DVD Reviews of Charlie and Lola, Vol. 1

DVD Review: Lots of good imagination play
Summary: 5 Stars

My 2 year old loves Charlie & Lola, and this did not disappoint. Great DVD, great storied, lots of wonderful imagination play. My son giggles along with Lola all the time. The one thing I would change is that the episodes have a tendency to loop and keep playing (as opposed to being able to play one at a time and have it stop at the menu).

DVD Review: So Sweet and Educational
Summary: 5 Stars

This series has kind themes, and it subtly teaches children information about all sorts of things. The siblings are loving and polite to each other as they explore the world around them. They are also entertaining and funny in a light, quirky way. The show fosters love between siblings and an openness to new things, like tomatoes or spiders, even if you thought you didn't like them. My 2 toddler daughters adored this show from the first moment. The colors and music are soft, but happy. A bonus is that the show is not annoying or tiresome for grown-ups. I find myself pausing to enjoy it with them.

DVD Review: Good for ages 4-7
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD good for children ages 4-7 because the story is simple & meaning. My daughter likes it very much & I like the English accent.

DVD Review: A hit with my 4 year-old
Summary: 5 Stars

My daughter absolutely loves every episode on this dvd. It is great show without violence, mean words, or teaching that girls (princesses) need to be rescued. My daughter has the first three volumes as well as several of the corresponding books and does not tire of either. I strongly suggest also the Charlie and Lola books - the illustrations are unique and top-notch, just like in the video. I also suggest Lauren Child's "Princess and the Pea" book which I thought was wonderful. I like her other books but they are still a little too old for my daughter who just turned four.

Some of the episodes teach useful lessons (especially concerning getting along with others) in a fun way, and other episodes are just fun. I like that the kids entertain themselves with their imagination and that the shows are sweet without being too sweet.

DVD Review: Loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars

It's interesting, visually stimulating and adorable! I think I enjoy watching Charlie & Lola as much as my 3-year-old! I fully intend to purchase additional C&L DVD's for furthur entertainment and enjoyment! Every episode deals with different scenarios that kids can relate to; picky eating, learning responsibility, exercising the imagination, etc.
I highly recommend it. :)

Description of Charlie and Lola, Vol. 1

Charlie has this little sister Lola. She is small and very funny. Lola will NEVER eat a tomato! She is also not sleepy and will not go to bed. And how will she cope when she is not well and may never smile again? It falls to Charlie to win her around, and he uses every trick in the book ? logic, humor, but mostly, the power of his imagination. Using 2D cel animation, paper cutout, fabric design, photomontage and archive footage, all the distinctive style and exuberance of Lauren Childs award-winning picture books come to life. Glorious music and sound effects help to conjure up fantastical worlds that only a child could invent, while realistic dialogue, voiced by children, ensures these magical adventures really resonate with kids.

Charlie and his spirited little sister Lola are the best of friends and, like most siblings, the pair must employ a little ingenuity and a whole lot of creativity to maintain a healthy sibling relationship while conquering their individual problems and fears. When Charlie's Mum solicits Charlie's help getting Lola to eat her dinner in "I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato," Charlie must call on his creativity to convince his extremely picky sister to eat her peas, potatoes, fish fingers and tomatoes. Lola gets a chance to see what being responsible for a dog is like in "We Do Promise Honestly We Can Look After Your Dog" and Charlie joins forces with Lola's invisible playmate Soren Lorenson to help Lola conquer her separation anxiety in "I Love Going To Granny and Grandpa's It's Just That. . . . " Other predicaments visited include keeping a secret, being sick in bed with a cold, a fear of spiders, and cooperative play. Based on the Charlie and Lola books by Lauren Child, this 84-minute compilation of BBC programs features simple images, universal themes, a delightful smattering of British pronunciations and colloquialisms, and bonus features that include English subtitles, an interactive jigsaw puzzle, outtakes, and several hidden video snippets.
