We bought this movie to show at our Pool Safety for Kids class and the kids love it. The Amazon price is a good buy. Movie is short (11-12 minutes long)which is good for short attention spans.

The Jeff Corwin Experience - Season 1 Review

The Jeff Corwin Experience - Season 1
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The first season of the Jeff Corwin Experience includes 15 episodes (with the last 2 being highlights of previous ones) filled with adventures, nature education, and surprises filmed in different locations in the United States and around the world. Each episode provides plenty of information about different animals, birds, insects, reptiles, plants, ecosystems, etc. Jeff's style of teaching is definitely not dry and boring. Kids will most likely enjoy it. But it doesn't really matter if you are a kid or an adult -- we can all learn something from these 15 episodes.
Disc 1:
1. Borneo: A Wild Man in Borneo
2. India: Riding the Cobra Express
3. Arizona: Land of the Serpent
4. Alaska: Northern Exposure
5. Louisiana: Call of the Cajun Wild
Disc 2:
6. Thailand: The Royalty of Siam
7. Indonesia: Six Days to the Dragon
8. South America: Into the Heart of Darkness
9. Brazil: The River Wolf and the Isle of Serpents
10. Africa: Into Africa
Disc 3:
11. Madagascar: The Land That Time Forgot
12. Panama: Bridge Between the Americas
13. Galapagos: The Living Laboratory
14. Extreme Encounters
15. Snake-tacular

Between the Lions Season 1 Review

Between the Lions Season 1
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this set after purchasing the other DVD sets (The Chap with Caps and more and Hopping Hen and more). I cannot recommend this series enough.It has helped my son to read and he is obsessed with certain episodes such as, Be Pop. It is fun, educational and will not bore you, the adult when watching it. If you are a fan of the Muppets then this show will be good.
This series is one of the few childrens shows that I enjoy watching with the kids instead of silently suffering through and like the Muppets tries to serve both the child and adult audiences. The Ingmar Bergman tribute, Sausage Nose, did not do too much for my kids however, I cracked up.
The later seasons of Between the Lions are kind of inferior to the Season 1 and have a lot more "borrowing" from the earlier episodes. I read it was due to budget constraints and some controversy with the sponsors but who knows? I know that there are a lot of episodes that are on VHS but not available on DVD.
In any case, if you like the show get this whole set. But if you have never seen the show and are unsure whether it is something your kids would love then get one of the other 2 smaller sets.Things to Know:
* the other 2 DVD have many of the same episodes found in Season 1
* the Seaseon 1 packaging is kind of "down scale" in comparison of the first 2 sets;
* Many episodes use other parts of other episodes such as Gawain's Word
* The first 2 sets are more a "best of" of Season 1
* Season 1 is 5 DVDs with 6 episodes eachEpisodes in Season 1 (* shows that it can be found in the earlier 2 sets)
DVD
- the ram in the pepper patch
- A peck of peppers
- Sausage nose
- Red hat, green hat
- The lucky duck
- The Old Man
- A King and His Hawk
- The Roar that Makes Them Run
* Piggyback, Piggyback
* The Fox and the Crow
* Giants and Cubs
* Be Bop
* Touching the Moon
* The Boy Who Cried Wolf
* Fuzzy Wuzzy, Wuzzy
- Lionel's Antlers
* To the Ship! To the Ship!
* The Chap with Caps
* Pandora's Box
* Lionel's Great Escape Trick
* There's a Fly in My Soup
* Popcorn Popper
- Something Fishy
* Hug, hug, hug
* Pecos Bill Cleans Up the West
- The Lost Rock
- Little Big Mouse
* Farmer Ken's Puzzle
* Shooting Stars
* Hopping Hen
Highly recommended and I am glad that I got them. I gave away the other 2 earlier sets as gifts and that child loves them too. I hope that they release the other episodes even though the other seasons aren't quite as good, but not quite as good is still better than other shows.
