The GiggleBellies Musical Adventures Volume #1

I first discovered Gigglebellies on youtube. The song was 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' i was trying to find a gentle song to calm my 18 month olds temper as his cartoon had just finished and needed him to settle before bed. Joey was captured from the very first giggle to the very last second, Joey fell in love as did I and my 2 other sons aged 9 and 10. From there we discovered what then i didn't realise was to be the magical song to fix everything. (As a tantrum starts, i press play and that second it ends, to help him sleep, to settle him when his brothers leave him to go to school.) 'Old McDonald Had A Farm'The characters turn up in most of the 9 songs on this DVD, Bucky the horse, Betty the sheep, Pickles the pig, Kissymoo the cow and the ultimate of characters Fribbit the frog. They are colourful ( im english btw) consistant and loveable in so many ways, The songs have a wonderful tempo to them, with happier bouncier videos at the start for day time use and the slower songs to the end of the DVD. The way the DVD is can bring excitment and calming is wonderful and very well thought out. I enjoy watching this just as much as my children do and love the modern ways they can bring old songs back into our lives in such a modern way and completes this nicely with new songs.

Ordered this DVD along with Volume 2 after watching the songs a countless number of times on YouTube with my son (I found them by chance while searching for kid's nursery rhymes/songs).My son has recently been addicted to and refuses to watch anything else but the brainy baby DVD's which are all wonderful, but I finally managed to change the DVD today (just received the DVDs) and he was hypnotized! He couldn't believe that what he had been watching on the small iPad was finally on our large screen TV...His favorite song to date is: the wheels on the bus. And he'll literally play it on loop!! He has loved music from a very young age, and this just gets him up and dancing!The animation is very colorful, has lovely images and keeps a toddler focused for longer than most other (educational/music) DVD's.A nice touch too, is that after passing my order through Amazon, I actually received a personalized email from the founders thanking me for my purchase and letting me know if I had any questions or suggestions, that I could contact them directly. Much appreciated!All in all I would recommend this to any mom who enjoys sharing musical experiences with her toddler... These DVDs are a lot of fun, and at times have little twists from the original songs.

We first bought a Giggle Bellies DVD over a year ago after finding a clip on the internet. We were desperately looking for something to calm and distract our toddler who was really distressed one night when we were away from home. He was immediately soothed and engaged by the visually stunning imagery and delightfully catchy music. We have since bought other DVDs in the collection for our family and have even given them as gifts. They are always a hit with the little kids...who happily dance and sing along. Even older kids and adults inevitably become mesmerized. The art is something out of a rainbow-infused dream...the characters are totally adorable and sweetly surreal. The songs include cherished ones from my childhood as well as some new ones that have now become favorites. The music is fun, catchy, and calming/upbeat (depending on the song); and the singers have a wonderful vocal quality. I would TOTALLY recommend this visual-musical adventure! Kudos to 3D Magic Factory for creating a high quality product as well as for their great customer service.

Soooooo...I bought this DVD on Amazon based on the reviews. I just needed something to keep my 1 year old a little occupied while I fixed dinner and cleaned up. When I first got the DVD, I thought the characters looked a little weird with those big bug eyes, but I put it on anyway. Once I pressed play, that was it. MY DAUGHTER WANTED TO WATCH THIS DVD AGAIN AND AGAIN! She was mesmerized by the catchy songs and colorful animations. We put this on repeat for her all the time now. She's watch it so much that she doesn't need to look at the TV anymore, but does the actions and sings the songs off of memory. I now have a 9 month old, and this is also her favorite thing to watch. I also enjoy the songs, which are a mix of updated classics and a few original songs (I think). Great buy! Both my kids love this DVD.

My little girl (2) has watched these videos on YouTube for the last 6 months or so. I'd planned to buy her the DVD but hoped it would be available as a download at some point, so waited. Anyway I couldn't make her wait anymore so ordered a copy from the States (I live in the UK). The seller let me know it would take a while to arrive - it was due to take about a month. However, it arrived after a couple of weeks. We've had this dvd out of the packaging for about an hour and already it is being played for the second time.If you are in the UK and considering buying this, I don't think many people to will be dissappointed by this product. The songs are very catchy, and the animation is brilliant. Overall this is a quality DVD that will be watched time and time again.Still think it would easier to buy as a download though.

My toddler son absolutely loves this DVD. It's really cute and unique and the songs are so catchy that I find myself singing them all day. I have two complaints though: First, I wish the DVD was more educational. There's really only one song on there that is educational at all (an ABC song) and the rest are just for fun. I wish they did shapes and numbers and other types of things. My second complaint is that when I play the DVD on the television, it's WAY too bright and full of movement. I let my son watch it on our computer but I will not put it on the TV because I'm convinced it's going to destroy his vision. I have a hard time looking at it because when it's that big, there is just way too much movement and color.
