Growing Up Wild Box Set (3-DVD Set)

So far we've only watched one dvd and the kids seemed to like it a lot. Hoping the others will be as good. Good amount of time and photography is nice. So yes it's good!

I didn't know what to expect when I got these but I was in search of some nice animal dvds that didn't show everything that happens in the food chain cycle even though it is part of nature but it's not good for toddlers to watch until they are big enough and mature to understand what is happening. When I got these, I pop one in and held my breath, but I was pleasantly surprised, they were nice. The cat Madison is a bit cheesy but my 3 year old loves him. They do show some amimals eating a carcass, dont' remember if it was some lions but they passed it fast enough and nothing too graphic.These dvds were done in the 90's so be prepared that some things are a bit dated but nothing to worry about, if your kids like animals and learning about them, they will enjoy these. I love that each of the 3 dvds talk about tons of animals, some of which we have never heard of. I think we got a good deal too, it was around $21 for all 3 including shipping. Each dvd is over an hour, I don't remember how much but a lot.

These are very old videos so the resolution is not to good but my daughter is very much into animals and she loves these videos

While looking for animal movies for our toddlers 7 years ago we got a couple of used Growing up Wild videos. We loved them from the start and started looking for more. I collected more, but never got all of the episodes, until recently when I bought the DVD package. My kids (the ones who were toddlers 7 years ago) were excited to see the new episodes... and my next set of toddlers are still loving all of them. Madison has introduced them to lots of fun little informational tidbits about different animals... some I had never seen or heard off... read between the lines... I enjoy them too.

We were so excited to get this DVD until we put it on and realized the footage is very dated. Some of the footage is so old it appears almost fuzzy. Just a heads up on the quality, a little disappointing.

I bought this box set as a gift for my grandson. We watched the DVDs together and I enjoyed them as much as he did. While he was exclaiming over the animals and enjoying their antics, I was wondering just how they had captured such startlingly beautiful images. Where on earth was the camera? I didn't see even a shadow on the snow. Really, they are just beautiful, informative, and watchable DVVDs. Oh, and for those who have concerns, the food chain issue is deftly handled; no wounded-wildebeest-devoured-by-lions action here.

My grandson and I watched these movies together over and over and over and never got tired of them. They are very educational. If you are not into animal documentaries, you will be after watching these DVDs. He has grown up and moved on to Star Wars type movies. I would just like to watch these animal documentaries with him again.

The cover on each of the DVD's is misleading. I expected to see a movie about penguins on the DVD with the picture of penguins on it. The movie was about fish eating other fish. Very disappointed in these DVD's.

This DVD set is a complete win for any young viewers (2years - 12years). DVDs have high quality pictures, they are fun and at the same time educational. My daughter saw the first DVD from this series called Bouncing Babies and she was completely hooked on it since. She finds it fascinating. The DVDs present animals in all child friendly scenes. The naration that goes with it is informative and funny.There are three DVDs. Each has 6 different animal groups. With this set your child will have an oportunity to see variety of different animals and creatures to keep them interested. Each DVD is quite fascinating and colourful, actually.We are loving it and so will you and your kids.Andrea,John and Chiara,Toronto

The covers on each of the DVDs were not necessarily indicative of the contents so when my niece selected one with monkeys, she didn't expect to see reptiles. There was nothing on penguins or monkeys. The one on elephants and hippos was interesting while the one on cats could have used more variety.I was hoping for animals that one could consider warm and fuzzy and snakes and lizards certainly did not fit the bill. That might have been more appropriate for older kids. So, all in all, not what I might consider a winner.

I bought these for my 3 year old, she loves animals. These are some of her favorite DVD's, they're full of animal footage, not scary, and watchable for us adults too! There are several shows per disc too, a must for any young animal lovers
