DVD review

Wile E Coyote
This post should really be Wile E Coyote's best bits. In terms of number of watches over the past 6 months, that crazy coyote wins hands down.  Despite the fact that we see it so often, I still laugh at most of his calamities.  We particularly like sitting on the settee together and giggling along with the explosions and crashes.  I like to think that she enjoys his inventiveness, whereas I just enjoy seeing the laws of physics being bent so far they snap.  Or twang, usually.  

Marisca score 10, Daddy score 10

The best of The Wiggles
Singing, dancing, fruit salad making Australian pop group.  Keep watching long enough and you get to see Kylie and Leo Sayer strutting their stuff too.  Marisca has recently learned to properly dance along, and particularly likes 'the one with the elephant'.  The dressing up song is not quite long enough to dress up in, and 'play your guitar with Murray' always prompts running to the other room to find Elspeth's ukulele.  Cute.

Marisca score 10, Daddy score rising each time I watch it, started about 3 but up around 8 now

Totoro & Kiki's Delivery Service
Two films from Mayazaki.  I'm not sure if they are edge signed for three year olds but they're well liked. Each one comes with an exhortation to start at the beginning.  Totoro is particularly popular, with cries of glee when either baby totoro, middle sized totoro, or big huge totoro enter the fray.  She even manages to avoid being traumatised by the catbus which is impressive.  Only suitable for a long DVD session.

Marisca score 9, Daddy score 10

Wacky Races, Tom & Jerry
Disappointing.

Marisca score 3, Daddy score 2

The complete Flumps
Flumplastic!  Clever marketing here, by using the made-up word 'flumptastic' nobody can argue with it.  Elspeth and I enjoyed it, I don't think Marisca has ever seen it.

Marisca score N/A, Daddy score 7

Other DVDs are available.
