Spot - Discover Spot [VHS]

undefined

Product Description ------------------- It's Spot's first ever full-length video! Spot, the ever-curious, always adorable puppy embarks on a fun and song-filled journey of discovery as he explores the world around him in one exciting adventure after another! Featuring 13 charming new stories -- each with a catchy new song -- to celebrate everything from making breakfast, to brushing teeth and taking a bath, to cleaning up and even putting on a show with friends! Spot looks to life and everything in it with the same joy and wonder as a preschool child. And now, for added education value, after each animated story your child will learn along to live-action vignettes featuring curious preschoolers just like yours! .com ---- Spot the dog leaped from the pages of Eric Hill's books to the Disney Channel some time ago, and now he has his own full-length video. The 13 animated segments (each 4.5 minutes long) feature the puppy, his parents, and pals Helen the hippo, Steve the monkey, and Tom the crocodile in such everyday adventures as building a tree house, camping in the back yard, and donning costumes for a homemade theatrical production. Lovers of the simply illustrated books will recognize such familiar landmarks as the stairway, the rug, and the sofa, as well as the same understandable themes (share, cooperate with adults, follow through). In a universe away from his O-nominated turn in The Sixth Sense, Haley Joel Osment provides Spot's voice. Each short story includes an original song and is followed by a brief live-action segment in which kids extrapolate Spot's lesson with their own in "Spot's Garden," an outdoor set that incorporates nature with dress-up boxes. This 74-minute video can easily be viewed in segments by toddlers and preschoolers. --Kimberly Heinrichs P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Review ------ Never will Spot be accused of over stimulating a young one. Though the pace is slow, the children will find the character a charming mix of animal and human. Everyday activities are celebrated, such as brushing teeth and making breakfast. The accompanying songs are a musical stretch, but there is a simple warmth to the visuals and two year olds especially will respond to the rhythm of these slices of Spot's day.
