Movie Reviews of The Big Aircraft Carrier
Movie Review: Big Interest in Big Aircraft Carrier!
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this as one of our son's third birthday presents as he is currently into all things aircraft - and he LOVES it. It is produced in a very easily-digestible kid format with title screens in multi colors and things explained very well in easy terms for children, with the narrator being a child herself. Although aimed at kids, it's also interesting for adults alike and gives a great insight into the goings-on on a modern day aircraft carrier. We were lucky enough to be able to time giving this to our son to watch in the car on the trip down to San Diego, with a surprise visit to the USS Midway aircraft carrier museum based there - safe to say he was in heaven! Thoroughly recommended.
Summary of The Big Aircraft Carrier
This kid's-eye tour of the largest ship in the U.S. Navy invites the viewer into a small airplane on land, takes them on a brief flight, through a landing on the U.S.S. Nimitz and through takeoff again. Along the way, there's a tour of the ship--the largest afloat on earth--from hospital to barbershop to library. Viewers get to watch future pilots go through water-survival training, parachute-landing practice, and escape from a dunker--a cage that simulates a helicopter crashed into the water. Much of the 40-minute tour is ideal for kids, such as the fact that the naval personnel wear different-colored shirts that identify their jobs--yellow shirts direct the planes, purple shirts refuel, etc. The video simplifies more difficult information by comparing it to what kids know: the aircraft carrier weighs more than 15,000 school buses. While most of the aircraft carrier's 6,000 residents appear to be male, both a male pilot and a female pilot talk about their job on camera, giving girls a nice incentive to watch. --Kimberly HeinrichsSimilar DVD Movies
