Customer Reviews

fun and educational
My 3-yr old son loves this DVD for its catchy songs and lively footage. He watched it every day for the first couple of weeks, and still requests it regularly a year later, so the whole family has got most of the songs memorized. I like that the DVD shows some footage from the wet season in Africa, not just the dusty dry season that you usually see. And they talk about predators and prey in a kid-friendly way, exciting but not scary. We also like the "Hanging with the Primates" show that comes as a special feature, and the interactive quiz and animal sounds features. It's a very polished, engaging DVD that our whole family enjoys.

So Nice... I had to buy it Twice
We originally got this DVD as part of a set for our 3 year old son. He absolutely loved all four of the DVDs in the original set National Geographic's Really Wild Animals Gift Set, but this one particular DVD got cracked somehow after we'd had it about 6 months. I thought, oh well, he has about 50 DVDs, he won't miss one. About a month passed, and I was sure he'd forgotten it. No so luck. He suddenly started asking almost every day for his "safari with Spin." We tried slipping in various other adventures with Spin, but he kept insisting he wanted the safari. So I bought it again, and peace has been restored in our household.

This particular DVD is one that our animal crazy son has loved for more than a year now. It had enough cute music and beautiful animal shots to interest him when we was two, and now that he is closer to four he is still enjoying it. There are a lot of interesting animal facts in it, which he is eagerly soaking up. (This is probably his favorite in the series, although he also loves Deep Sea Dive.) As mentioned, he requests it often, and it is educational enough that I don't mind letting him watch.

Awesome!
I used to teach elementary school, and I used the Really Wild Animal videos in my classroom. My students loved them! I purchased this video for my grandson who is an animal lover. He thinks it is great. The movie gives great information for science and geography while presenting the material in a fun way.My grandson has already requested more movies.
