It would be five stars, but...
My son and I love this video, along with the other two we purchased in this series. So what's the problem? The English subtitles are set as the default, and whenever I put the DVD in, I always have to go back to the menu and turn off the subtitles. Why do people want subtitles in English when they are immersing their children in the foreign language? It just confuses everything and it's annoying to have to turn them off all the time. Many parents who order this DVD already know French and even those who don't can figure out what is being said from context (it is not exactly Derrida, after all).

THE BEST SPANISH LEARNING VIDEO YET
I HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS SPANISH EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL(BOOKS, MUSIC, VIDEOS) AND THIS IS THE BEST SERIES I HAVE FOUND FOR TEACHING SPANISH TO MY 2 YR OLD SON(MUZZY SEEMS GOOD BUT TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO TRY). MY WIFE AND I DO NOT SPEAK SPANISH SO WE ARE ALL LEARNING. MY SON AMAZES MY FAMILY WITH THE WORDS HE KNOWS. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT HEAD START TO LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE. THE VIDEO IS ENTERTAINING AND KEEPS HIS ATTENTION FOR THE ENTIRE VIDEO. HE ASKES FOR THE VIDEO BY NAME AND WATCHES THEM OVER AND OVER. WE TRY TO LIMIT TV TIME, BUT IF HE IS GOING TO WATCH 30 MIN A DAY HE MIGHT AS WELL BE LEARNING. WE HAVE 4 OF THE 6 VIDEOES IN THE SERIES AND WILL GET THE OTHER TWO WITH TIME.

Cute but my kids were bored
I liked it but my kids both walked away from it (I have a 5 yr old and a 2 yr old). We are a spanglish household as it is, so perhaps that's why. I guess it seemed too much like an actual Spanish lesson than just watching a movie. I recommend El Perro y El Gato. They're fun and the kids don't even realize they're learning Spanish.

So disappointed.
So I purchased this video after seeing the rave reviews for it. I am a foreign language teacher myself (but in French) so I was hoping to find something to help my daughter with her Spanish. Being familiar with the Pimsleur method and seeing this was from the same family, I had high hopes. The DVD is insanely short, and doesn't teach much at all. My daughter walked away with nothing new, and was totally bored watching it. It is definitely not fit for anyone over 3 - saying it's good for up to 5 is crazy - my 5 year old was bored to tears. And frankly, I'm not sure anyone under 2.5 would be interested in watching it either - so it's just not fast paced enough nor does it provide enough information to be worthwhile. And I should mention - it is not cheap! Save your money and watch Sid the Science Kid for free on PBS in spanish instead.

My daughter loves pim
Pim was recommended to me. At first my daughter wasn't interested so I was skeptical and then 2 yrs later she loves Pim watches it and repeats the lessons constantly.

Would buy again
It was fun and my LO was interested. We don't watch it everyday, but I'm glad it's a part of our DVD collection.

Disappointing
I was very disappointed by this DVD. My 3 yr was not interested for more than 5 minutes. Also, they don't tell you what they're saying in english, making difficult for a child to figure it out.

My little one loves it!
this is amazing for young kids, my baby is trilingual and I would love it if he can learn a bunch of other languages. It is very fun to watch him repeat every word!
