DVD Reviews of Ralph S. Mouse and More Exciting Animal Adventure Stories (Scholastic Video Collection)

DVD Review: Not worthy of the series...
Summary: 1 Stars

We are BIG fans of the Scholastic Video Collection. Most of the stories are based on the very best books for kids, and the videos reflect well the tenor and charm of the stories and characters. Not so with this one! We were, frankly, appalled by the Ralph S. Mouse video--- the adult and child actors alike were forced to embrace ugly, selfish traits, ones that were largely absent from the Cleary stories. Ralph is, in this video, whiny and unpleasant, and voiced with a lack of understanding for the character so complete that he is even bratty and ungenerous to "Ryan", his friend and savior in the series. Why was this necessary?!?! Ralph is spirited and a little scampy in the books, but certainly not ungenerous and peevish, as he is characterized here. Most of the adults in this video speak to one another, and to children, with such a consistency of disrespect and stridency, one must assume they were directed to do so... but, again, for what purpose? So what can my children learn from seeing this? Ugh! Badly done, Scholastic! The other two stories are fine, certainly not representative of this company's best efforts, but not horrible... but, sadly, the bulk of the time on this dvd is devoted to Ralph. Look to the other Scholastic videos--- Chrysanthemum, and Pete's A Pizza are two of the best, IMO--- if you want true representations of the books and characters your kids, and you, love.
