"All right, so maybe the DVD isn't extremely magic, but "I Am Extremely Magic" is one of the seven "Charlie and Lola" stories featured on this DVD. And after watching all of these episodes, you and/or your kids might feel that the show is extremely magic too.
The title episode for this DVD is "How Many More Minutes Until Christmas?" It's a double-length story in which Charlie & Lola receive an Advent calendar for Christmas. They excitedly count down the days until Christmas, but are shocked when it appears that Christmas has disappeared from their calendar. There's a lot of great moments and funny dialogue in this one and it conveys the magic of the holidays quite nicely. Oh, and the theme music in this episode has a holiday sound to it.
My favorite and my best story on this DVD though is "I Completely Know About Guinea Pigs" as I own a guinea pig myself. The guinea pig in this story is very cute and there's a funny surprise ending.
Other stories on this DVD are "Charlie is Broken!," "I Spy with My Little Eyes," "I Am Really, Really, Really Concentrating" and "I Really Wonder What Plant I'm Growing." The DVD also includes subtitles, as well as two bonus outtakes and the sweet "It's Snowing" video montage."
Kids, (and parents), will LOVE this!

"From all of the Charlie and Lola dvd's, this is our favorite. They are all really good though but we like this one because it has a Christmas episode in there. The Charlie and Lola cartoons, are so thoughtful and stylish and thinking outside the typical cartoon you see on tv these days. The artwork, the music, and the characaters are so friendly and helpful towards one another and just a nice cartoon you want your kids to see instead of the violence and weirdness you see. I really like the relationship the brother-sister duo has. Imaginative and just cozy. This is a winner in our library."
I love Charlie and Lola. Oh, and so does my 3-year old!

"This DVD has several episodes on it, not just the one about Christmas. My 3 year old loves Charlie and Lola, and I don't mind watching the DVD over and over again with him."
They are the best!

"I bought this and several other Charlie and Lola videos for my 3-1/2 year old daughter. The title episode is adorable; the music and graphics are delightful. My daughter "absolutely completely" loves them all so much so that she has committed several episodes to memory, down to the English accent. I even catch myself watching these videos over and over with her because they really are so well done. I never liked cartoons when I was growing up - probably because the choices included Tom and Jerry and Bugs Bunny and the like. The characters really are not nice to each other. By contrast, Charlie and Lola are so sweet to each other without being syrupy. I think the videos teach great lessons about respect for one another. I highly recommend this particular video and the whole series. Hard to pick just one favorite."
