Schoolhouse Rock - Earth [DVD]

It was great when I was a kid in the 70s, and it's just as great for my grandkids.

My kids loved this when they were little, but we lost our copy in a fire. I bought them a new one now at 12 and they still love it!

Not very much learning going on. Just a bunch of activist music videos. When I was younger I actually remember learning things about the earth, such as the layers of the earth. This doesn't have that. Its more about global warming.

Not like the original schoolhouse of rock. Bought this for srudents. Watched it. Decided nevermind.

Those of you like me, who grew up in the 70's, watching Saturday morning tv, know the original School House Rock. These are part of Pop culture, an icon of the 70's and early 80's. When I saw this new SHR EARTH, it intrigued me, so I bought it. I was quite surprized when I watched it. The songs were very catchy,and the animation was great. I was glad to see that alot of the original writers, producers, singers, etc had a part in the new segments. Are the new SHR cartoons preachy, well some I guess, but hey, its for a new generation now. We grew up on the originals, and they will always be near and dear to my heart, but the new SHR is for a new generation, its a new world. Its not the 70's or 80's anymore. Lets give the new SHR a chance, and say thank you to the original people who have brought us SHR over the years, back then, and now..

I chose this rating because if you're old enough to remember the original series and you want to show your kids or possibly grandkids what entertaining education is about then DVD is a must.It has the elements of what made the original series the landmark series it became,now it tackles how to take care of the environment with new videos plus the classic "Energy Blues" which is relevant now some 36 years later.Which goes to show you the skill and talent these people have in telling a story,and keeping your informed in a short period of time. So Out of all that I definitely recommend it.

Bought this DVD for each set of grandkids. (3) Safe and encouraged viewing over and over again. Great for all ages. I also bought the Schoolhouse Rock! 30th Anniversary Edition. They love all of the songs and animation. They don't even realize they are learning, just watching cartoons! I will be sure they also have these DVDs before the first snow day! Donald in Mathmagic Land, The Phantom Tollbooth, The Snowman, and The Best of The Best of The Electric Company. And for their listening pleasure, a CD of the Orchestra story Peter and the Wolf. All classics for education and entertainment.

Great way for my 3 year old to learn about the world around her. She is already knowledgeable about not biting her friends and that she needs to invite veggies to the party in her tummy, courtesy of all things Gabba. This is full of songs that are entertaining and educational all at once. Good buy. It's weird that I immediately started singing along and I haven't heard these songs in over 30 years. That is a testament on how this series grows on children.

Have this to my son for his 4th birthday and he LOVES it. The songs are fun, educational and they get him moving.

My husband, who is a die-hard School House Rock fan, said the songs weren't as catchy as the originals. My two year old daughter was singing the songs around the house and now for the last three days my husband has been singing too! The message is good and the kids (ages 2 & 6) love it...and so do I.

Great DVD

Great memories love it.

Great
