Series: INDEPENDENT FEATURE, AGES 5-8
Topic - Family
Description - For spirited nine-year-old Ociee Nash, nothing could be more exciting than romping through her beloved Mississippi countryside with her brother Ben and her faithful four-legged companion, "Woofer." However, Ociee's idyllic life is thrown into a tailspin when her Papa decides that since the death of Ociee's mother and Ociee's run-in with a mysterious Gypsy, the rough and tumble world of their rural farm is not the place for Ociee to grow up. Papa decides to send Ociee to Ashville, N.C. where her Aunt Mamie can teach her to become "a young lady." Sadly, Ociee boards the train to Asheville. Once on her way, Ociee meets an array of interesting characters, including the President of the United States, William McKinley. Ociee and Aunt Mamie quickly find there are two sides to every story. Trading in dungarees for dresses, Ociee tries her best to adjust, but is compelled to hold onto her spirited heart. Ociee befriends the proper young Elizabeth Murphy, but a trip to the creek and a meeting with young Harry Vanderbilt and the creek boys, finds Ociee and Elizabeth in over their heads. Aunt Mamie is more determined than ever that Ociee now conform to her strict standards. However, Aunt Mamie's soft heart is revealed when Ociee invites her childhood friend, Mr. Lynch, over for Sunday dinner. Ociee's true bravery, character and spirit come to the forefront when a fire at the Murphy house threatens the life of young Elizabeth Murphy. A triumphant "Ociee Nash Day" celebration ensues to everyone's delight. Starring Keith Carradine, Skyler Day and Marie Winningham.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - This is a period piece that reflects on the attitudes of the era. Ocie is definitely not the "normal" little girl from the late 1800s and for that, this story is a bit of a stretch. However, for girls of contemporary times, her story is believable and entertaining following her trevails to becoming what was accepted as a "lady."
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - Wonderful story - liked how she met famous people like Nellie Bly and the Wright Brothers. Wholesome family entertainment, strong female lead. Kids enjoyed the part when she saves the little girl from a burning horse. They noticed that Ociee had good manners

Description - When six-year old Teddy waves a magical diploma, a spaceship appears enabling him, his cousin Tempest and his dog D'Artagnan to travel in time and through space to save the rain forest.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - Presentation is just right for the targeted age group. Interesting, educational and includes good questions related to the content. Teddy has great adventures and the program is quite educational. The pace changes continually throughout the presentation making it fun and engaging. Good storyline. Production slightly amateurish. Teddy and Tempest act like typical 6-year-olds. "I loved the brain workout at the end with the other questions about the content." The animation of the animals is also well done. "I would like to see the mouths of the characters match their words." It celebrates diversity, culture, intelligence, movement and environmental consciousness. Kids will relate to the idea of traveling in a spaceship, going on a journey and exploring other "worlds." There are some scenes that might be too scary for younger kids.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - Enjoyed it. "I liked watching it because it is funny. I also learned about the rain forest." "It reminds me of Dora the Explorer." "It was like watching cartoons - fun." "Teddy has to find out about some beans and how to use them to make the world a better place - that's cool." "The rain forest looks real, and so do the animals there." "Good sounds." They enjoyed the educational aspect of the show. "I learned that we should all help to keep the rain forests."

ADVENTURES WITH WINK AND BLINK: DAY IN THE LIFE OF A ZOO!, A
LAUREL HILL ENTERTAINMENT
Series: ADVENTURES WITH WINK AND BLINK
Topic - Family
Description - Young viewers join fun pals Wink & Blink on an interactive trip to the zoo. Along the way they'll learn about lots of animals, they'll discover what it's like to be a zookeeper, and they'll even tag along with the zoo vet on a barn-yard house call.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - Enjoyable with lots of useful information and footage of zoo animals but the presentation doesn't always stay relevant for its target audience. The visuals and general content are just right for preschoolers but some of the information is too advanced for them such as the concept of carnivores, herbivores, and onmivores. Also, the magic door game where children have to find clues about a mystery animal is far too complicated for younger children.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - Liked the footage of the zoo animals. One two-year-old kept putting her hands on the floor and walking on all fours every time she say the apes or monkeys saying they walk like this. Kids wanted to watch it again immediately and pointed out their favorite animals as reasons why. The clue game with the puzzle keys was very confusing and needed explaining. The two's ignored the game completely and the older kids kept asking questions about it.
