Customer Review: Old Fashioned, Boring, Waste of Money, Terrible
My 2-year old daughter got "Mickey Saves Santa" DVD for her birthday and absolutely loves it. I purchased this DVD thinking it would be similar, but no! Mickey's Around the World in 80 days looks like it was produced 30 years ago - very old fashioned animation and the 'educational' aspect is also very dated. I give this 1 star because my 2-year old would not watch it at all despite it saying it is appropriate for 2-6 year olds. An older child may find it more interesting. It seems to me that Disney is re-hashing old material and packaging it in a new box. Skip this DVD and get "Mickey Saves Santa" which is highly appropriate for a preschooler, with up-to-date animation and 3 wonderful interactive stories.
Customer Review: Overpriced
Hitting in an "educational" DVD! Disney please stop!!! What "leading educators" reviewed this and shame on them! Recycled cartoons interspersed with very few questions/learning facts, done in cheap animation. Cheap pop up Mickey pops up on world map saying hello/goodbye is the education highlight. Other than that they pause the cartoon and ask a few boring questions. My son was bored as he kept looking for animated Mickey. The 80Days cartoon is ok, but I didn't purchase a "cartoon" I purchased an Educational DVD. Disney does not have the "magic" of teaching.
