Customer Reviews

excellent
i bought 2 of this dvd because its absolutly brilliant i used to watch as a kid, so i bought it for my 2 children and also for my 2 nephews. i would recommend it to any adults to buy it for their kids, grandkids, nephews and nieces for birthdays or christmas

5...4...3...2...1...Blast Off!
My three year old is a quiet child but every now and again I hear that countdown coming from her bedroom where she's gone to re-create what she's seen on Button Moon.

We stumbled upon a clip of this program on youtube (I'm American and never saw it as a child) and from the first moment my daughter laid eyes on that yellow Button Moon, she was transfixed. The set and puppets are ingenious because they look as if they were made from recycled products or things you can find in your own house. The "special effects" look as if there's a shaky invisible hand guiding the rocket through Blanket Sky. The story lines are simple (many based on popular fables) and make no attempt to appeal to adults in any way. It is the perfect antidote to the slick, empty tripe that makes up so much of children's programming today.

We've had this video for a year now and my daughter still loves to watch it and I don't feel guilty when she does. While it is not exactly an educational program, it seems that it was made by someone who clearly understands that children don't need flashy, chewed-up programming. And really, we do them a disservice when we offer it to them.

If you're looking for a high quality program for your toddler/preschooler, that exercises rather than dulls their imagination, well, look no further.

Even better than I remember
I vaugley remembered loving this as a child so bought it for my son when he was 16mth. Was very impressed it's even better than I remember. Bright, good old fashioned stories with great puppetry, my son loved it (still does at 20mths, put it in the DVD himself). I also quite enjoy watching it (how sad am I!!!)
