Movie Reviews of Richard Scarry's Best Sing-A-Long Mother Goose Video!
Movie Review: My daughter's favorite Richard Scarry DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
We have five of the Richard Scarry DVDs, but this one is definitely my three-year-old's favorite. (And mine!) It's also a good one to wind down before bed time, as it has a kind of bed time theme. It's Huckle the Cat's bed time, but he wants to find his friend, Lowly the Worm. Huckle drifts off to Mother Goose land in search of Lowly, where he meets many familiar characters, such as Little Bo Peep, The Kittens Who Lost Their Mittens, etc. One thing I really liked about this video is the way they got rid of some of the unsavory parts of the traditional nursery rhymes without it seeming ridiculously PC. For example, the Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe with the prolific family is a rabbit (how funny is that?) and instead of "whipping them all soundly" she "kisses them all soundly" and sends them to bed. Countless baby rabbits line up to get a bowl of broth and a good night kiss from mother. It's done so naturally that you hardly notice the nursery rhyme has been "edited." Another instance is the Four-and-Twenty Blackbirds baked in a pie. Well, they're not exactly baked in. The baker tells the blackbirds to hide in the pie to amuse Old King Cole. It makes sense, because he is a Merry Old Soul after all, and in the last scene was dancing a jig with his bubble pipe and encouraging Huckle to stay around for the fun and games in his court.
It ends with a very sweet, old-fashioned lullaby that always makes my daughter look up, no matter what else she's doing. I'd never heard it before. It starts out with the line "Sleep, baby, sleep. Thy father carts thy sheep."
I would definitely recommend this title the most out of all the Richard Scarry videos. The singing and the storyline are good quality entertainment, and definitely not annoying!
