Love it [Posted on 2007-07-12] Maisy is just our little boys favourite dvd - it can even be chosen above Thomas! Simple animation. Fun characters. Good clean fun.
Ugh, terrible...!! [Posted on 2007-08-08] We like the "Maisy" books -- good, simple, colorful stories, not a lot of intellectual heft. But good golly, these animated shorts are just terrible!!! The narrator sounds completely bored (and secretly contemptuous of the material) and the character voices consist mainly of moronic giggle-babbles that sound a lot like the TeleTubbies. It's really insulting to the intelligence of even the youngest viewers. Plus, the age group that this is suited to developmentally (one-year olds) shouldn't be watching videos anyway: recent studies suggest that watching TV -- any kind of TV -- in the first two years of life holds back language development and shortens attention span. This video is not worth the risk. (Axton)
We love it [Posted on 2007-08-20] I am German and my husband is American. Since we live in Germany we needed something to improve our daughters (2 years) English and since she loves Maisy we got this DVD. The voice of the narrator is very pleasant, the stories are funny and entertaining. Our daughter gets scared really easy (we got her a Baby Einstein - the one with the farm animals and she refuses to watch it because of the real life cows), but Maisy is absolutely save. Nothing bad happens, nobody gets hurt, little problems get solved right away - just the right thing for a toddler. Even so we watch two or three of the little episodes every night with our little girl, my husband and me are not tired of it yet. If you have a Maisy fan in your house this is a must have!
Like all the other customers we also hate the fact that you have to fast forward the commercial at the beginning and I was thinking about deducting a star because of it. But the Maisy part of the DVD is wonderful so we did not.
LOVED IT [Posted on 2007-11-16] We couldnt figure out if Maisy was a female or male. Regardless, my daughter LOVES Maisy and all the character friends. CUTE for pre-schoolers and younger children.
sweet, great for little kids [Posted on 2008-07-16] THis is a gentle video series with some nice songs. My daughter and sons have loved it.
OK, one problem. Something about the way the alligator is drawn against certain backgrounds occasionally make his teeth look like they are covered in red. A little accidental gory image for a nice kids video. Fortunately, he is a minor character in few of the shows.
