Movie Reviews of MOZART'S The Magic Flute Story: An Opera Fantasy
Movie Review: Kids love it
Summary: 5 Stars
I can see what the other reviewers are saying about this DVDs weaknesses, but I am giving it 5 starts because my two kids (4-almost-5 and 2-almost-3) really love it. The first time they watched it I had to keep pausing it to answer questions but they really found it very gripping. My son was on the edge of his seat and it had just the right amount of intrigue to keep him excited but not scared. Now that they've been introduced to it I'm going to follow up by getting the fairy tale book version by Kyra Teis and a full length DVD.
