Movie Reviews
Not impressed

"By the title I would be led to believe that there is more than one George story. There is one George and a few others, one of which scares my 2 1/2 year old. I thought the stories would be animated. However, some (including George) are pictures from a story book. We love to read books, but videos should be more than photos of a story book. Would not recommend this."
Not animated

"Two out of three of the stories in this DVD are not animated. They are simply pictures from the book accompanied by a narrator reading the book. One could do this with a video camera."
Books on video

"The Scholastic Video Collection is a limited set of Weston Woods's many excellent productions of video versions of children's picture books. Their intention is to create story hour readings of the books -- not animated films. Original illustrations are used, with minimal animation added for emphasis.
Think Reading Rainbow, not Spongebob Squarepants, and you will not be disappointed."
Not the best in the series

"We own about 15 of the Scholastic video DVDs and I've shown them to children from 3 to 6 - including my son who is 4.5. Curious George is good of course, but I was not impressed by any of the others on this dvd. My (3 yr old daycare) kids would barely watch this one."
My 2 1/2 year old and I are very disappointed

"He finds the George "video" boring - this is not a child who watches videos or TV regularly, so this is surprising, since he LOVES Curious George. THIS IS NOT AN ANIMATION OF CURIOUS GEORGE. And the "other" tales of mischief are stories of other characters, some of which are scary to my 2 1/2 year old. He is still having nightmares from one of them.
This product should make it more clear that it is a compilation of a VARIETY of character-based stories. The marketing/advertising implies that this video is a compilation of Curious George videos --
had I known it was not, and that the Curious George story was not even a video, I would NOT have purchased it.
