Movie Reviews of Linnea in Monet's Garden
Movie Review: charming video
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a charming and instructive video, maybe most enjoyed by a young girl. It does, however, contain good, general information about Monet and Impressionism, and for that reason might also be enjoyed by an elementary age class. While most of the video is animation, when Linnea enters the home and the garden and sees the flowers, it "transforms" into real photos; the change is startling and really captures the beauty of the scenes. The slow paced and gentle tone are perfect for children and for the subject.Movie Review: You'll have to be an artist to appreciate this.
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this video for my two young daughters (1-1/2, and 4) based on all the positive 5 star reviews I read, but unfortunately, I don't share the same enthusiasm for this video. If your kids grew up with Barney, Elmo, and Sesame Street, and Disney videos, this video is probably not for them. The animation is low budget, and there is nothing captivating about the video. No songs, no dance, no action...just dialog between the girl and the older man. Unless you appreciate art or know who Monet is, this is not the kind of video that you or your child would appreciate. This video is more educational than entertaining. Compared to all the other children's videos that my kids have seen, this one is downright boring.
