Soup - Nature Babies
Em-bry-on-ics,
Division of Munchkin, Inc.
Watching this videotape is an experience that parents and
children really savored. Sweet,
sentimental and lighthearted, there is some truly remarkable nature footage of
mothers and babies in the wild. Using
a nice musical score, there are some truly wonderful moments between mother and
baby caught on camera. Some of the
footage provided our testers with some real belly laughs too.
The iguana knocking a bee off his tree limb, the springing, enthusiastic
monkey, and the bird chasing his tail feathers had the kids rolling on the
floor.

What cold be cuter that watching baby animals at play?
Not much, and you'll find all that cuteness bundled nicely into this
engaging videotape. The vocal
stylings that Hap Palmer lends to this sweet video helped to make it a real hit
with our testers. There is a nice
blend of animation and live footage of children and animals that made the time
in front of the TV filled with fun, singing and laughter.
There are some old musical favorites like Old MacDonald, mixed together
with some new compositions. Our
parents singled out one titled "Amazing", which points out how truly
remarkable our world and the creatures in it are.

Soup - Mozart Nature Symphonies
Em-bry-on-ics,
Division of Munchkin, Inc.
This sweet nature video is easy on the eyes and ears for both parents and children. The disclaimer at the front end of the tape encourages shared viewing and parents told us they were glad they followed the advice. A wonderful score featuring familiar and not-so-familiar Mozart symphonies plays under terrific footage of all types of animal life. You will be truly amazed at some of the eye opening photography. The close-up work really brings the nature of each creature in focus and by watching their movements and expressions, children really got caught up in the spectacle. Don't miss the tree frog's self-cleaning ritual…it's amazing.
