Not for sensitive little ones ....

ByBeth Beckeron December 12, 2016

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Bought this for my movie collection for my granddaughters to watch when they stay overnight .... the oldest one is almost 7 and she loved it. Her little sister, just turned 5, did not like it ... the fox is super scary and there is one surprising realistic, violent scene that sent her flying to my lap for comforting .... cute story, but definitely not for sensitive little ones! Side note, I actually didn't like that violent scene either! Sensitive Grama!

*Cute Film*

ByNana x 3on May 19, 2016

The First Snow of Winter
This is a cute story of courage and friendship. My grandkids enjoyed it, at least one time. It's not one they will want to frequently watch over and over, but it is a good "once in awhile" video. I would recommend it for younger kids. If you found this review to be helpful, I would greatly appreciate it if you would take a moment to mark it as such. Thanks!

Flying South for the winter

ByBonnie Sayerson August 18, 2003

Format: VHS TapeVerified Purchase

Sean is the cutest white duck with a British accent you will encounter in a video suitable for all ages. On this the flying south for the winter day, Sean and his friend Puffin, who has a colorful beak that reminds me of a cereal box, are chasing gulls.
They come across a fox but escape for the time being and find Sean's Mother telling them it is time to get ready for flying. Sean bids farewell to Puffin for the winter, hoping to see each other come Spring. Up above the sounds of the other ducks leaving with the flute music in the background of the video. Sean's Dad is late in arriving because he forgot his whistle.
Sean falls from the sky landing in the water while his Mother realizes he got lost and goes to look for him, leaving the Father with his two smaller siblings. Sean makes it out of the water and rain begins. A brown animal named Voley arrives and greets Sean.
Voley wants to sleep for the winter in his burrow in the ground, but Sean states he cannot survive without Voley. " I could sleep for ages if you told be a very boring bedtime story". Voley comes back with a funny line, " You'd only be up every hour on the hour asking for a glass of water". Before Voley leaves he tells Sean to look for the lambs since they are the first sign of spring arriving.
Puffin ends up lost from the cloud cover with Sean taking care of him and teaching him how to play music with grass. Soon the lambs are visible and they make their way to the boat with a surprise visit by Voley before finding their parents.
I never get tired of viewing The First Snow of Winter with my children and have watched it many times when they are asleep. It has such an appealing quality with the flute music bringing tears to my eyes and lumps in my throat.

A few months ago my son got our video stuck inside the TV/VCR. This is a hard to find video. This is well worth the price, my only complaint is the shortness of the video, about twenty minutes.

my kids' absolute favorite

ByO. Smithon February 6, 2014

This is a favorite movie for my 2.5 year old twin girls. They call it Sean and a Fox movie... they watch it almost every day and every time they get very emotional, especially in the end when Sean is reunited with his parents and twin sisters. The movie teaches good values. This used to be one of the favorites for my son who is now 8. He still enjoys watching it with the girls and they all dance together with the characters when the music comes on. Highly recommend this movie for little kids! I'm planing on buying one for my little nephew.

"Beautifully Done, Sweet Little Story"

ByDeborah Collinon July 21, 2013

This sweet little story of friendship and devotion has become a part of our holiday celebration. The animation is excellent, and the opening segment is so beautifully drawn and flawlessly executed that you have to remind yourself that you ARE watching an animated program. The Celtic music throughout is a welcome bonus, and adds to the impact of this wonderful video.

Children and adults alike will find this charming story well worth the price. If you feel you can't watch it without a child present, RENT one. This is a "keeper."

This video is the very best one I have ever seen

ByMarikay P.on February 3, 2015

This video is the very best one I have ever seen. We loved it and it has been our four grandchildren's favorite. We have viewed it more time than I can ever count and it will bring wonderful memories back to us long after the kids are grown. Buy it and it will be your most loved video, too.
