DVD Arrives in Stores on Tuesday, May 17, 2011
The Wild Thornberrys is a great, clean cut show for kids of all ages. I'm so excited to have this whole first season on DVD for our long ride to Myrtle Beach in June. Amazingly, one show my kids both agree on every time is The Wild Thornberrys. Since receiving the 4-Disc Set, it's the only thing that's been played in our mini-van. The kids love the adventures that Eliza goes on and that she can talk to animals. She's like the cartoon version of Dr. Dolittle. The dialog is easy for kids to follow and is humorous. I love listening to the kids giggle at silly antics and talk about the dangers Eliza faces. I have to be honest, I haven't sat down and watched one of these episodes, since I'm always in the drivers seat, and like I said, the DVD's have been in the van. However I, as an adult, enjoy listening to the shows while driving down the highway. For me it's almost like listening to a book on CD. I wonder if when I actually get to watch the DVD's, the scenes will play out the way I've envisioned them while listening LOL Although I'm not sure I'd envision caterpillars crawling in noses - a scene my kids apparently thought was *hysterical* :P
