Summary: 3 Stars
Our 2-year-old daughter loves the Stellaluna story from the book and has read it more times than we can ever count. I got the stuffed toy for her before I got this DVD. All of these things feed upon each other, by the way.
The first time I showed the DVD to my daughter Sarah she got up and left when the first song came up, sung by Stellaluna. So, after about 10 minutes she was done with it. But then something happened - she got hooked. We had to limit her to one viewing a day because she would rather watch the DVD than eat breakfast.
Understand that she never watches any TV at all, zero. So, this is a huge video treat for her. I will give some credit to the video for the appearance of the parrots, who are more entertaining than most things that appear, and to the general storyline which is kid-friendly. However, the video does hugely divert from the way the book reads, with new characters and new storylines that have been adapted generously from the book. It's not a true rendition of the book at all - but if you know that going into it, the surprise factor goes away.
Back to our daughter - she loves it, even though she knew the book by heart before she ever saw the DVD. She even loves the spider character (not in the book) which I loathe, but to her he is awesome.
There are some lines in song that are pretty horrid. "Gastronomically lame" and feeding bugs "by the pound" come to mind - the "by the pound" statement is forced to find something to rhyme with "upside down" which Stellaluna is, no matter which way she orients herself. Ug - no professionals came up with that song. The Parrots' song is much better, later on.
All in all the video is pretty harmless and any kid that loves the Stellaluna story will probably get a kick out of it. For parents, it is a bit of an adjustment (!) but is certainly not harmful. The fashion makeover that the parrots perform is pretty fun, I must admit.
