Peter and the Wolf
$19.98
Downside: as observed in some one star reviews, this version scrimps on Prokofiev's music, which is odd, because the music is so ingenious, characterful, humorous, and charming. The rest is all upside: each of those adjectives also applies to the visual and story-book aspects of this Suzie Templeton version of Peter and the Wolf - and even if the fates of the duck and the wolf come out a little differently I couldn't bring myself to become Upset about it - but just enjoyed the "alternate ending". This movie made me laugh, but adults need to step back and try to view a little movie such as this from a child's perspective. Suzie Templeton has created an entertainment and a narrative that is deep and involving for a child. It stimulates their creativity, and involves them emotionally. It sensitively deals with a reality that is hopefully more brutal than what most of our children are experiencing, and shows a child overcoming adversity. Its only a million times better to have your child watch this than "Power Rangers" and occasionally children do need to take a few minutes break from videogames. If you think Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle, Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and Henson's Mirrormask are great (although made with very different techniques), then you will probably also like Peter and the Wolf. Children's movies that are good for their little sould are too few and far between. On the musical side, I suggest you find the Alec Guinness - narrated CD with the Boston Pops, but there are many fine versions.

I placed my order on Nov 9th and received an email stating that I would receive it Nov 16th. Nov 16th came and no product. I tracked the package under my account and the shipment date switched to Nov 19th WITHOUT any notification to me nor explanation why. Well Nov 19th came and gone and STILL NO PRODUCT! I am very dissatisfied with the seller's performance and ability to get my ordered item to be by specified time.

sincerely,

unsatisfied customer.

Except of the beginning with the bear that scares my 2 years old, the movie is pretty good.
