Grandpa's Magical Toys

If you loved playing with toys as a child and you may still do as an adult, this Wee Sing video might be for you. Join Peter as he explores his grandpa's toys with his friends, Sarah and David, and get shrunken down to miniature size as the toys come to life. Follow in the music and magic as they search for a special golden key that holds the secret of being young at heart.

The choreography for some of the songs like "Punchinello" and "The Hokey Pokey" were really cool, and I really like those toy characters such as that clown himself, the Dutch Girl, the Farmer in the Dell, and that Scottish Lassie. I even like the jump rope rhymes seen in that video.

No matter how old you get or what age you are, as long as you learn the secret of being young at heart, you'll always remember how to have fun. That's what Peter and his friends learn in this Wee Sing video. Be sure to check out my other Wee Sing reviews on IMDb.

Let me preface this by saying my little sister used to watch this...this...thing. Constantly. And, it is by far the most annoying, obnoxious video of all time. If you think I am being theatrical or going overboard, watch it. Then watch it again. You've now watched it twice, approximately .2% of the number of times that I've seen it.

It is horrible in the tradition of Barney, yet the children are more frightening in their gleefulness. And who's the costume director for this? If I would have worn electric red Ked's to match my red polo shirt, I would have had my ass kicked on the playground in two seconds flat. They (the children) are also the smug, smarmy happy types who grow up to become like that annoying guy waiter in Office Space.

What is my point? Only to attempt to spare the siblings of any children that you are considering buying this for. To the point that I would threaten to run a kitchen magnet over my sister's tape if not faced with the consequences imposed by my parents. My plan finally settled on putting the tracking out of whack on the VCR when she'd watch it and then tell my parents she must have worn the tape out after once she began screaming. Thank God for technically unsophisticated parents, but be forewarned if you are a sibling in today's world, your parents most likely bought it on DVD and you're probably screwed.

well i would have to say this was my favorite sing-along type tape my mother could have gotten me. i mean i remember watching it with my little brother, wen he was only a year or two old. I've even used this same tape wall baby-siting, it was a sure fire way to get the kids to calm down for a hour so you can clean up the world-wind they left behind them. now of course the plot is dull, and the people are overly happy but its a kiddie program. i would have to say this is one i don't even mind. i find it far more entertaining then Barney and frankly as a kid who didn't like the stupid purple dinosaur, this is a far better alternative. as well i found the life lesions in this tape to be far better presented then in other children's programs. and as i kid i was far more obliged to lesson to a talking crayon then a purple dinosaur that made goofy sound like a genius.

OK, this movie works for babysitting because there are some songs that little kids know and can dance to. There isn't a real plot, it is just for entertaining young children. As for Brian H. I think you can't judge a movie labeled(yes, labeled) for children ages 2-8 if you are decades older. It definitely resembles a lower-budget film, but it doesn't matter for little kids! They like it or hate it, but that is all they really think about it. The characters are bright and go through a range of emotions that children might relate to. Anyway, It was a positive movie, though I like the Disney movies when they are available.

The story has a decent plot and some good life lessons. My 1 and 2-year-old watch it from beginning to end. Songs are plentiful and some might stick in your mind for awhile. Some actors crossover into other Wee Sing titles (Punchinello, crayon, etc.), while others are world-class talent. One of the better Wee Sing titles. All in all, a timeless kid video - comparable to Barney. Most songs should be familiar.

Synopsis: Grandson and two friends are magically miniaturized in a room filled with living toys (mostly dolls and animals). They all enjoy singing songs while playing games. All the while, they look for Grandpa's missing key. The toys all come together in the end to help find the key and get the kids back to normal size.
