FLIPPED
WARNER BROS. PICTURES
Series: FEATURE FILM, AGES 8-12
Description - Girl-phobic and easily embarrassed, young Bryce does everything he can to keep his outspoken wannabe girlfriend at arm's length� for the next six years. This isn't easy, since they go to the same school and live across the street from each other. This coming-of-age romantic comedy from Director Rob Reiner, takes Bryce and Juli from Grade School to Junior High, through triumph and disaster, family drama and first love, as they make the discoveries that will define who they are - and who the are to each other.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - Flipped is a movie showing how when you like a guy (or girl) make sure you see them as the whole self. A quote I loved from the movie is "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts." I do not know exactly what it means but it touched my heart. Rob Reiner (Director) really showed the viewers what Flipped means - showing the same situation from both the girl's side and the boy's side. I would recommend it to everyone that has ever had a crush. Hold on tight because Flipped is coming soon to theaters. (Lauren Boxer)

DIARY OF A WIMPY KID
TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT Click to purchase directly from the producer
Series: FEATURE FILM, AGES 8-12
Description - Based on the best-selling illustrated novel by Jeff Kinney, the film chronicles the adventures of wisecracking pre-teen Greg Heffley, who must somehow survive the scariest time of anyone's life... middle school. Convinced it's the "dumbest idea ever invented," Heffley considers junior high school a place rigged with hundreds of social landmines, not the least of which are wedgies, swirlies, bullies, lunchtime banishment of the cafeteria floor and a festering piece of cheese with nuclear cooties that he must overcome to become popular. His diary - or "journal" - chronicles his thoughts, tales of family trials and tribulations, and (would be) schoolyard triumphs.
From its origins as a series of online cartoons, Diary of a Wimpy Kid exploded onto the pop culture scene when Jeff Kinney's first novel was published in 2007. Selling over 30 million copies in print, Diary of a Wimpy Kid spent almost three years on The New York Times' children's best-seller list and has been translated into 33 languages.
From director Thor Freudenthal (Hotel for Dogs) and producer Nina Jacobson (The Game Plan), Diary of a Wimpy Kid features rising stars Zachary Gordon (National Treasure: Book of Secrets), Robert Capron (Bride Wars) and Rachael Harris (The Hangover), as well as Steve Zahn ("Treme").

PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF

PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF
TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT Click to purchase directly from the producer
Series: FEATURE FILM, AGES 8-18
Description - Modern and mythical worlds collide in a heroic epic adventure in Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief . Based on the popular book series by Rick Riordan, the film follows trouble-prone Percy Jackson who finds himself having problems in high school� but that's the least of his challenges. It's the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus have walked out of the pages of his Greek mythology texts and into his life, and they're not happy � Zeus' lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Learning he is the son of Poseidon, the young teen finds himself caught between angry and battling gods, and embarks on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves. Directed by Chris Columbus (Harry Potter films), starring Logan Lerman ("Jack & Bobby"), Rosario Dawson (Seven Pounds), Steve Coogan (Night At The Museum films), Uma Thurman (Kill Bill films), Pierce Brosnan (The Thomas Crown Affair, James Bond films), Catherine Keener (Where The Wild Things Are), and Kevin McKidd ("Grey's Anatomy").
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - The ancient gods meet the modern world as Zeus accuses a young demi -god of stealing his lightning bolt. Never knowing he was part god, Poseidon's son, Percy, is suddenly thrust into another world where he has exceptional powers, and must enter the depths of Hades to prevent a war among the gods. This film is particularly appealing because it clues a viewer in to the inner workings of Greek mythology, yet ties the mythology into the modern world. Not only is the story and imagery captivating, but it also promotes a strong sense of family bonds in a very realistic way. Percy feels like his father abandoned him, and we see the relationship develop between father and son as the plot-line develops and Percy discovers that his father never abandoned him. Although gods couldn't be with their children after birth, the father was always in Percy's mind, helping him when he needed help. There is a poignant scene near the end where father and son come face-to-face and have a realistic confrontation. The cinematography is so crisp, smooth and detailed that some of the evil characters were almost too scary for young viewers. Hades, in his god-form, is particularly scary, and the snakes that surrounded Medusa's head seem incredibly lifelike. While this might make the film inappropriate for younger viewers, these aspects are part of what made the film such a success with the teen and tween audience. The adventurous story shows how a common, somewhat dorky boy, can find something special within himself. It took his dyslexic and ADHD tendencies, and turned them into powerful weapons against the enemy. It's a good message for viewers, seeing how things that can be perceived as negative attributes can be really be used as strengths.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - Viewers who watch this film might become inspired to learn more about Greek mythology. Children who watched it were discussing stories they knew from childhood even as the credits rolled. They started discussing what it would be like, and how they would act, if they were the young heroes in the film. A 17-year-old girl viewing the film was excited about the reminder of the stories she loved in her youth. The 10- and 13-year-old boys loved the sword fighting and special effects. A 16-year-old boy summed it up: "The visuals were stunning, and the music was fit for the story. I loved the models and animation with the monsters like the Hydra. It actually looked realistic. The only thing I didn't like about this movie is that the story was extremely predictable (a point the younger children disagreed with). I was able to call out what was going to happen dozens of minutes before it happened, such as needing the 4th pearl to bring his mother and his friends back (the other kids did notice this, also, but it added to the drama for them and made them feel smart). I was also able to predict who would stay in Hades." This film is one our family unanimously voted to keep in our own personal DVD library. It was too good to watch just one time.

SESAME STREET: ABBY IN WONDERLAND (2010)
SESAME WORKSHOP Click to purchase directly from the producer
Series: SHORT, AGES 2-5
Description - "Alice in Wonderland" takes on a new twist in this Sesame Street version where familiar characters take on characters based on the book with silly names like "Cheshire Cookie Cat" and tea is taken literally as the letter "T".
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - The DVD is full of great songs that invite singing along, rich visuals and seamless puppetry. Children are reminded that they have control over their own stories. This video will charm even the most serious adult while offering up lessons for preschoolers that make great use of humor just right for a young audience. Our kids jurors who watched it were quite enchanted. They loved the strange characters, from the counting caterpillar to the hatter who was mad and then sad. They thought it as quite cool that Abby could change size by rhyming. Most important, they liked seeing their Sesame Street friends acting in another kind of story where they were different people. Overall, thumbs up - fun video.

HACHI: A DOG'S TALE
SONY PICTURES
Series: FEATURE FILM, AGES 12-18
Description - The American remake of "Hachiko Monogatari" (1987) tells a story inspired by the true story Hachiko, an Akita dog who lived from 1923-1935.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - This film reaches into the deepest sentiment of your heart. The tale is simple, demonstrating love in its many forms. We see the love between a long term marriage, love between a daughter and father, love between master and dog, love between dog and daughter and ultimately, the love between dog and town. Be prepared with some tissues because this is a true tear-jerker. Cate (Joan Allen) and Professor Parker Wilson (Richard Gere) connect with viewers in their realistic portrayal of marriage. Cate isn't happy when Parker brings a stray dog home one day, and Parker attempts to find the Akita a new home out of respect for Cate. Because of their love for each other, they find a solution for the dog dilemma, which turns into a blessing in the long run. This is not Hollywood fiction, it is based on a true story that resonates on a different level. It is an extremely well-produced story with brilliant cinematography that will touch every dog-lover's soul. One of our student viewers commented, "It you didn't like "Marley and Me," you might find this too sad. My favorite part was when the person said Hachi would never learn to play catch with anyone, and the man taught him how to play catch.

AVATAR
TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT Click to purchase directly from the producer
Series: FEATURE FILM, AGES 12-18, ANIMATION
Description - This almost three-hour epic is considered by many as the most beautiful movie ever produced thanks to its groundbreaking 3-D and graphics technology. Set in the far future, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), travels to Pandora, a lush, jungle-covered extraterrestrial moon and home to a sentient humanoid race, the Na'vi. The 10-foot tall, blue-skinned Na'vi fight when a human corporation attempts to remove the indigenous people from their native lands. Human scientists create genetically-bred human-Na'vi hybrids known as Avatars to infiltrate the locals and discover their secrets. Jake participates in this program and encounters many dangers and beauties on Pandora as he scouts around.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - Our youth viewers commented, "One of my all-time favorite parts of the film is when Jake is walking through the forest of Pandora - everything lights up and looks amazing." The movie has a fabulous soundtrack and somewhat of a new age feel that invites you into a new world. Somehow, the world of Pandora seems real and draws you in. You want to be part of that world. All in all, one of the best movies we have ever seen.

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE
WARNER HOME VIDEO
Series: FEATURE FILM, AGES 8-12
Description - Maurice Sendak's book comes to life with lush cinematography and incredible puppetry. Things aren't going so well in young Max's life so he runs away, and his imagination takes him to the land where the wild things are. In this land, Max claims to be a king so he won't get eaten, and the wild things look to him for leadership. While being king can be lots of fun, Max learns that being responsible for everyone isn't so great, especially when his subjects get hurt by his own poor choices.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - It's an unsettling tale about a boy who deals with the hardships in life by throwing severe tantrums. Some child viewers immediately connected with Max, and saw how his dealing with the tantrums of Carol, one of the wild things, showed how anger and lashing out wasn't the way to deal with life's problems. For our young viewers, their favorite part was when the wild thing got angry and he punched the chicken's arm off and sand came out. But, the chicken didn't care. He just said, "Oh, that was my favorite arm!"

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE: THE BERRYFEST PRINCESS MOVIE
TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT Click to purchase directly from the producer
Series: FEATURE FILM, AGES 5-8, ANIMATION
Description - Democracy hits Berryland as Strawberry Shortcake and Orange Blossom compete to become the Berryfest Princess. At first the town is divided by the friendly competition. But then, Strawberry and her friends learn that competing for a title doesn't mean that people have to pick favorites.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - The election is set so everyone can vote for the contestants based on the different opinions expressed in their speeches. Everyone can remain friends. Then the plot takes a twist. As Strawberry gets ready for the celebratory parade, she learns that being a leader isn't all it's cracked up to be. She and her friends are overwhelmed and starting to treat each other poorly. Not only do we see how the election process works - from campaigning to advertising and speech-making - but we also see how everyone can celebrate each other's best qualities and support each other, even when times are tough. Our youth viewers felt the movie appealed more to girls than boys because "it's got girly stuff in it and all the people are girls except for one guy."

ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: THE SQUEAKQUEL
TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM CORPORATION
Series: FEATURE FILM, AGES 5-12 ANIMATION
Description - AAAAlllllvvvviiiin, Simon and Theodore are back in town, and this time they have some competition. The Chipettes! As the brothers get used to school life and try to get over the betrayal of their former agent, Ian, they discover that Ian is up to his old tricks with the Chipettes. It's up to Alvin, Simon and Theodore to help the girls. That's not easy to do when the girls just think they are just jealous. It also doesn't help that the brothers aren't getting along as well as they usually do. In the end they are reminded that there is nothing as great as true brotherly love.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - With catchy tunes and darling animation, the chipmunks will steal your heart and have you singing along as you are reminded about the power of love. Some viewers might not appreciate the potty humor. But, the storyline was good and holds the interest of both kids and adults. Our younger viewers laughed and commented that it was like their everyday life being on film, and parents were able to see it, too. The music is great. Kids liked hearing the songs they normally listen to re-done with chipmunk voices.

THOMAS & FRIENDS: THE RUNAWAY KITE
HIT ENTERTAINMENT - TX
Series: SHORT AGES 2-5, ANIMATION
Description - Through simple stories, kids learn about trains and also learn life lessons such as the idea that sometimes you can benefit from the help of friends.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - The great thing about Thomas is that he sometimes makes poor decisions which preschoolers can relate to, such as the time he was so interested in finding the perfect gift that he forgot to invite friends to Hiro's party. He admits when he is wrong and corrects his "silly" behavior. The slow pace of the stories makes viewers feel as if they are seeing a book come to life. Thomas is a pleasure to view. It's fun seeing some live action mixed in with the cartoons like when an engineer introduces the episodes and takes care of Sir Topham Hat's mother's bird. Our preschool viewers love Thomas. They love the trains. They love all the different characters, each with its own personality and job to do. They like seeing how all the trains work together to help solve problems. The music is catchy and many of our kids hummed along.

SESAME STREET: LOVE THE EARTH
WARNER HOME VIDEO
Series: SHORT, AGES 2-5
Description - Saving the earth never gets old with Elmo and his gang.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - Once again Sesame Street does a brilliant job mixing education with loads of fun. We learn why it's important not to litter and why it's best to completely use both sides of a piece of paper before throwing it away. Lots of songs and animated segments are mixed together with live action and puppetry, keeping young viewers glued to the screen. The messages of re-using and recycling are delivered in such a way that a preschooler gets it, yet the jokes appeal to an older crowd, making this DVD perfect for family viewing. Homeschoolers can use this as part of their science curriculum because children learn that they are a key factor in saving the earth. Our youth jurors enjoyed learning about recycling and how to help nature in a fun way. They love earth and like learning ways to help protect it. Their favorite part was when Elmo was leaving with his friends and said, "Bye park, bye trees, bye blue feathered swallowing swallow." They realized that the trees, swallow and park were their friends too.

COLORS ARE FUN
LIONSGATE FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT Click to purchase directly from the producer
Series: SHORT AGES 2-5, ANIMATION
Description - This DVD offers a collection of colorful shows including Barney, Bob the Builder, Thomas the Tank Engine, Fireman Sam, Kipper the Dog, Fifi and the Flowertot.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - These six quality shows offer many scenarios promoting positive social interaction and the importance of color and the knowledge of color for your preschooler. Barney's friendly lesson reminds us that colorful rainbows can come on rainy days; Bob the Builder's project lacks color; Thomas the Tank Engine illustrates the significance of colors in communicating. For example, Fireman Sam uses "especially red" as a warning message. The information included surprised even our jurors and especially our kid jurors who liked it a lot. They loved seeing favorite characters such as Bob and Thomas, all at one time. The kids sang along with the Barney songs. A favorite part was when the dog went and dug the cell phone, and the people couldn't find it.

Animated segments add fun interludes to the lessons about animals and the environment. Our kid jurors really enjoyed the songs and learned about developing friendships. They loved seeing the real kids on screen who they could relate to. One child mentioned how he wished that he could be on the show with Barney who still finds a special way into young people's hearts. Most important, this show gets kids up and moving.

BLIND SIDE, THE
WARNER HOME VIDEO
Series: FEATURE FILM, AGES 8-18
Description - "The Blind Side" depicts the story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher's presence in the Touhys' lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - Fantastic! More movies need to be made that are like this film! It is a thought-provoking, uplifting movie that is highly entertaining. This is a great family film that you can enjoy with your elementary, middle school, high school and even college kids. Sandra Bullock is a spitfire as Leigh Anne Touhy, a well-to-do wife and mom, with a compassionate heart. The film is based on the true story of the gentle, giant--Michael Oher, a homeless black teenager, who is taken in by the affluent Leigh Ann and her family and who eventually, with his new family's encouragement, becomes a football star! Oher is currently playing in the NFL. The acting is great, especially on the part of Sandra Bullock, who won an Oscar as Best Actress for this role. The story is skewed towards the positive of what was going on, but it isn't syrupy. The film inspires and make one feel hopeful about the world at large. There is no sex or graphic violence, just a super interesting story and some good filmmaking. Sit back, relax and enjoy. We recommend this film to families, and particularly those interested in sports.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - Loved it. "I liked EVERYTHING about the film. The characters made you root for them. The story made me feel good about trying for a good future. The filming was good because you would forget you were watching a movie." "The acting and the words they used were great and meaningful. The scenes and sets were so real feeling I forgot I was watching a movie. The costumes were great too. I liked how Big Mike first picked striped shirts that made him look like a big bumble bee. They used the costumes to show different life styles. You got to know everybody like family." "My favorite part was the sports action scenes. Especially when Michael pushed the bully over the wall. I like the scenes where Michael suddenly realized he could do it and got really great at football and how surprised the other team was and how happy his team was." "I would recommend this film to friends. And I did recommend it to friends and family and they liked it too because it's a very meaningful movie and it's a true story. It is for kids age 10 and up because of a little bit rougher scene with a group of guys Michael used to hang out with and I think really little kids wouldn't understand the story. But for 10 and up they will love it, even grown-ups. It is a family kind of film."

FREE STYLE
TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT Click to purchase directly from the producer
Series: FEATURE, AGES 12-18
Description - Cale Bryant (Bleu) needed someone to believe in him. Ever since he was young, he's wanted to race motocross professionally; but after a string of bad luck hits his family hard, the would-be champion is forced to put his dreams on hold. All that changes when he meets Alex (Sandra Echeverr�a, star of Telemundo's "Marina"), a beautiful girl who gives Cale encouragement, support and an old bike so that he can get back in the game again. Now, with Alex by his side, Cale takes on the challenge of his life: to beat the odds and cross the finish line a winner. Free Style also stars Penelope Ann Miller (Kindergarten Cop) and Madison Pettis (The Game Plan), and features music from star Corbin Bleu and The Jonas Brothers!
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - Winning the Amateur National Motocross Championship is Cale's (Corbin Bleu) ticket out of town where he can have the opportunity to make something of himself. The reality of making this dream come true is tenuous at best as Cale has to deal with the curves life throws at him. Filled with twists and turns, the plot isn't as straightforward or predictable as you might think. While you learn about motocross, the dangers and the thrills and the business itself, this film also deals with family relationships and dating relationships. Along with the message of clinging to dreams, there is also a strong message that sometimes the best way to make something of yourself is by dealing with the situations at hand in the place where you currently live. "Free Style" provides positive role models for interpersonal relationships and offers a positive and hopeful view of the future. It demonstrates the application of knowledge as it engages and entertains adults and children.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - It was exciting. The guy in yellow was a jerk. The main character's friends were nice to each other. It was all the motocross stuff I knew. My favorite parts were watching him build the dirt bike and winning. I didn't expect that chain to break. I like to have fun with the motocross racers, and I like to ride their bikes. The images were awesome - especially the jumps. The music was loud sometimes.

WALLACE & GROMIT: A MATTER OF LOAF AND DEATH.
LIONSGATE FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT Click to purchase directly from the producer
Series: SHORT, AGES 8-12
Description - Looking for a fast way to earn dough, Wallace decides to make it. Armed with a batch of ovens, an army of robotic kneading arms and an old-fashioned windmill, Wallace & Gromit� start "Top Bun," their new bread-baking business. Sales rise quickly and Wallace falls head over buns in love with a seductive bread-industry icon, Piella Bakewell. But when bakers suddenly start disappearing, Gromit realizes that his master is in danger as he follows a twisting, turning trail of crumbs to solve a murder mystery that becomes�A MATTER OF LOAF AND DEATH!
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - A baker's dozen isn't so great when you're talking about murder. Wallace and his dog, Gromit, open "Top Bun," a bread baking business. They are quite successful, and life seems to be going well for Wallace, who falls in love with a bread industry icon named Piella Bakewell. Things aren't perfect, though. Twelve bakers have already been murdered, and Gromit soon realizes that Wallace might be the next victim. He does everything he can to save his master using entertaining, clever strategies that keep the viewing audience captive. "Wallace & Gromit" once again lives up to its reputation for excellent cinematography as the clay characters take on lives of their own through stop-motion animation. It offers a great use of humor, appropriate for its audience.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - This is a bit different from the classic "Wallace & Gromit "movies in the sense that the older "Wallace & Gromit" movies were based upon Wallace's ideas and impulses - like going to the moon or building robots. The antagonist stemmed form Wallace's own ideas in the classic ones. This was more like "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit." I think my friends would like that it's different. It's claymation, not CGI, and you don't see that as often. It was a bit predictable, but was still funny. My favorite part was seeing the contraptions in the beginning that Wallace made.

VEGGIE TALES: SILLY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE.
VIVENDI ENTERTAINMENT
Series: SERIES, AGES 5-8
Description - This classic collection of Veggie Tales favorites teaches about several different forms of love. "The Story of Fibber-O-Loo" presents the parable of the good Samaritan in a Dr. Seuss-esque format that keeps you laughing as you learn about loving your neighbor.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - The Old Testament story of Ruth is told in "Duke and the Great Pie War." While the story addresses romantic love, it also highlights love for family. In "Madam Blueberry," we learn that material things don't bring happiness, but loving God does. While the stories are great, the segments in between the stories are just as good. Kids and parents will find themselves singing along to the silly love songs including, "Endangered Love," "His Cheeseburger," "Love My Lips!," and "The Bunny Song." The vegetables also interview young children (vegetables) about the meaning of love. Their actions and answers are just like children you might find in your own life, and will have you laughing as you appreciate their candid definitions of love. "Veggie Tales: Silly Little Thing Called Love" exhibits cinematographic and musical excellence. It promotes a balanced appreciation of self and others as well as service to and compassion for others.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - It was pretty exciting because I liked all the Veggie Tales episodes on the DVD. I liked the obstacle course in the one with the knight. Some of the characters were bad guys so they had to treat the other ones bad. We learned that God loves you. Very much. The silly songs really were silly. My favorite was "I Love my Lips!" because it was funny. My friends would like this because it's fun to watch. I liked how it sounded because there were no crackly noises, and the images were clear.

SO YOU WANT TO BE PRESIDENT?... AND MORE STORIES
NEW VIDEO GROUP, INC.
Series: INDEPENDENT SHORT, AGES 5-8
Description - Get an inside look at what it might be like to be the President of the United States. Scholastic Storybook Treasures has a long history of bringing award-winning children's books to DVD. This collection focuses on Washington DC and the Presidency.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - In "So You Want to Be President?" we learn the pros and cons of the job. This title is great for recognizing Presidents as real people. It shows how the United States President comes in all shapes and sizes and how past Presidents' different personalities contributed to the nation's history. The title takes us through a day on Capitol Hill with a senator in Washington DC and also gives us the history of Esther Morris who got women to vote in the 1800s. "So You Want to Be President?" doesn't glorify the Presidency in the least. It does show what an important job it is, but is brutally honest about successes and failures of past United States Presidents. It provides accurate facts and information.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - This DVD is about President's and what they do. I thought it was good how it told you about the Presidents. It tells a story from a senator's dog's point of view. I loved that because I love dogs, and it was fun to see Washington from the dog's viewpoint. It looked and sounded good. It showed what the Presidents looked like in cartoon animation like a caricature. I think my friends would like this because they would get better grades in social studies. My favorite part was when the girl wanted to become President, and she changed a few words in the song from "he" to "she."

Description - Veggie Tales is updated! Don't worry, you can still sing along with the popular theme song, but its presentation is a bit different. The kitchen has new decor, and even Qwerty has had an upgrade. When children have questions for the beloved vegetables, they used to write letters. Then they sent text messages. Now Qwerty shows children asking their questions through videos clips.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - In "Pistachio," a young boy has a question about obeying his parents even when he doesn't want to. The veggie characters tell the tale of "Pinocchio" with a classic veggie twist to demonstrate how important it is to be honest and to listen to your parents. It emphasizes that parents are older and have more experience and tell children to do things out of love for them. "Pistachio" has a serious message, but also has a great use of humor, which is appropriate to audiences of all ages. It provides positive role models for interpersonal relationships, addressing issues of respect and honesty.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - We love Veggie Tales, and this is as good as all the others. It is funny how they upgraded Qwerty and said they decorated when all they did was paint the wall and add a throw pillow. It was the "Pinocchio" story. The characters were nice. It taught me about listening to parents. Sometimes I don't want to listen to my parents, but I have to. It's usually a good thing when I do obey. The songs are fun. I liked how they played games, and he didn't know they were cheating. It showed he wasn't really thinking. If he was thinking, he would have figured out they were trying to trick them.

Series: FEATURE, AGES 5-12
Description - A fox is in the henhouse, and this time you are rooting for him. This film, based on the child's book by Roald Dahl, is an entertaining stop-motion animation featuring the voices of Meryl Streep, George Clooney, Michael Gambon and Bill Murray.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - When Fox finds out he is going to be a father, he promises his wife that he is going to put his thieving ways behind him. He does not hold true to this promise, and chaos ensues as the farmers he steals from try to get him back, affecting the entire underground animal community. As he struggles to right things, the fox is also working on his relationship with his son while learning who he, himself, truly is. "Fantastic Mr. Fox" keeps the viewing audience riveted and assists children in working through problems and emotional issues. It inspires children to find reasonable, positive solutions to problems and promote the balance appreciation of self and others.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - This movie was surprisingly good. It was enjoyable. You knew what was going to happen, but now how it was going to happen, which kept it interesting. The voices fit the parts well because they made the fox sound human with an animal-side, which is perfect. The animation was snappy, rather than smooth, but it fit the story. It looked almost perfect when the foxes were slinking around. I think my friends would love this because it's different. My favorite part was watching the fox steal the chickens. The conclusion was pretty realistic. They were happy enough.

Series: SERIES, AGES 2-5
Description - Learn how to face your fears and embrace your talents in this empowering collection of "Bob the Builder" episodes. Bob and his gang take you step-by-step through the building process, showing that it takes careful planning and lots of teamwork to get the job done.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - In the five animated episodes Scrap learns that observing others can help him work better in the long run; Lofty learns that water won't hurt him; Roley learns that it's better to work as a team and that his ideas aren't necessarily the best ideas; Scoop learns that builders can be artists and being an artist doesn't necessarily mean that you have to paint; and Lofty learns to face his fears with his eyes wide open and discovers that doing so gives him the understanding that there was nothing to be afraid of after all. This title assists children in working through problems or emotional issues and promotes service to and compassion for others.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - I liked this movie because it told you not to be afraid because there's no such things as monsters. It looked really good because they didn't mess up the cartoon. They were nice to each other. When one machine wanted to build something, the other machines told him to watch and learn, and they were nice to him. My favorite part was when Lofty thought that the water made it so that you fall apart if it touches you so he was afraid of it. He went into the water by accident and learned that if you go into the water, you don't fall apart. I think my friends would like this because they like big machines.

BIG BAD BOO STUDIO
Series: TV SERIES, AGES 5-8
Description - A groundbreaking series that celebrates cultures of the world with heart and humor. Watch these friends as they learn that not matter where you are from or what food you eat. Everyone can be a hero!
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - This series focuses on children from different cultures who make up America and the challenges they face growing up surrounded by different beliefs and customs. As they share and explore what makes them unique, they begin to also understand how much they are alike. "Peanuts" like characters and animation are nostalgic for adults, but may be a bit too stiff by today's standards. Adults like the "old school" use of sounds to connote action. Much of the dialogue seemed forced, but with a positive message. Accentuates the value of effort as opposed to perfection. Some adults enjoyed getting to know the characters better with each episode.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - The youngest children seemed to enjoy and engage in the series best. Older kids understood the story content better. Kids relate to the young animated characters. "I like how they talk to each other." "It has happy music." "Tubby calls the children names, one girl is snobby to the others, most of them are nice." The children enjoyed most of the episodes. The youngest commented and asked questions throughout and it held their attention. Some kids said they were "bored" while others wished there were more episodes to watch.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON
PARAMOUNT HOME ENTERTAINMENT Click to purchase directly from the producer
Series: FEATURE FILM, AGES 5-12 ANIMATED
Description - Set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, and based on the book by Cressida Cowell, the action comedy tells the story of Hiccup, a Viking teenager who doesn't exactly fit in with his tribe's longstanding tradition of heroic dragon slayers. Hiccup's world is turned upside down when a dragon challenges him and his fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely different point of view.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - How to Train Your Dragon is an exciting and appealing new CGI animated feature film from Dreamworks. Though screened in an unfinished version, in 2D, with temporary scenes and music in place, once finished it will be another strong 3D title in theatrical release. Young Hiccup is a Viking and has always wanted to fight the dragons along with the grown-ups but has never been allowed. During a battle between the dragons the Vikings, Hiccup is able to snare a flying dragon, a fact he shares with his father, the town leader. But his father doesn't believe him and Hiccup is forced to search out the downed creature. When he finds him, instead of killing him, which has been Viking culture forever, he spares the young dragon, and a friendship is born. Hiccup hides his dragon friend, builds him a new tail so he can fly again, trains to be a warrior, and slowly begins showing the townspeople a way to befriend the dragons. When his father returns from sea, Hiccup is forced to prove he can slay a dragon. He refuses, and his dragon friend is exposed and captured. Hiccup's father uses the dragon to lead his army to the �nest' to rid the town of the dragons once and for all and it's up to Hiccup and his friends to stop the attack, save the young dragon and the Vikings, and take on the evil mother dragon. The CGI animation is spectacular, professional all the way. The film will probably appeal more to boys (dragons, fighting and such) than girls and is a bit scary for kids ages 5 and under. It is a film that uses violence and war to prove the point that violence and war is not needed, but there is plenty of action and adventure. Lots of explosions, fire, scary looking creatures and loud effects. Its appeal could extend to young male adults as well as it is truly a rollicking adventure.

SPY NEXT DOOR, THE
LIONSGATE FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT Click to purchase directly from the producer
Series: FEATURE FILM, AGES 5-8
Description - Lionsgate and Relativity Media's family action comedy starts Jackie Chan as Bob Ho, and undercover CIA superspy who decides to give up his career in espionage to settle down with his next-door neighbor and girlfriend, Gillian (Amber Valletta). But Bob has one more mission to complete before Gillian agrees to marry him: winning over her three opinionated kids.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - The Spy Next Door refers to Bob Ho (Jackie Chan), a square but safe next-door neighbor and boyfriend of Jillian, a single mom with three kids. She is glad to have an honest and dependable guy in her life. The kids are dead set against the relationship because he's, well, just a big geek. When Mom needs to leave town suddenly, Bob offers to care for them, thinking it will give him a chance to make the kids like him. What no one knows is that Bob is actually an accomplished Chinese spy working with the CIA who has just worked his last job and has retired in the hopes of settling down with Jillian. The kids put Bob thru the ringer, but trouble really starts when the bad Russian guys come after Bob and the kids. Jillian breaks up with Bob when she realizes he has put her kids in danger. In the end, the kids come to his defense, the couple gets married and a new family is born.
What will appeal to a youth audience the most are the action scenes. The good guy spy, with help from the kids, fight the evil Russian baddies. There are lots of martial arts scenes but the action is almost cartoonish and we see no blood and guts. There is only scene where a bad guy gets a bloodied nose.
The heart of the film is delivered by Jackie Chan when he tells his girlfriend's teenage daughter that family is what you make � who you love and who loves you � not just the blood that runs in your veins. It's good advice and she grows to accept him as a potential step-father. It also helps her embrace her own family after feeling she didn't belong. Watching Bob trying to care for three unruly kids is truly humorous. The emotional arc of the kids letting down their defenses and allow a new man into their lives is something many kids can relate to, whether it's happened to them or they have seen friends experience similar things. The film is certainly derivative of other James Bond-for-kids type movies such as Spy Kids but doesn't really add anything original or memorable. The true appeal of this film is Jackie Chan, who gracefully moves between his two identities � the super square pen salesman who lives next door, and the super cool and capable Chinese spy working with the CIA. Plus, he's funny. That surprised us.

GRANDPA READ'S QUIET TIME TALES VOL. 1
QUIET TIME PRODUCTIONS, LLC
Series: INDEPENDENT SHORT AGES 5-8, ANIM
Description - Grandpa Read is a gentle, loving grandfather who reads classic children's stories to calm them during their daily "quiet time." Here, he reads Three Bears, Cinderella and three more stories accompanied by commissioned artwork.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - A sweet presentation by a venerable older man who reads stories to children. The location is inviting, with fireplace, rocking chair, and devoted dog. Grandpa Read invites children to gather round and listen quietly to some familiar stories including The Three Bears, The Talking Fish, Puss 'n Boots, Cinderella and Polly of the Circus. The stories are accompanied with simple, coloring book-style images. The focus is on the narrator rather than the images from the stories. After each story, he talks with the children about the choices made by the characters in the story. The narrator is pleasant but not exceptional. He uses some expression but doesn't change his voice when changing characters. So few children have a grandpa, or even a parent to read to them that this fills a real gap. Very enjoyable.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - Enjoyed it. "I liked it a lot." "I love quiet times listening to fairytales." "An old man named Grandpa Read read us stories." "The pictures in the books were colorful." "I would like to sit in that room with all the books." "I'd watch it again. I liked most of it."

MADAGASCAR - ESCAPE 2 AFRICA
DREAMWORKS - LA
Series: FEATURE FILM, AGES 8-12, ANIM
Description - Your favorite castaways are back � still together and still lost! One of the top movies of the year, DreamWorks Animation's MADAGASCAR: ESCAPE 2 AFRICA is "even better than the first!" (Mark Hyman, FOX-TV). You'll laugh out loud as this outrageous comedy takes you on an African adventure like no other.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - Alex is a baby lion who loves to sing, dance, be happy. Caught off the reserve in Africa, to the anguish of the lion King, his father, Alex awakes to an unlikely group of comrades in the New York Central Park Zoo. As they grow up, so does their song and dance friendship. Alex becomes King of the Zoo, adored by all. Yet they escape to their roots, Africa in a rickety plane piloted by penguins. This madcap group of friends discover identity, love, challenge. The movie, guided by great animation, funny characterization, sensitive dialogue, finds Alex reunited with his family only to be banished after his right of passage, sabotaged by a jealous lion, fails. Throughout, Alex maintains his independence, his love of what he knows - dance, song and joyfulness. These contagious qualities win the ultimate test and Alex, leading his friends, save the animal kingdom from outside dangers. Happily, Alex teaches his father, the King Lion, to dance. This is a terrific movie for kids and parents, although parental caution, and PG rating is deserved specifically when an older grandparent figure, female, though very irritating and mean, is constantly being pummeled by everyone. This element is not a positive message and those scenes detract from the lesson of family being true to one's identity-and parental support of their child's abilities. Stars Chris Rock and Ben Stiller.

DR. SEUSS' HORTON HEARS A WHO
TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM CORPORATION
Series: FEATURE, AGES 5-12, ANIM
Description - One of Dr. Seuss' most beloved stories roars to life as never before in this enormous animated adventure that proves "a person's a person no matter how small." A playful pachyderm named Horton becomes a reluctant hero when he discovers the microscopic city of Who-ville on a floating speck of dust and embarks on a hilarious adventure to save the town from the dangers of the jungle. Featuring a who's who of superstar voice talent, including Jim Carrey, Steve Carell and Carol Burnett, this heartwarming hit comedy delivers loads of laughs and tons of fun for the whole family!
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - Based on the timeless classic book by Dr. Seuss, the imaginative elephant Horton hears a cry for help coming from a tiny speck of dust floating through the air. Suspecting there may be life on that speck and despite his friends who think he has lost his mind, Horton is determined to help. Featuring a memorable cast of voices including Jim Carrey, Carol Burnett and Steve Carell, this is a faithful and hilarious adaptation of Dr. Seuss' classic book with outstanding talent, vibrant animation, nonsensical rhymes and expressive characters. Carrey's portrayal of Horton is charming. Thankfully, they didn't fall into the potty humor trap for this film which is refreshing. The film's message is about respect and having faith in things that can't be seen. The message, "a person's a person no matter how small" introduces kids to thoughtful philosophical questions.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - Horton, the happy elephant from the creation of Dr. Seuss, finds adventure and wisdom when he encounters a whole village of little people on a speck atop a pink blossom floating in the air. Horton, the only 'large' person who hears them must overcome the doubt and ridicule of his friends as he seeks to protect his new found, very tiny, world by placing it in a safe place on a high mountain top. As the possibility of making it all the way to safety becomes harder and harder, Horton (voice by Jim Carey) becomes more and more determined and pushes himself to run across cold snow, climb dangerous roads, and depend on the love of his family who believe in him. This clever, engaging film is delightful in its' crisp animation. Much to the surprise of the townspeople who do not share in Horton's imagination and spirit, they too come to hear the 'Who' and realize that we all, however big or small, matter-an engaging lesson for both adults and children. This film, with humor and sensitivity, promotes the awareness of diversity and shows positive pride in following one's truth. A fun, forgiving, discovery with Horton, the elephant.

Description - Bolt is a loveable canine whose 'person' is a young girl who stars in adventure movies. His home, until he is, by mistake, shipped to New York in a Styrofoam filled box, is on a movie set, in his own trailer. The only thing not make-believe is the love between Bolt and his young owner.

Bolt, as is his owner, Penny, ultimately face the difference between 'real life' and 'make believe powers.'
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - The journey of this adventure film is the lesson about how friends stick together and help one another, through thick and thin. Also, we are reminded that the simple real life, of a warm hearth to sleep by or a stick to chase, if it is one's true nature, is the ultimate journey. This delightful adventure does have scenes that show potential bodily harm to the animals and scenes that might scare young viewers.

STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS - CLONE COMMANDOS
WARNER HOME VIDEO
Series: SERIES, AGES 8-12
Description - In the great storytelling tradition of Star Wars, Lucas film has created an animated Clone Wars series, a hugely popular Cartoon Network show now being released to DVD, that is sure to appeal to a whole new generation of Star Wars fans. Those familiar with the live-action Star Wars films will recognize favorite characters such as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO, R2-D2 and Yoda, while being introduced to new members of the Clone Wars team.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - These episodes are action-packed and captivating, though a bit too violent and serious in nature for children under the age of six. For example, in one episode a screaming fast slithering creature comes out of nowhere and devours a clone trooper whole - perhaps a bit much for more sensitive children. However, the battles are handled in an appropriate matter, without any blood or guts. The heroes of the story act defensively and do not fight without provocation. After all, this is war as the title states, and there isn't anything tame or pretty about war. For such short episodes, the story lines are well-developed. Our favorite story resembled the classic movie, "The Guns of Navarone." In this episode, the clones come to aid a world held captive, where they meet a young native girl who helps them to free her people from their captors. "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" is original and sure to captivate young viewers with its non-stop action, exciting characters and themes that are true to the original "Star Wars" ideology.

KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - Some viewers might object to the characters seemed smoking although there is a very strong message that smoking is very bad for you, and it's not appreciated.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - Very good. It didn't copy the book but the characters read the real book. There was too much emphasis of the city girl thing at first. It was kind of cool like when she found the dog and sympathized with it. It was the beginning of her change. It showed lots of scenery along with the characters and it was gorgeous. The bully was abused and he treated others badly, but he changed by the end.

Description - Join the battle between good and evil as one of the world's favorite super heroes fights to keep the world safe from evil villains. In these entertaining episodes, Batman fights evil on other planets, under the water, in alternate time dimensions and even villains who take over toys at Christmas.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - While some viewers might not appreciate the violence portrayed in the story-lines (punching and weapons), other realize this is true to Batman form and none of the fighting is gratuitous. Scary images and scantily clad females make this a better story for older children than younger. Viewers will most likely appreciate the moral messages in these episodes, which highlight the importance of friends and family and keeping on the good side of the law. In spite of all his fame, Batman is the first to point out that he learns new things every day. This is shown in the first episode where Batman remarks that he sets out to find out whether a certain individual has what it takes to become a superhero, and the individual surprises him by becoming a superhero in front of his eyes. This title keeps true to its comic book appeal with simple drawings, but the animation and sound are modern so it's a pleasure to view.

SHAUN THE SHEEP: LITTLE SHEEP OF HORRORS
HIT ENTERTAINMENT - TX
Series: SERIES, AGES 5-8
Description - Get ready to laugh out loud as you enjoy the antics of a bunch of animated sheep. The creators of "Wallace and Gromit" will have you in stitches with the antics of barnyard animals that walk on two legs when humans are not around. In this special DVD, spookiness turns to hilarity as the sheep get themselves into all sorts of mischief.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - You'll be so drawn into the stories, it will take you a while to realize that there isn't a single word spoken in the entire 40 minutes. The stories are told completely through animation and music. While most of the DVD is innocent and funny, some of the scenes might distress some viewers such as scenes with knives and sheep covered in blood (which we find out is actually pizza sauce). In one scene the shadow of an attacker with a weapon turns out to be the shadow of the farmer brushing his teeth. Still, it might unnerve some viewers.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - It was a good movie, and I liked it. It was really, really, really funny like how the sheep are scared and the little baby sheep with pizza sauce comes and jumps from around the couch and it was scary for the other sheep until they figured out what was happening.

"I don't like some of the voices, but the music is good." Sometimes the characters were nice to each other, but Mr. Rude wasn't very nice.

UGLY CATERPILLAR, THE
ADVANCE PUBLISHING
Series: INDEPENDENT SHORT AGES 5-8
Description - Speckles and Crumbs think Katy the caterpillar is too ugly to be their friend, but not Annie. When Katy is transformed into a beautiful butterfly, they learn about true beauty and friendship. Based on the book by Carl Sommer.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - The Ugly Caterpillar is a great book about how to treat others. Through this video, the author reads the story and also discusses the importance of treating others equally, not based on outward appearances, and as you would like others to treat you. It teaches lessons about kindness, fairness and equality throughout the story, the discussion and also the songs. The DVD comes with an outreach guide for parents and caregivers. The questions and answers throughout the reading of the book give the audience immediate feedback about what's happening in the story and what should happen. Endearing and colorful characters have great child appeal who are fascinated with the insect world and the changing of the caterpillar into a butterfly. The format of this video is quite wonderful. Viewers get to see the book close up with nice background music and then meet the author, Mr. Sommer, who stops his reading and has a conversation with a group of children onscreen. The kids ask questions that typically would also be asked by viewers and they seem very natural and unscripted. Very lovely.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - Liked it. "This show taught us how to treat others nicely and to not worry about how others look. We should always be nice and friendly to others and think about how they act, not how they look." "I would watch it again with my friends. They would like it because they like bugs and stories about friendship." There was an ugly bug who some of the other bugs said was too ugly. Annie said it was okay, that it didn't matter how you looked, and she became the caterpillar's friend. Then, the caterpillar turned into a butterfly." "Some of the other bugs weren't nice to the caterpillar but Annie didn't care, she was her friend anyway." "I liked the pictures from the book."

BABY PRODIGY - 30 MINUTES TO A QUIET BABY
BABY PRODIGY COMPANY
Series: INDEPENDENT SHORT, AGES 0-2
Description - Soothe and relax your baby with delightful animations, adorable puppet scenes and calming visuals. A must have for anyone trying to quiet a fussy child. Starring celebrity characters Dookie and Dottie Duck!
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - Nice video for adults to watch together with their child, ages 1-3. The merits are really only realized when there is adult interaction with the content. The interactive portions are outstanding. The structure, continuity and style are very good. Some portions are perhaps a bit fast for the youngest kids, but still very good. Overall it is well paced, suitable for the audience and holds their interest. The attitude is respectful of toddlers and introduces concepts such as color recognition and matching. Production quality is good. The sections about color, food and animals could easily lead to other discussion and activities if the parent is actually watching with the child.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - Children in our jury were 20 months to 3 1/2 years in age. They definitely enjoyed the show and, in fact, groaned when it ended. One responded with an enthusiastic "ya" when asked if he wanted to watch it again. They seemed to like the stuffed animals and the music. Overall, they liked the "real objects" better than the drawings. They pointed to objects, participated in color matching activities, danced along to the songs and one speech delayed 3 year old said "train" (a new word for him) while watching. There are portions that encourage interactions - naming colors, matching colors, etc where you need an adult interacting with the child to get the full benefit. The color matching part is a bit fast for the children. They would have had more success if they had more time to figure it out on their own. There are non-interactive portions that are a bit slow and the kids started to lose interest but as soon as the section and pace changed, the kids re-engaged. It's not easily divided into segments in the menu but an adult could pause and skip to view certain segments.

KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - Adult viewers, particularly those who are dog lovers, absolutely loved this. They found the dogs adorable and enjoyed watching their antics. The narrator's voice is soothing, rather like a mom reading a bedtime story, but it also almost puts you to sleep. The songs are delightful and leave you wanting more, or even have a different voice for each of the dogs. The storyline could use some improvement though the messages about teamwork and getting along come through clearly. Overall, it is cute and likeable, particularly the puppies.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - Most kids enjoyed this, particularly younger ones in the 5 and 6-year-old age group. The older kids found the story lacking in substance whereas the younger ones said, "I would watch it again because there are funny parts."
