Featured review
Yes, It's for Younger Children.
Why hasn't this come out on DVD? I would love to play this for the kids in my life.
Do you know how many times I've said I Don't Care over the years? Or rather sang? Too many to count. The music in this is fantastic and Carole King really did a be wonderful job writing it and performing it. It is is so nice to see something so innocent, it's not about social causes or programming children or of my their innocence, quite the opposite, it's just about good morals and teaching things like the abcs. Some people could learn a lesson from "Pierre" or "Screams and Yells".
Growing up, I am watched this so much it drove my brother's crazy. My mom rented it from the library for me and I would watch it several times a day when I was 4 or 5. I was just really into it. No the animation isn't mind-blowing, but it's cute and it's fun. The story is thin, but fun, it's really a vehicle for teaching basic life lessons and preschool level stuff.
I would happily let my kids watch this, and stuff just isn't this innocent. I'm not a huge fan of most stuff made for children, but this is one that stands the test of time in terms of children's media. It's not intended for adults, so even though I still in enjoy the songs, I think it's only fair to taste it based on how much I loved it as a child, and that was more than any other show.
