-the-go. In a whirlwind, worldwide adventure, he's out to prove that our tame house pets have some really rowdy relatives. Spin checks in with South American jaguars, African wild dogs and lions, and North American cougars and coyotes, proving that all cats and dogs are wild at heart. Awesome animal footage and rocking music videos mix the wild with the mild, and show what's behind Rover's growl and Fluffy's meow. So if you've ever wondered what makes all dogs so doggone doggy, and why furry felines can feel ferocious, HOT DOGS & COOL CATS is for you! It's just one of the many Really Wild Animals adventures in this award-winning series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cats and Dogs everywhere!, July 9, 2001
By A Customer
I bought this video for my one-year-old who just loves cats and dogs. She goes nuts when she sees them in our neighborhood or on TV. This video has plenty of dogs (and wolves) and cats (and tigers) for her to look at. The music video montages are fun. There are a few preditor/prey "situations" during the video, but there is nothing gory. I guess it will help explain "life" when she's older!

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget s65!, June 12, 2005
A Kid's Review
S65 said, "A major dissapointment! Geared towarded adolescent boys with an intention span of moths! Unsuitable for small children. Panels rush by so fast one can bearly register what's on the screen. Boring an violent! (Contains at least two scenes of wild dogs killing smaller animals). Not looking on nature's gentle, funny side. My four-year-old daughter and I hated it! Don't waste your money!" But I STRONGLY dissagree! I have this video at home and enjoy it! It's not boring! I love animals and enjoy this! It does contain scenes with dogs and cats killing other animals, but that's the circle of life! There is one scene, where a coyote kills a gopher, another where the same coyote kills a ground squirrel, a scene where a cheetah kills a gazelle, and a scene with a mountain lion killing a deer, but these scenes are brief. It DOES look on nature's funny side. A lot of jokes Spin makes!
