5/5 Great New Format on the New Hi-5 DVDs!
  by Patricia Whorton (Memphis, TN United States)
The DVD's are great, and they are a different format than the three previous releases (Game Time, Music Magic and Color Craze) Instead of having three shows from the same Theme of the Week, they have bits of each theme, and three themes on each...does that make sense? Ok here ya go.....

Move Your Body DVD has bits from

Five Senses

Move Your Body

and North, South, East and West (CPP - my favorite)

Action Heroes has bits from

duh, Action Hero

T.E.A.M (another fave)

Underwater Discovery

It's very refreshing to see three songs instead of seeing the same song 6 times on a DVD, with two back to back.....much less irritating for dads and frazzled moms!

Plus, the Move Your Body DVD has the best skit ever....Captain Puffy Pants baby!! WOOT!!! That is absolutley the most hilarious skit ever....Everybody does a great job on that skit, and they especially did an awesome job at the MYB tour....(shhh I heard they did it special for me...hey...it's not bragging if it's true!!! he he!!!---hey I wonder if they put CPP in the commercial and the new DVD for me too......a girl can dream!!!!)
The dvds are durable, so if you entrust your techno gizmos to little ones, they are perfect....they are brightly colored, so it will catch the eyes of the little ones at the store...

If you want a fun and eduacational show that will have your kids singing and dancing and learning about shapes, music, numbers, vocabulary and using their imaginations, this is a great show that will have the whole family singing along...a great buy!

5/5 The BEST $30 I spent during Christmas!!
  by Mary J. Walker (Oklahoma)
I bought 2 of the videos for my 2 yr. old grandson, and it's all he wants to play with! Animation and cartoons don't hold his attention, but he thinks he is right there dancing with the other kids! Every episode we have watched on tv has had some kind of lesson, AND it's alot of fun-singing, dancing, and storytelling. I'll be ordering the rest of the DVDs for Easter baskets and birthdays!

5/5 The AMERICAN Hi-5 is QUALITY entertainment
  by Razzamatazz (Pennsylvania)
We have been following the American Hi-5 for several years. As noted in another review of this product, there is also an Australian Hi-5. Some people only know the Australian cast and like anything - what you first learned is probably what you like best. Well, for us, the AMERICAN Hi-5 is the only Hi-5 we know and they are wonderful. Some people might compare them to the Wiggles in the type of children's show that they deliver since it is all "real" people performing as opposed to animation. However, unlike the Wiggles, the cast of Hi-5 is very diverse both in ethnicity and gender. It is wonderful to see a diverse cast harmonize so well in their songs and play so well together in their skits.

If you are unsure whether Hi-5 is for your children or not, you can watch them on Discovery Kids or the Learning Channel early in the morning on weekdays. Check your listings for the exact time since it changes from time to time.

I would just like to add that we have met the cast of Hi-5 a few times in the past when they performed in Malls and at amusement parks. Each of the cast members are genuinely interested in the children for whom they are performing. There is no doubt that the children are why they do what they do. They are starting to tour again now and if you can see them perform anywhere near you I think your children will love the show.

5/5 Daughter can't get enough
  by amu234 (Nashua, NH)
My 3-yr old daughter LOVES this DVD. We just got it last week and it has been played almost every day. I think she's already memorized most of it :-) Would highly recommend for any Hi-5 fan. I like that they don't play the same song over and over like in previous DVDs and we were happy to find "Senses" on this one!

5/5 Get up & dance!!
  by MomInTEX (Austin, TX United States)
We love Hi-5!! Each episode not only educates your child (on subjects like food, senses, animals, etc.) but really gets the kids up and moving. It is very hard for a child to watch this show without getting up and dancing, clapping, & singing with the Hi-5 gang. This show also puts emphasis on social skills like friendship, manners, and self-esteem. We really like the new packaging on these dvds, it just adds a bit more to the fun of Hi-5. They have a handle so the kids can carry them around--great for taking to grandma's!!
