IPhone 3G used's review (SPARKLE SPARKLE!!!!) 『I LOVE TO MAKE JEWLERY AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL IS MY FAVORITE WHEN IN SUNLIGHT THE SPARKLING LIGHT THE BEADS TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY IF YOU ARE INTO MAKING JEWLEREY THEN THESE ARE THE BEADS FOR YOU AND IN SUCH A VARITEY OF COLOR THIS IS A BEAD MAKERS HEAVEN!!』
(Swarovski assortment) 『While I agree that one might be able to purchase these items (individually) for a little less money from other sources, I really liked this assortment. I usually buy beads by the strand (or by the bag), and I usually use the Swarovski crystals as accents, so this assortment gives me a lot of flexibility. It's a good variety with enough crystals of each color to use effectively as accents. It feeds well into spontaneous design, where you find that a particular colored crystal (which you otherwise would have not thought to buy/stock individually) looks great in the item you're making. It's always good to have items like this on hand. Another benefit: it's often tough to make buying decisions online because a) you're not exactly sure how the colors look in real life b) you're not sure, for example, which of the many shades of green is right for what you're doing. With this collection, you have many to chose from and can experiment. I actually plan on saving one crystal from each color so that I have a "reference" for future purchases of the colors I like the most; this way, I'll know exactly what the crystal will look like. So ... if any of this appeals to you and your work style, I recommend this set!』
(R U sure that this is a good price?) 『Ok, I go to bead site I usually go and found that I could get 625 swarvoski crystals with these colors and found that it is only $33.35 Actually getting 500 crystal for $32.99 + SH $4.55 and only 20 per colors, I think this is ok deal, if you can not find it anywhere else. Come on, I could get 25 pieces per 25 colors for $33.25 plus shipping of $1.26. Now this is a better deal. Even these colors gave no AB crystals but the site I go have these and more.』
(A veritable gale of crystals....) 『Sorry. I love puns. And I love crystals. They make the most ordinary piece of jewelry sparkle.
Bicones are especially nice this way, having so many facets. This offering of them includes 25 beautiful colors (I was surprised by the variety and subtlety of hues) 20 stones of each for a total of 500. I counted--all there. And these are Swarovski--the Crème de la Crème.
They are so beautiful I don't want to use them, I want to hoard them. How's that for honesty? Seriously, I'll be wearing many of these myself.
Now if I can just find a way to use them with my polymer clay....』
(Excellent beads!) 『I am blown away by the quality of these beads! I am a returning customer and after spending 2 to 3 times the amount on beads, I have finally found a seller who sells great product at an even better price. Fast shipping and just wonderful!!

IPhone 3G used's review (Go Green, Recycling Bags!!) 『What a great product! Not a hard side but they do velcro together and stand up nicely! Customizeable label for whatever you are able to recycle in your area! Very good size if you do have weekly pick up. I keep them in the kitchen and take them to the recycling pick up bin outside for the weekly pick up. They save me a lot of steps and you are able to get a lot moved in each bag! I looked around for a large enough container to make it worth while but wasn't willing to spend up to $200 just to have recycleables in one area. This is a nice economical choice! Shipping was fast from this seller!』
(Good product to separate recycles) 『I was looking for an all in one recycling container that I saw in the magazine Dwell but were quite expensive ($70-$200). I found these 3 bags to be reasonably priced. The product arrived very quickly in about 5 days.
Upon opening I was a little disappointed to the flimsy quality and the bags were bigger than I had expected. One bag smelled like it was used for dirt so I am not sure if I received a returned bag. The bags are designated for metals, paper, and glass. However, you can use them for whatever your needs are. I use one for plastic bags, one for paper (cereal boxes, newspapers, magazines, junk mail, etc), and the 3rd bag I combine my plastic food containers, glass bottles, and cans. In order to keep the bags standing up you will need to connect them with the velcro and place up against a wall for support until you start filling them up with your recycles. The bags fit nicely into my kitchen closet.
Since I do not have curb side recycling, I have been driving to a local place that has recycling bins. The bags are nice to carry back and forth while being able to hold a lot of weight.
I would definitely not have these bags laying out for people to see. But if you have a closet or a place in your garage, these bags will come in handy.』
(Recylcing Bags) 『These bags do all that they say they will. Organize, transport, and stand upright even when empty. I've gotten so many compliments and queries from people who see them and want some for themselves!』
(Low Tech Solution) 『This is an excellent low tech solution to recycling. Very convenient for taking to the recycling center. For those who say the bags don't stand up - just attach the velcro tabs to another bag and they will stay upright. The material is a bit flimsy though.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Live at Red Rocks: It Rocks) 『Owned the VHS in 1986 when I was 16. Seeing it again reminds me how good this band was at the time it was recorded. Their performance also benefits from the unpolished style that the footage was shot in; I still enjoy the look of it.』
(Will not work X2, so upset!) 『5 stars for U2, -2 two stars for we had to return this twice and Amazon.com wants to give us back our money the third time. I still want this so bad, we tried 3 home DVD players and two PC's DVD drives with no luck at all. I'd take an old DVD version, if I didn't know that the re-mastered version so much better. I'm going to to FRY's or Best Buy, thanks for trying Amazon.com.』
(Grainy but Excellent Sound -- Disappointing Overall) 『Just bought this DVD -- first I have to echo what several others have said: the grain on this video is BAD! Guess I had to see it for myself to believe it.
I still have my VHS tape of this concert, and I did a side-by-side comparison of tape to DVD. I don't think there's a person alive who could deny that my 17-year old videotape looks better than the DVD image. Sure, VHS tape is never going to be video perfection -- BUT the fact remains that the DVD quality is noticably worse. The lower image quality is noticable right away even during the host's introduction of U2.
What could account for this image degradation? A few possibilities: 1) the tape itself has deteriorated. I consider this unlikely, as I assume (hope) they stored the tape safely. 2) the DVD is revealing more clearly the inherent flaws in the original tape. This is possible, but my DVD set of "Barney Miller" looks just fine and that was a TV show from the late 70's! 3) The producers did a piss-poor job with this DVD transfer. I believe this to be the most likely reason.
Of course, they butchered "Electric Co." as many others have noted. I was disappointed but not surprised about this one -- I think they figure "why bother paying for song use rights when this issue will only be noticed by a relatively small number of customers?"
Why do I still give it 3 stars? The SOUND is much improved, as expected, which is critical since the CD version is a measly 8 songs, most of which did NOT come from the Red Rocks concert. Also, this DVD does include several more songs than the VHS version so those are great to have.』
(About time...and beautifully restored!) 『This concert at Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre was a defining moment in U2's history. Everything about it was just at the right time. It was 1983 and the War album was riding the charts...MTV showed an abridged version of their set, and now a full 25 years later the entire concert is available at last on DVD. The picture quality is super, though it revelas a few of the technological flaws of video back then...there is the inevitable trail from some of the lights that looks like wires across the sky, but that does very little to detract from what this show was all about: the music. Their energy, their presence (and how young they looked) and the fact that they added 5 more songs to the originally aired program make this package well worth the long wait. I hadn't realized this hadn't been released on DVD until I had purchased a couple of their other concert collections. This was the big one...the one that blew things wide open and showed the world this was a band who'd be around for a long time to come. The deluxe versions of the early albums and The Joshua Tree are must-have material for any real U2 fan wanting all the extra music in one place. My only complaint about the CD&DVD collection would be that the CD is still the eight-song version and not all 19 tracks, but it's a minor one...all 19 songs are on the DVD to enjoy. Now, if they'll update The Unforgettable Fire, I'll be really pleased too!』
(Video quality) 『I am huge U2 fan, but I have to say, I was shocked when I put this DVD in my player to watch. I love the sound, but I just can't get past the fact that for some cameras angles, on most of the songs, the video has streaks/lines going thru the entire screen. If these are lines that were the result of the method used to tape the show, fine. However, one would think if they transferred the original video to a digital copy, that they could tidy up the lines and remove most of them (or cover them up with color that matches the background?).
Can someone confirm that this is the way the DVD looks, or is it possible I purchased a bad DVD?』 『Recorded at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado on 5th June 1983, Live at Red Rocks will be available for the first time on DVD, and will include 5 previously unreleased songs, a director's commentary, digitally re-graded pictures and a 5.1 mix. 1.

Secondly, with his great charisma, passion and humanity. I can't give this DVD enough stars. It's a very carefully thought out, loving, poignant depiction of the Great Man and his music, set to seven of his most famous arias. I enjoyed every second of it and will watch it again and again.
He poured his heart and love into everything he ever did and it's revealed this wonderful portrayal.
RIP Gran Tenore - now the angels are blessed, as you blessed us.』
(A fantastic life!) 『I watched this BBC production, and it was awesome. What a life this man had, and how he shared his great talent, with so many. My daughter, Jennifer, and I would listen to him, as we traveled, enjoying the music, but more importantly, his voice. God truly touched him with more than a talent for singing, but with a talent for touching other people's lives. He is greatly missed. jlp』 『The extraordinary documentary from the BBC tells the story of Luciano Pavarotti's remarkable career through the eyes of some of his colleagues and the arias that made him famous!

Interviews with Joan Sutherland, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, Montserrat Caballé, Juan Diego Flórez, Renata Scotto and others. Highlighted arias from La Bohème, La Fille du Régiment, L'Elisir d'Amore, Rigoletto, Tosca, Turandot as well as Panis Angelicus and Ingemisco.

IPhone 3G used's review (Great Show!) 『This was a great show and a great Blu-ray release. Its NOT 1080P, its in 720/1080I only. With saying that its still an awesome Blu-ray release. As of the audio, it doesn't get any better than this. I don't think I ever heard a 5.1 surround mix so profound and clear at the same time, incredibly well balanced instrument-wise, a treat, simply.Extras are as wonderful as you'd expect it to be, a lot of lovely features, including bonus tracks from the Royal Albert Hall shows (which is from which the release takes its material). My final words on this are, definately, buy it. It's worth it.』
(best of the ones I own...) 『Even if you are not a particularly big fan of Pink Floyd there's a lot here to entertain. If you are fan, put this one in your shopping cart post haste. The sound is off the charts, the picture is fantastic and the performance is great. David Gilmour is as good as he ever was, perhaps even better. His voice has held up over the years and his very recognizable guitar style continues to raise goosebumps. Something I happened to notice about this particular concert is you never see cameraman, but there are shots being taken from every conceivable angle. Hats off to the producer. I have a lot of concert dvds and this one is the best.』
(Thank you God for Richard Wright....and Pink Floyd!) 『I received "Remember That Night" yesterday and sat and watched the entire concert tonight...a great addition to my Pink Floyd collection.
The clarity in the music and HD filming is extraordinary. The musicians that put the whole thing together make it an all time great. It will become the #1 concert on HD DVD of all time without a doubt.
This final recorded performance that Richard Wright performed in makes it an honor to own.
God Bless you Mr. Wright and your family. Your music and peaceful demeanor will be remembered by all Pink Floyd fans forever.』
(Incredible) 『I just recently purchased this video on Blu-Ray, and I have to say, it is fantastic. I didn't actually expect the video quality to be that great, considering the fact that you need some pretty nice cameras to capture a very high definition picture. I was partially right, and I think it has a great deal to do with the lighting. Certain cameras at certain times with the right lighting look wonderful, where as other views of the concert look somewhat grainy. The picture quality is still great, and the lighting effects are mind blowing. With that said, I will now mention what I believe to be the most amazing part about this video, the audio. I can't speak for the DVD version, but the Blu Ray version has crystal clear audio. It literally sounds as if you are sitting in the audience, or maybe even better. Great picture and amazing audio would be worthless if the music itself wasn't also great, and it is. Some tracks worth noting: "Echoes" "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" "Comfortably Numb" "High Hopes" and "Coming Back to Life". If you are a Pink Floyd fan, I cannot see how you could be disappointed with any of these songs. Seeing Rick Wright do his thing on the keyboards, with such delicate perfection, smiling the entire time, makes this video worth purchasing alone. I cannot recommend this video more, if you are considering buying it, I suggest to stop thinking, and buy it now. If you have a high def output and surround sound, you are in for an unbelievable treat.』

IPhone 3G used's review (When will the DVD be sold separately?) 『Our family likes to spend Christmas with the Brady family every holiday season. We bought the video years ago, and would now love to have the DVD. I already have all the seasons of Brady Bunch on DVD, and am not willing to buy the pkg. set for this holiday extra that is included.I thought for sure that it would be offered this Christmas Season, separately. Bah Humbug to whoever makes these decisions!』
(A Very Brady Christmas) 『I'm so happy to finally own a copy of this, even if it is on VHS. It really needs to be released on DVD!
Simple plot:
Mike wants to take Carol to Japan. Carol wants to take Mike to Greece.
They each call all six kids, tell them their plans, but yet no one tattles. (Where's Cindy when you need her?) However, this is also when Bobby gets to deliver a classic line, after Mike asks him when to break the news to Carol, "After the first of the year, Dad." It's only when they run into each other at the travel agency that they figure out the snag in their plans. They come up with the idea to fly all of the family in for this Christmas, and voila, a reunion is planned. However, not is all well with the Brady family. Greg is missing his wife Nora, who chose to spend with Christmas with her family while Greg and Kevin (their son) fly into Mike and Carol's, Peter is worried about his relationship with his girlfriend, who is also his boss, Marcia's husband Wally has lost his job and doesn't want anyone to know, Jan and her husband Philip are in the process of separating, Cindy wants to go on a ski weekend and feels like she has to come home, and Bobby has dropped out of grad school to race cars (which foreshadows what happens in The Bradys, but thats another story).
I remember watching this when it first aired, and since has become a family favorite Christmas movie in my family. While totally out there and unrealistic, a Very Brady Christmas gives us what we all crave: A family Christmas where EVERYONE is able to make it. While it is unrealistic, it gives that feeling of going home again, and being part of that family that we all love. Who doesn't want that?
I'm really hoping for this to be released on DVD, with lots of DVD extras, a look back, interviews, the whole works.
This is a family tradition is I hope to keep in my family for many years to come.』
(The Brady Family Get Together) 『This was a funny comedy movie. I don't know if this title will ever go to DVD but the cover of this box, why is Robert Reed at the top and Florence Henderson on the bottom? They all look different on the cover. Mike Lookingland looks like a doll of somesort on the cover. First Ann B. Davis stays with Mike and Carrol after her husband Sam the Butcher leaves her for a younger woman. All the kids are grown up and moved out. Susan Olsen wasn't in this movie because she was on her honeymoon when the movie started. I found that on wikipedia. The first to get a hold of is Marcia ( McKormik ) who has a cute little girl and a bratty boy. Her husband got fired from his job at the toy factory he worked at and he never wanted to hear the word toy again when Robert Reed asks him later in the movie how do toys come in good in Christmas? Then Jan ( Plumb ) is seperating from her husband Phillip. They do not tell Mike and Carrol until 20 minutes before the end of the movie. They are taking all of their personal items. When Mike asks them if they had ideas for kids they both split away. There are a couple scenes where Phillip wears glasses. Then Cyndi ( Runyon ) is going skiing with her college friends. But then she decides that she will do what she wants and she admits to her roomate that she wants to go home for Christmas. The original Cyndi ( Susan Olsen ) was on her honeymoon when the movie first came out. She looks like a clean college student but I think they made her roomate have alot of boyfriends and I don't feel like saying that word on the computer. Then Greg ( Williams ) is a married doctor with one child. A boy but not a brat. Greg's wife Nora works at the same hospital that Greg works at and the wife of the side is getting Greg with their boy and Nora will go to her parents. Then Peter ( Knight ) is thinking about marrying his boss at his plant. He brings her to the reunion. Then Bobby ( Lookingland ) drops out of grammar school to be a racecar driver and doesn't say a word about it to Mike and Carrol. Then Mike has to go to a builind site to free these builders in the inside of this cave-in. He free's them but then he gets stuck between all this debree. Will this be a Merry Christmas or Mike's last year on Earth? Find Out In This Funny Movie.
Grade: A -』
(A Christmas treat at #8) 『Where do you beging with a movie of this quality? I'll start with Alice. Sure, one might question why you still have a housekeeper after your children all leave and she doesn't seem to do anything but spout off hokey lines, but there's her old tired butt complaining about how Sam done her wrong. She's completely pointless, but Ann B. Davis plays pointless better than anyone this side of Corey Haim.
This movie is full of shenanigans and tomfoolery starting with Mike and Carol trying to book vacations at the same time to different places? Well, they meet at the travel agency!! They end up deciding to blow their money to fly their kids home for Christmas. This is where the true fun starts. Greg is a doctor and his wife with an attitude problem decides she is going to spend it with her family instead of his. After watching the Brady's, I can't say I blame her. Peter is dating his older boss, who is a total hottie. He is sleeping his way to the top in grand fashion. It's weird watching him knowing he's now on reality TV married to a ditzy model with issues. Bobby is the wild card of the brady family, always has been. You could go back to the Hawaiian tiki doll episode (Dooo deee dooo) and see that Bobby wasn't going to be contained by society. Well, the doofus drops out of school to become a race car driver. Evidentally the producers didn't realize that you have to be related to someone or have connections to be a top flight NASCAR driver.
Onto the girls. Marcia is still pretty dang hot, but somehow ends up marrying a whiny guy who looks like a cross between the lead singer of the Scorpions, lead singer of the Tubes and your dad. He gets laid off from his job, presumably for being a dork, and degrades himself througout the movie much to everyone's delight. It's kind of cool when a loser realizes they are a total loser and if there has ever been a loser bigger than this guy, I'd like to see him. Age hasn't been kind to Jan in this feature and her husband agrees as they are separated. They trade out Susan Olsen for a much hotter Cindy in this thing much to my delight.
You wouldn't believe the crap that happens in this unless you see it, but let me run it down. If you don't want to know what happens, please stop reading now. I know you can't stop though because my reviews are addictive. They are comedic crack.
Greg's wife shows up, Peter gets engaged to his boss, Bobby tells the family he wants to race cars and everyone is cool with it, Marcia's husband tells everyone he's a loser, Jan and her guy get back together, Cindy has no real point, Alice gets back together with Sam and Sam actually calls her a cut of meat, Carol smiles and Mike tells everyone that he loves men more than anything on earth. I'm kidding on that last part, he actually ends up being trapped in a building and emerging unscathed after the family sings Christmas carols to free him.
So why is this movie the number 8 film of all time? Like other reviewers have said, the acting is horrid, the storylines are completely ridiculous and everyone looks like they are just waiting for their check from this thing. Due to those factors, this ends up being one of the funniest movies ever made. I laughed several times out loud and nearly soaked my pants. There is not much other comedy that can do that. Maybe a Sinbad stand up show or Peeks going ballistic over a golf ball hitting his car, but not much else.』
(So Bad It's Great) 『This is the ultimate cheesy Christmas special, which is much like a bad car wreck: you want to look away but you just can't. The contrived storylines and over-the-top ending (the architect emerging from the rubble of a damaged building) are only enhanced by the extremely poor acting. Every time I cringed at something so bad with this show I found myself unable to change the channel. Buy this movie in VHS format. It will change your life.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Simply Remarkable) 『It's hard to believe anyone could build a feature-length story on a song and come up with something this good. But writer Romeo Mueller and producers Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin, Jr. did just that.
This story of misfits finding their rightful place in the world is just the Christmas tale solitary children the world over need to hear. Its beautiful and subversive message feels all the more heartfelt because we receive it through the delicately hand-wrought images of stop-motion animation. There's something especially touching in the craft behind the images: you can feel the resonance from the touch of each person who posed these figure, frame after frame.
A beautiful story, a wonderful early-60s design aesthetic and a talented group of voice actors make this feel as important today as it did when I first saw it in 1964.
This edition features a reconstructed broadcast version, including all the original scenes, plus additional material added a few years later. Most importantly, it restores the original "We're A Couple of Misfits" song to its proper place. It was replaced with a song considered more suitable (about seeking one's fortune rather than embracing one's true self), "Fame and Fortune," after the initial broadcast; that material appears in the DVD's extras.』
(My favorite christmas movie of all time!) 『Years ago, some friends of ours sent us a VHS tape taped off the air which had several Christmas classics including EMMET OTTER'S JUG BAND CHRISTMAS, FROSTY THE SNOWMAN, THE GRINCH, BABAR&FATHER CHRISTMAS, and of course the tried and true RUDOLPH. Now that the VHS tape is pretty much worn out and my VCR is permanently broke, I decided to start replacing these classics on DVD. Rudolph was the first one I replaced and ever since then I've been addicted to it every Christmas season. I look forward to watching it all year long. The sweet ending makes me cry every time I watch it.
Here is why I did not give this DVD five stars. In the original version when Rudolph and Hermey run away they sang a song about "Fame and Fortune," which was the version I had. In the version I bought they sang a song which was more or less recycled called "We're a couple of misfits."
But nonetheless this is a WONDERFUL movie for anybody ages 1 to 101. So no matter how old you are, buy yourself a copy! You won't regret it one bit.』
(You're Never Too Old for This Classic Christmas Tale!) 『I actually purchased this for my 48 year old housemate for Christmas!
Every holiday season, the little characters come out of the box and get put on the shelf and I heard the repeated stories of how he watched this every year as a child. How he couldn't wait for Christmas so he could see it again. (We're talking before cable and before DVD's!)
So now, he has the timeless gift, which I get to enjoy too because I also watched it as a little girl!
And when the grandkids come over, that's now one of their favorites to watch with Grandpa!
』
(Lovely and excellent !!) 『This is a lovely story for Christmas time made in a special animated technique. I have watched it by first time on TV when I was a child and I prefere this kind of films instead of the modern ones that have a lot of unnecessary technical resources. The story, the technique and the music are superb ! Don't miss it for your children and enjoy it so much as I do.』
(A neglected classic.) 『Charming, well-made, and with nary a car chase or half-clad babe anywhere. Burl Ives' voice alone is worth the price.』 『This classic 1964 television special featuring Rudolph and his misfit buddies set the standard for stop-motion animation for an entire generation before Tim Burton darkly reinvented it in the early 1990s. Burl Ives narrates as Sam the Snowman, telling and singing the story of a rejected reindeer who overcomes prejudice and saves Christmas one particularly blustery year. Along the way, he meets an abundance of unforgettable characters: his dentally obsessed elf pal Hermey; the affable miner Yukon Cornelius and his motley crew of puppies; the scary/adorable Abominable Snow Monster; a legion of abandoned, but still chatty, toys; and a rather grouchy Santa. In addition to the title song that inspired it, this 53-minute tape is crammed with catchy tunes such as "Silver and Gold" and "Holly Jolly Christmas." Those who grew up looking forward to watchingRudolphevery Christmas season will undoubtedly be able to recite the quotable quotes ("I'm cuuuute. She said I'm cuuuute." "Herbie doesn't like to make toys.") as well as anyCasablancacult audience.--Kimberly Heinrichs』 『Christmas is almost canceled because of a fierce storm. Rudolph saves the day with his glowing nose, guiding Santa's sleigh through the snow.』
IPhone 3G used's review (A Classic) 『You would love this musical created just for diehard Peanuts fans. I bought this for my sons to enjoy and how much Charlie Brown brought enjoyment to me all these years.』
(should stay ON broadway) 『We rented this for our 5-year old niece from the library, as she likes the peanuts cartoons (race for your life, a boy named charlie brown, Great pumpkin, easter beagle, etc). I had no idea it was a broadway musical. My niece just sat there staring at the TV, chagrined. A few minutes passed and it couldn't even hold her attention anymore. I gave it an honest try but after 15 grueling and torturous minutes of cheesy song numbers and smarmy antics, I turned it off - my niece didn't even protest (normally she would throw a fit).
I'll admit part of it was my fault, as I assumed it was a plot-driven cartoon like all the others. But hearing the peanuts gang belt out 'heartfelt' tunes like they were in a junior high talent show just didn't feel right - it just didn't seem to fit their characters.
Yes I am aware that there have been various musicals, a couple of which I've seen ("Flash Beagle" at Knotts, as well as "Snoopy" on stage) - none of them really did it for me (I saw these when I was younger).
This posting is mainly a warning to Peanuts purists. If you like Broadway (not just musicals, but BROADWAY), then this cartoon may be for you. However, if you hate Broadway (or musicals in general), then under no circumstances should you buy or even attempt to watch this movie!』

This video presents 49 minutes of the show, combining the familiar look of "Peanuts" animated television specials with Gesner's charming skits and songs, including the title tune, Snoopy's ode to eating "Suppertime," the Beethoven adaptation "Schroeder," the baseball yarn "T-E-A-M," and the sweet-as-a-warm-puppy anthem "Happiness." It should be noted that Gesner's clever score, while inspired by the actual strips, is aimed at a slightly older viewing audience than are most "Peanuts" videos, and that these young voices occasionally strain to keep up with its demands. Still, it's solid entertainment, and for anyone who performed the show in school and wishes there were a stage performance recorded on video, this is the next best thing.--David Horiuchi』
