DVD Reviews of Wayside - The Movie
DVD Review: Child liked it except too short.
Summary: 4 Stars
My son liked this movie. He's read the series of Wayside books by Louis Sachar and enjoyed seeing some of the characters. He kind of expected it to be just like one of the books, and it wasn't. Some characters were the same, but the story was different. DVD Review: Entertaining as a cartoon, but kind of dumb
Summary: 2 Stars
My kids and I absolutely love the Wayside School books for their highly entertaining stories and for the joyfully clever ways they play with language and storytelling. Unfortunately, very little of that comes through to the movie. Sure, the movie fits in LOTS of elements from the books, but many of them are introduced inexplicably and have little role in the story. What's missing is the zany logic that makes the books so charming. If you know the books, you may enjoy the references, but the movie itself ends up being pretty standard cartoon slapstick. My five-year-old still enjoys watching it, but I was disappointed that the special intelligence and heart of Wayside School has mostly been lost.DVD Review: Funny
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the Wayside books to my students. This short video is very funny. It had me lol at several points!DVD Review: We all love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This cartoon is so intelligently written that I actually encourage my kids to watch it (over the others) and I gladly watch it with them!DVD Review: Arrived very fast
Summary: 4 Stars
Arrived fast, great, enjoyed, but I need to take off because the movie changed so much from book, and left too much out
Description of Wayside - The Movie
An outrageous grammar school where one classroom was built on top of another - - thirty stories high! The Wayside School is an animated series that captures how kids really see the world in all its preposterous contradictory glory. Join Benjamin Nushmutt (a.k.a. Mark Miller) Todd Maurecia Kathy and Myron in a world where students are sometimes smarter than their teachers certain children always get in trouble for no good reason the substitute teacher has a third ear on the top of her head and old cafeteria food achieves strange magical powers.System Requirements:Running Time: 49 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating:?NR UPC:?097368897441 Manufacturer No:?889744Based on the hilarious Wayside novels for children by Louis Sachar, Wayside: The Movie is an animated distillation of the first wacky book in the series, with a few extra ideas thrown in. Set at the architecturally unsound Wayside school--which is 30 stories tall with a zig-zag structure and only one classroom per floor--the story begins with the arrival of a new boy, Todd, who seems only to get in trouble when trying to understand the oddball culture of the place. Sent to a science class at the very top of the building, Todd encounters a teacher who throws his desk out the window and then punishes him for wondering why. The principal seems to be in love with his public-address system (which has the unfortunate effect of making the walls close in whenever he uses it), the friendly janitor needs a blueprint of the school to find crucial shut-off mechanisms, and there's an extremely low-ceilinged classroom where kids hurt their arms whenever raising their hands. In the midst of this madness, Todd makes some friends and draws the affectionate attention of a girl, but ultimately faces a test of his bravery and ingenuity when he has to save his science class from getting squashed. Really, one has to be there to understand. This is a delightful, short feature (49 minutes) that will appeal both to kids who have read the books and to those who haven't. --Tom Keogh
