DVD Reviews of Sagwa - Sagwa's Storybook World

DVD Review: A Mom's Thoughts...
Summary: 5 Stars

My daughters, aged 5 and 2, both like to watch Sagwa. My 2-year-old especially loves Sagwa (we have a cat with similar coloring to Sagwa) and we decided to make her birthday party Sagwa themed. The shows are unique, creative, and enjoyable...and appeal to a wider audience than apparently was intended.

DVD Review: This is one of the best DVDs ever!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I am 14 years old and I love Sagwa! Anyway, this DVD has some really good episodes and an interactive quiz! I would reccomend this DVD to any Sagwa fan!

DVD Review: Great Animation and Show
Summary: 5 Stars

My child who is 12 believe it or not even enjoys this show (aimed for younger children). It has very cute kittens, FANTASTIC animation for children, morals, chinese culture, and adventure! I suggest any Sagwa product for children!

DVD Review: Enjoyable for Kids.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a good childrens show to watch. it teaches you many lessons while you follow Sagwa's many adventures. The show teaches you many Chinese traditions which I think is fantastic. If I were a parent this would be one childrens show I would have my kids watch. The DVD is great. You will enjoy the many adventures of Sagwa.

Description of Sagwa - Sagwa's Storybook World

Sagwa's always looking for excitement, and in these six adventures, she finds it. Watch Sagwa explore a cave filled with ancient treasures, and learn that you don't have to leave home to have fun. Sagwa and her friends also learn that hard work, self-confidence and determination pay off.

A single DVD contains two full-length programs:
Cat Nights, Flights, and Delights
Inspired by prize-winning author Amy Tan's children's book, Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat, this PBS offering features the adventures of the young Sagwa (approximately 8-years-old in human years) and her siblings, both in their Chinese palace home and on the streets of their city. "Firefly Nights" finds an "almost grown-up" Dong following Dad to see pyrotechnics the cats mistakenly take for glorious insects. Changing bad luck into good luck is the theme of "Fu-Fu's Full Moon Flight," in which a bat with poor echolocation saves Sagwa and his self-confidence. In "Shei-Hu's Secret," a trusting mouse shares his friends' hideaway with Sagwa, but her urge to brag puts them all in danger. Each 11-minute segment is followed by a minidocumentary on relevant topics like tai chi. PBS considers this a show for ages 5 to 8, but feline-loving preschoolers will enjoy it, too. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Feline Frenzy
Sagwa, her parents, her brother, and her sisters are expert calligraphers who serve the magistrate, but still find plenty of time for fun and adventure. In "Explorer's Club," Sagwa's brother Dongwa belongs to a Gamester's Club that refuses to include Sagwa in its membership. Sagwa forms her own Explorer's Club and excludes Dongwa, but a perilous situation soon necessitates that the rivals work together. In "Treasure Hunters," teamwork and quick thinking yield rich results, and in "Sick Day," Sagwa and Dongwa discover the joy of imagination and storytelling while the rest of the palace learns the power of cooperation. Brief interviews with children from around the world punctuate the episodes, offering a glimpse of a variety of cultures. Sagwa is a wholesome, entertaining series from PBS that encourages curiosity, cooperation, and an appreciation of different cultures. --Tami Horiuchi
