Free to Be...DVD

Great DVD. Just as good as I remebered it as a child. My children love it. It is definitely a '70's piece, but the topics ring clear today too. Lots of music and many differnt stories make up this DVD. Every child's collection should have it.

The best children's entertainment ever

What's to say?
Free to Be You and Me is timeless, brilliant, and super fun for kids of all ages.
Great cast, wonderfully imaginative songs.
Too bad nobody's making an updated version!

If I could pick just one DVD for my daughters, this would be it

My daughter now talks about being a police officer and pretends to direct traffic. She practices running races like Atalanta and my toddler asks me to show her the babies and she sings "free to be" all day long.

These stories and songs influenced me, opened the world to me, and they do the same for my young daughters. I remembered every word from my own childhood and sharing this with my daughters is emotional, special, and worthwhile.

Anyone who says female empowerment is no longer necessary is (1) not female; and (2) doesn't have daughters.

I credit these lessons with my sense of social justice and I hope my daughters develop this as well.

Dated? you've got to be kidding!

Buy this DVD. Just do it. Lessons like equality, self realization, bullies and gender stereotypes are more needed in today's 'modern' life than ever. So what if the technology is out of touch when the message isn't!

What is a 2 year old going to know of technology anyway? Mine loves good old sesame street over the fancier fare availble; and, believe me, I've tried to get him into more modern stuff so I can bear to sit through it.

We complain that they spend hours in front of the TV and on Nintendo DS. They're just kids in the end and is it them or us succumbing to advertising or the cool gadets out there? Before they get too jaded try out 'Free to be...' on them.

Remember: We've read where parents said the DVD was too dated but I did not read where their kids said 'hey mom this DVD is soooo 1970's I just can't watch it'.
