    A good, fun-filled flick for smaller kids!

    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.

    i agree, this is the BEST movie ever HAMBONE HAMBONE

    THIS IS....WITHOUT A DOUBT...the best movie ever. Like that person from Atlanta, I am also obsessed with this. My cousins and I know all the different parts. Our favorite character is the fat kid in the green shirt who plays the air saxophone is a spasmodic way. Its so funny...i die laughing every time. But of course...the absolute best part is the HAMBONE DANCE. its so scary and enthralling at the same time. when the beaver comes up really close...ahh thats quality entertainment. and how they cant ever touch their knees because of their costumes. great ahhhahahahahahahaha i love IT the beavers name is ruby burns and I'm her biggest fan.

    a video for every child

    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.

    Great for kids!

    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.

    A Good Video For Little Kids

    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.

    • Trivia
      When Grandpa mistakenly calls David Leonard, this could be a nod to Leonard Nimoy, the actor who played the Vulcan Spock in Star Trek on account of David's Vulcan-like appearance.
    • Goofs
      In the jump-rope scene, Sailor falls down in one shot while Punchinello recites "Mabel, Mabel". But after the rope changes into two double dutch ropes, he stands up in another shot with Peter. In yet another shot, he sits down on the floor while next to David and Peter who are standing on the left side.
    • Quotes

      Peter: How do we get big again?

      Punchinello: With the key, Peter. The secret is in the music box and the key.

      Peter: It is ?

      Punchinello: Yes. Remember the sparkly dust? It came from the music box.

      Peter: You mean the magic dust made us small, and the key will make us big?

      Punchinello: [excited] Yes!

      [serious]

      Punchinello: But it will only happen if you are young... at heart.
