4.0 out of 5 stars My daughter's favorite video, December 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sing & Dance Along [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My 20 month daughter has loved this video since she was 16 months old. She calls it "dancing" and watches it DAILY enthralled, or "dances" with it, or even plays her baby piano along with it. Please keep in mind - this video is designed for children, not for adults who collect Shirley Temple memorabilia. This is why some of the songs have been modified, (the addition of children's voices in instrumental dance scenes, scenes of Shirley in action from other movies in some still singing scenes, colorization, and the words to the songs bouncing along the bottom)in order to keep the children's attention. I also wish "On the Good Ship Lollypop" had been included, but can only hope that the studio is saving it for a Sing & Dance Along vol II - we've almost worn vol I out!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the greatest..., July 31, 2002

By A Customer

This video is very different...it isn't a Shirley Temple movie. It is a recent video; a collection of some of Shirley's songs. They have added other children's voices to the original songs and this totally spoils them! Another thing...I know that every review mentions this, but I still can't believe that this video doesn't even feature "ON THE GOOD SHIP LOLLIPOP"! Personally, I think this is just another scam to make money off Shirley collectors, who will buy anything as long as it has anything to do with Shirley Temple. One can always buy a Shirley CD, or go to the website: Shirley Temple-The World's Darling and listen to her songs on the postcard page for free! Well, if you are a serious collector, go ahead...but if you are a fan of the movies, leave this on the shelf and pick something else!

4.0 out of 5 stars Shirley at her best!, June 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Sing & Dance Along [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The new video, Shirley Temple: Sing and Dance Along, is wonderful for Shirley Temple fans, or even as an introduction to Shirley Temple for young children. Each of the songs has words accompanying the music, so kids can sing along if they want.

There were a few things that I was not too pleased with. First of all, during two of the songs, children's voices have been added to sing along with the music. Not only is this annoying for Shirley Temple purists, but in my opinion the children who are singing are somewhat tone-deaf. This was only included in two of the songs, both of which were from "Captain January". Second, there is a glaring omission of Shirley's most famous song, "On the Good Ship Lollipop". As a Shirley Temple fan, that would have been the first song I would have included in a compilation such as this. I would suggest to Fox that they could put out another volume of "Sing and Dance Along", and include the lollipop song, as well as some of the others that made her movies so enjoyable, such as "Polly-Wolly-Doodle", "That's What I Want For Christmas", and "Baby, Take A Bow."
