Movie Reviews of Disney's Sing Along Songs - Beach Party at Walt Disney WorldMovie Review: This video is good... TOO good! Summary: 5 Stars
Our 22-month old is OBSESSED with this video. Like, if there was a Mickeyholics Anonymous she'd be going there. At first I thought it's because she hasn't watched TV until recently. But she doesn't care about any other film -- not Barney, Sesame Street, Dora, Thomas, the Wiggles, LeapFrog, kiddie movies, Mickey Clubhouse or even another Disney sing-along, "Disneyland Fun" (which a lot of reviewers have recommended over this one). Once in a while she'll be ok with Elmo instead, but if there were no Elmo she wouldn't miss it. She just wants this one. ALL THE TIME. As soon as we get home, she says "Mockey?" once a second. Of course we don't let her watch it all the time, so quite a few conflicts arise there.
So on the one hand, this video is GREAT at doing what it's supposed to do: entertain children. If you want your child rooted in place so you're free to do other things, this video is great for that! Our 4-year old neighbor next door was also fixated by this video when she was visiting, so the target age range is pretty wide.
On the other hand, it can potentially drive parents crazy (we have all the songs from this BURNED into our brains) and turn children into crazed Mickeyholics! I am a huge Disney movies and resorts fan, but even I can't sit through this whole video and remain sane. I can watch little bits here and there. It's definitely targeted at kids under 10.
Oh, by the way, if you're a fan of Disney's "The Little Mermaid" like I am, you'll be interested to know that Jodi Benson, who provided the voice of Ariel for the movie, makes an appearance as Ariel for this video in the "Part of Your World" segment. Pretty neat!
UPDATE, 1 month later... She has expanded her tastes to include Barney, Sesame Street and Dora. And she actually prefers them over this sometimes. So I guess the obsession was not long-lived, thankfully!
UPDATE - 7/2/10 - She finally got tired of watching this. I rented Sing Along Songs - Campout at Walt Disney World and she loves it just as much. She also really likes Sing Along Songs - Flik's Musical Adventure. She did not like Sing Along Songs - Disneyland Fun and neither did I (I wrote a review on it if you want to know why).
