DVD Reviews of All About Fast Trains/All About Airplanes
DVD Review: Hours of Entertainment
Summary: 4 Stars
Our 2-year-old is obsessed with all things that move - cars, trucks, trains, planes and, of course, anything with a siren. While trying to find videos on these topics, I came across the All About series. Some of the reviews were mixed, but for $5, I figured I couldn't go wrong. This particular video is quickly getting worn out in its first week at the house - mostly because, unlike some of the others in the series, the actual imagery focuses on the trains and airplanes and has less of an "education" or talking component than some of the other videos in the series. For our toddler, this video is more age-appropriate with a greater focus on visual stimuli. Here's a quick recap:
PROS
* Lots of train and airplane visuals - for us, the train segment is the clear winner and it's watched over and over and over ...
* Music isn't overbearing
* 30 minutes per segment, perfect for a short attention span
CONS
* The videos are older and the quality isn't superior. But, for a toddler, this is not a huge factor. He doesn't need Speilberg special effects to be entertained.
* For some kids, depending on their age, there may be too much talking/discussion about trains/planes. For our son, the trains segment is perfect, but he gets distracted when watching the planes segment.
Overall, for $5, not bad. Although I think this video series (in general) is more targetted at kids between 4 and 7 years old.
DVD Review: Can't beat it for price
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a mother of a 3 yo train fanatic and a 2 yo plane afacianodo. Both love the video, and for the price you can't beat it. Sure there is better photography and narration out there, but my sons ask for this video as much as their Disney and Thomas videos. They enjoy the "reality" of the video and I would highly recommend it for any child who enjoys trains/planes.DVD Review: To me it's horrible!
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought this was a terrible video. But what really matters is my kids and they have worn the DVD out. They love the video and the variety of trains.DVD Review: Rename this DVD!
Summary: 3 Stars
The DVD should be called "Something about Trains & Planes". There are hardly any fast trains in this DVD. This product seems to have been filmed in the early eighties & the only fast train they show is the Amtrak Acela express. The audio is also extremely poor. Extended footage of model trains, a parade in some town, and Santa distributing candies to kids from the back of a train!
Despite all this my son who is 3 loves it! He would give it 10 stars!
DVD Review: Trains Great, Airplanes No.
Summary: 4 Stars
Got this for my three year old Grandson. He loves trains. He watches the train part over and over. He loses interest with the airplane part. It is a very inexpensive entertaining DVD. I would give the train part and A+, but not the airplane part.
