DVD Reviews of Castle (Hosted by David Macaulay)
DVD Review: Castle
Summary: 5 Stars
Brings history to life for middle and high school students as well as myself. It arrived in perfect condition and sooner than promised.DVD Review: Another great film from the creator of "Cathedral" and Roman City
Summary: 5 Stars
As others have mentioned here, I first saw this years ago from a VHS that my family taped off of PBS. They are history buffs, and "Castle" helped to make a history buff out of me, as well.
It's very obvious the film is from 1983, but that makes it all the more appealing. The animated bits help to bring the Medval subject to life, and to reinforce the film's points for younger viewers.
Macaulay and Sarah Bullen are also interesting to watch, with lively (and even humorous) commentary on-site at several medval castles and villages.
DVD Review: all about Welsh castles of the middle ages
Summary: 3 Stars
Since there were German castles ( like Neuschwanstein Castle) which are much more famous than the Castle Conway which this movie seems to have been based on.
The impression that the building of castles or forts were abandoned after cannon were invented given by this video is just wrong.
I did like the pictures of Welsh castles and the animated story, but
if people get the impression that this is all there is
about castles, they will get the wrong impression.
The Spanish build a star shaped castle in Puerto Rico
called Fort San Felipe del Morro in 1587: a good 300 years after these Welsh castles.
DVD Review: Dated but good
Summary: 4 Stars
A little old fashioned, (it was made in 1983) but very informative and my children (7 and 10 ) enjoyed it.DVD Review: Excellent Resource
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent overview of castle construction in Wales using footage of castles and animation. This is a part of the excellent series by David MaCaukay. Covers some aspects of everyday life in the castle and the castle town.
