We love OSWALD - Get this DVD for your preschooler!

"This DVD is my three year old's very favorite! We watch it everyday! There are 8 episodes in this DVD. It's great for her attention span.
If you've never seen Oswald, you don't know what you're missing! Oswald and his friends are amusing even for adults! There is nice soft music in the background. This is such a great dvd, my daughter has memorized all the little songs that Oswald sings and performs them for family and friends!
Get this for your preschooler, you won't be disappointed!"
Oswald is brilliant.

"This is one of the best shows that's ever been on television for kids or anybody. Scripts, performances, drawing, music even: palatable for hipsters AND my two-year-old daughter has liked it all along. Smart and sweet-natured at once; may the same be said of all of us.
It's true, as a package it could use better bells and whistles, but it looks good and you can circumvent all advertising in a blink, shamefully not always true even with kids' stuff."
Great Stories and Show, So-So DVD Presentation
George Buttner | Dayton, Ohio United States | 10/22/2004

"I'm giving this DVD 4 stars for a great story selection from a great show. On this DVD, you get some of the best stories from Oswald including "Sammy Starfish Live" (in which Oswald meets and performs with his idol), "Goodbye Best Friend" (a touching story about Oswald's friend Henry) and many more stories. I was going to give it three stars because I thought they had cut out the closing credits, but it turns out that all of the closing credits play at the end of the very last story.
As far as the DVD itself, the special features are very lacking. You get one game that involves simply looking at a still picture and then trying to find various things based on text and objects. There are also previews, which thankfully can be easily skipped. As far as previews go, they're not too bad. There are trailers for "Rugrats Go Wild" and "The Wild Thornberrys Movie," as well as promos for this DVD itself and other Nick Jr. DVDs."
Liz - An Older Oswald Fan!

"Okay, I admit it! I am a 23-year old fan of Oswald because the colors are calm with no harsh bold outlined characters, the voices are soothing (w/ an exception to Henry the penguin/David Landers..lol). The stories are cheesy w/ Oswald's weiner dog being named...Weenie (any similarity to Winnie from "The Wonder Years"?...hmm).
I am a huge fan of Fred Savage and he really brings out a soft-hearted octopus to life with bizarre adventures and a collection of silly songs that are sure to stick in your head. I highly recommend Oswald to all babysitters out there, as not only the younger kids will love the characters & stories, but you may find yourself entranced with the imaginative world of Nickelodeon's Oswald."
