 Multicultural drivel October 28, 2009

Want to sum up this DVD in one sentence? How about "Let's indoctrinate little American kids into believing Caucasian kids don't even EXIST and every playgroup is one big happy stew of Indians, Japanese, Latinos, Iranians, Africans, and 7 other semi-brown kids picked at random."
And unless you speak with an accent, you are NOT cool. If you don't inject a foreign language phrase or word into every other sentence, you are NOT cool. If you don't find a way to praise a non-American culture each time you speak up, you are NOT cool.
I fully expected any second for all the kids to get up on a hill, hold hands, and praise Coca-Cola.
A completely nauseating production that is almost guaranteed to make any kid of European ancestry feel odd and left out.
Only reason I gave it 2 stars was because my kids stayed perplexed just long enough to watch it, so it saved me $5 on babysitting.
 Wonderfully Fun and Engaging January 13, 2009

We don't let our four year old watch too much television. When I heard about The Global Wonders DVDs I was excited to let him watch these videos because they celebrate diversity and cultural awareness. The Global Wonders series currently features four DVD s that are aimed at children. They currently have "Around the World," "Mexico," "India," and "African-American." Created by the former Executive Producer for Disney's "Baby Einstein", the videos opens children s eyes and ears to the worlds of various cultures through food, playing games, vocabulary and traditions.

My 4 year old loves the movie, and we can't wait to purchase more in the series. However, the wondervision feature will not function for us, we have tried on 4 dvd players, and the picture freezes while the kaleidoscope is on, but nothing happens, the movie resumes playing normally. Anyone else have this issue, or is it isolated to my new copy?
Great video October 22, 2008

Great video! It's entertaining and educational, so I have no problem with my daughter watching it as many times as she wants. Highly recommended.

My four year old daughter loves this series. Like most four year old girls, she can be very picky (about everything!) and this is her hands down favorite things to watch. While being very entertaining (some of the Baby and Little Einstein people are the creative forces behind this), this is also a great educational experience. Our daughter has asked us to learn more about some of the themes touched on in this series. Overall, this is very highly recommended.
