Especially good for kids with auditory sensory issues.
Great DVD. Especially good for kids with sensory issues, as the auditory is less invasive than most kid DVDs. Highly recommend.

Classic still great for today's kids
I was actually surprised how much my kids really like to watch this one. I'm always on the lookout for good quality, calming videos. This is a great one!

Had to get it again for my grown daughter since she really liked it as a child. She appreciated getting it for her collection.

three Harold and three bonus cartoons
This dvd will be nice for any little Harold and the Purple Crayon fans in your home. There are three Harold cartoons: Harold and the Purple Crayon, A Picture for Harold's Room, and Harold's Fairy Tale. Each has a male narrator (not Sharon Stone) and runs an average of 7 minutes.There are also three bonus animations, produced by the same company but not by Harold author Crockett Johnson. The longest is 9 minutes, The Mysterious Tadpole by Steven Kellogg, about a boy's unusual birthday gift from his Scottish uncle. Drummer Hoff, by Barbara and Ed Emberley, runs 4-1/2 minutes and is a poem about a military group firing off a cannon. Smile for Auntie, by Diane Paterson and running 5 minutes, is about an aunt trying desperately to make her baby nephew smile.Each of the six cartoons can be run with English subtitles. This dvd is not fancy or loaded with extras, and the animation is primitive by adult standards, but small children will really enjoy these simple and amusing tales.

Boring
1970's graphics! A disappointment! The newer versions are wonderful.

Harold Always a Hit!
Grandkids loved it--the four year and seven year olds. Harold stories are timeless and ageless.

Classic
Although the animation in the DVD was simple, I think it captured perfectly the simplicity of the illustrations in the books. I felt that the narration was great, too. The quality of the picture isn't as crisp as one would hope for with a DVD nowadays, but I don't feel that it took away from the experience. The simplicity gives it a timeless quality.
