This compilation has six of the best, from the adventurous Dora the Explorer to the imaginative Backyardigans to the rescuers known as The Wonder Pets to the precocious-tyke-with-the-winning-laugh, Little Bill. The appealing animation - each is distinctive in its own way - to the lessons learned, the six respective shows provide entertainment as well as educational value that can be appreciated by young and old alike. None of the shows are condescending to little kids, respecting them for the blossoming intelligence that is present in young minds. The set comes highly recommended, as do the daily showings of the shows on the network(s). ![]() Last Picture Show & Nickelodeon (2-pack) $24.96 Note: This review only references "Nickelodeon". Any film that casts '70s superstars Burt Reynolds and Ryan O'Neal with sharp character actors like Brian Keith, Stella Stevens and, to a lesser extent, Tatum O'Neal should have been a bonifide bonanza right? Wrong. "Nickelodeon" is one of the most inept, misguided debacles ever created by a renowned director (in this case, Peter Bogdonavich). This labored ordeal ostensibly concerns a troup of filmmakers at the dawn of cinema in 1910. In reality, it's a muddle of clumsy, drawn out slapstick set-pieces and cornball hijinx of the TV variety show type that is poorly directed and ineptly scripted. Cardboard characters mug and shriek through their repetitive steps without evincing one moment of interest. And the cast is uniformly dreadful. Burt Reynolds does his tired "wink-wink-I'm-laughing-at-myself" shtick and Tatum O'Neal simply regurgitates her sandpaper-voiced brat from "Paper Moon". Ryan O'Neal, who's displayed a flair for comedy elsewhere, couldn't be more over-the-top if he were being electrocuted. Brian Keith and Stella Stevens are utterly wasted in underwritten roles that still manage to irritate. But then, nobody makes it out alive in this would be yukfest. Don't be fooled: this is no long lost classic. It deserved its boxoffice failure in 1976 and it remains a perfect example of a film being substantially less than the sum of its parts. Walk on by. |
