Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Kids



too scary
The antagonist in this movie is a very scary looking ghost-white spider with a big human-like face, a huge chin and sharp white teeth contrasting against a blood red mouth. He made me raise my eyebrows just before sending my three year old screaming and running from the TV. He shows up in the background in the initial wedding scene, when Miss Spider is getting married, muttering something about why isn't she with him; odd content for a young audience. Then he shows up mouth wide open ready to gobble one of Miss Spider's eggs that was dropped from a branch on the way to the egg sack. The egg does get rescued by some flying bug in the knick of time. We just stopped watching the movie after this point. We won't be watching it again until I know which scenes to skip a priori.

Spiderific!!
We've been playing this DVD for my daughter since she was about 8 months old and she enjoys the colors!!

They're just so vivid that it caught her attention early on and she hasn't let go. Now, at 16 months, she still enjoys watching it while she eats on her high chair and it's the only way to keep her still for a while.

We bought this DVD with a package containing Stellaluna at Costco, and a freebie for the High Five musical group, but nothing has caught my daughter's attention more than this DVD. Growing up with the Disney movies myself, I tried to get her into those movies but they're simply boring for her (of course, she's too little ;-)

Of course, I've enjoyed it, too :-) and always play it for visitors, children and adults, and they always get hooked.

My wife is always laughing at us because my little one and I just get into the movie and don't pay attention to anything else, that's how good it is!!

Two thumbs up!

Adorable!!!!
My daughter Lily loves Miss Spider. I rented this for her and she has watched it every day. I"m going to buy it for our vacation. The movie has all the bright colors like the book and the voice of Brooke Shields as Miss Spider. It is not loud and it is very soft and well done. The DVD has extras that are well worth the money. David Kirk reads the book and there are also more stories. Miss Spider also talks about all her kids and their names and personalities. You can't miss with this purchase and get the book too.
