ZAKLAND, THE SHINY SURPRISE cover image
Loved it. "Zak is very silly." "I want to see the tiodnaci song again." The kids notice how everyone treated each other well. "The kids were nice. His grandma was silly." It made one child talk about frogs, roosters, planes, chicken pox, and put on a puppet show afterwards." The song about the dancing horse was a favorite.
Excellent. Great original music, positive lessons. Good combination of animation and live action. There is an ongoing storyline with issues, lessons, facts and fun along the way. Zak teaches kids to try their hardest and to believe in themselves. Wonderful presentation - Zak is like a young Mister Rogers. The background is fun and uncluttered, the music is clear and upbeat. The songs would stand alone, outside of the context of this story. The issues addressed encourage self-esteem. A little long for kids to take in one sitting but there are many logical breaks. A bit saccharine, but not over the top.
Join Zak on a magical journey into the musical world called ZakLand. There we learn the power of imagination and that anything is possible if you try hard and believe in yourself.
You too can become a film critic!
