So, kissing goodbye to instilling them with ABC-quality
shows only, Barney popped up and … they haven't looked back.
It is a cheerful, fun 50-minute adventure filled with heaps
of Christmas tunes, colourful sets and an easy-to-follow plot.
Barney and his dinosaur pals, Baby Bop and BJ, take four
vomit-inducing American brats in hand to visit Santa Claus
and help with the Xmas orders. (Just how dear old Santa can
say ho, ho, ho with some of these kids is absolutely beyond
me!)
In addition, there are two storybooks - Barney's Christmas
Surprise and Barney's Wonderful Winter Day - which
Barney can read or older little ones can check out for themselves,
sing-along Christmas songs - Winter's Wonderful, Deck
the Halls, Oh Christmas Tree, Jingle Bells,
We Wish You a Merry Christmas - an interactive area
(for those with DVD players on their computers) and some previews
of new Barney material.
The images are bright and clear, with the transfer working
exceedingly well considering the multi-hued backgrounds and
the stereo sound is perfectly acceptable.
Forgive the anti-Barney stance, because this really is a
very enjoyable DVD for the littlies - this has been proven
time, after time, after time, after time - and … we'll 'fess
up … you'll probably catch adults humming along to it as well.
Conclusion: Movie 80%, Extras 80%
