Grandpa's Magical Toys

I saw this at school once in music class, and as an adult, it looks cheesy, but I remembered this was made for younger kids.

So, this is part of the Wee Sing line of videos aimed at younger children, which all focus on singing songs aimed at preschool and kindergarten levels. In this, three kids, Peter, David, and Sarah visit the grandfather of Peter as the toy maker is looking for a special key. While checking out the toys, David bumps into the bookcase, opening the music box and shrinking the three to toy size, which also causes the toys, led by Punchinello the clown, to come to life.

Yeah, this may not look good in today's standards, but it is a good video. The cast of characters are charming, from Punchinello, the friendly clown, to the Muffin Man, to a talking cookie jar, the costume designs are well done for a kidvid. Also, the movie teaches a good lesson about friendship and being young at heart, no matter how old you are, and has some good songs.

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.

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.

I thought that the movie was very funny! especially David! i don't know y any one would hate it! i thought it was very fun, and Bright! i think that the actors were great!!! the singing was REALLY GOOD. I always borrow it from my library,i laugh so much!

i sing along too, and do the hand shakes, i love it! actually i love a WEE SINGS,i love the silly ville one, and, BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAINS! WEE SING is fun, educational nd loving. i may be a little old , but it still entertains me! i think every kid should watch them, even us bigger kids we need to still play, and laugh. we learn every day and we need to actually enjoy those moments! what a better way to, then by watching WEE SING!!!!!!!!

This movie is one that my 2 year old loves!.

He dances around and sings the songs with the characters on the screen. It's nice to have videos that you don't have to worry about your children imitating bad actions or language.

The songs they sing are old favorites and it's a pleasure to hear my son sing songs I learned when I was little.

I wish there were more videos out today like the Wee Sing collections.

Yes, the actors and music is childish, but isn't that what we want our children watching? After all, it says on the box that it is aimed at 2-8 year olds.
