DVD Reviews of Awesome Whales For Kids DVD
DVD Review: It was just ok
Summary: 2 Stars
I hate to ever give a negative review but just wanted to point out a few things for anyone buying this video. My review isn't horrible but I bought this for my 4 year old son who is crazy about whales & knows alot about them. And although the video definitely shows some amazing footage of whales which I can't deny I felt it was a bit boring. The video is basically like being on a whale watching trip which is great however it's an entire video of listening to people in the background (who are actually on the whale watch trip) ohhhing & ahhhing over every whale jump, etc. And its cut clips from many trips. It got a bit annoying after a while. And the video footage itself seemed very amateur like something I would have taped myself on a whale watch trip. I thought there would be some narration involved which could have made it educational. After having the video on for a half hour or more I couldn't tell if it had restarted or not because the whole thing is the same type of footage. My son did like it but did get bored after a while & stopped watching. I felt this video wasn't any comparison to the shows he normally watches on whales that are educational.
I think its a good DVD for a very young child that is starting to like whales & just wants to watch them jump, etc. because the footage is good & not scary or anything (although the voices of all the random people in the background can get annoying to any parent listening). If your child is a little bit older & you want them to learn something about the whales I would suggest a different video.

Description of Awesome Whales For Kids DVD
This is not the average program about whales. We spent more than 11,000 hours recording every behavior of whales in one of the best places in the world to see whales. Awesome Whales For Kids is the most exciting, most unusual and certainly the most entertaining 67 minutes we encountered.Your children will feel like they are on the boat watching as:
a baby whale plays with seaweed and a plastic bucket,
a humpback whale lifts her 12,000 pound calf out of the water on her back,
a humpback whale blows on people looking down at her,
the humpback whale named Colt trumpets loudly when another whale swims over and puts its chin on his back,
a humpback slams its tail (13 feet wide) on the water right beside the boat,
other calves imitate their mother?s behaviors!
Just when you think it can?t get more exciting; you?ll join us and share the experience of one of the most entertaining, amusing and unbelievable meetings of whales and humans. Stand at the railing as four humpback whales circle the boat and begin singing!
You see the whales in what can only be described as a game of tag or at the very least, an attempt to always be closer to the boat than all the others. We knew the names of two of them: Colt and Stub. It was not surprising because Colt is well known for coming up to boats and getting as close as he can. It is very special to have a whale curious and close to the boat. It is a fantastic experience to also hear their excitement in being there too!
Your children will want to see this one again and again! So will you!
