5/5 The best kids learning tool.... timeless
  by Irish (NC)
I had this album when I was a kid and loved it. I still remember and hum the tunes 35 years later. I am now buying it for our grand kids. What a wondeeful way to build your child's self esteem and to show them that it is ok to just be you whoever that may be!
And the biggest bonus is the cast of characters and the fabulous actors who play them!!!

5/5 so fun!

This DVD holds up well, although it amazing how far we have come since it was first in TV! No one cares if a boy has a doll anymore (I hope!). My daughter loves this DVD, especially the Mel Brooks/Marlo Thomas baby part!

4/5 Love it!

It is just as I remembered it. My 3 and 4 year olds loved it! The messages are wonderful and the songs are engaging. It could stand a little digital remastering, though ~ it's pretty old-school video.

5/5 Love It!!

This is a very good video, it's not only entertaining it's educational. My 4 year old granddaughter wants me to play it all the time.

5/5 Timeless and nurutring

When I was a youngster back in the 1970s I had "Free to Be..." in book and vinyl record form and was hooked on both. I memorized the stories, learned the songs, and felt so empowered by the gentle advice to be yourself, follow your dreams, and not let anyone tell you what you should think or how you should act.

That message applies today, as much as it did 35 years ago, and those who have yet to see this DVD or read the book or hear the CD are in for a treat.

Yes, the visuals are VERY 70s, but the retro look is part of the charm.

My kids watched the DVD and were transfixed. Twice a day for a week, they couldn't get enough of it. My son had a friend over for a playdate and as they went to watch this DVD, I heard my son say, "You've GOT to watch this, it is SO COOL!" I can think of no better recommendation.
