Grandpa's Magical Toys

So back home in Atlanta, a select group of friends and myself have secretly been huge fans of the movie Grandpa's Magical Toys ( I usually refer to it as Grandpa's Magical Toy Chest..I don't know why...). We memorize the songs, we recreate the dances, we practice the hand claps. And although we are all truly terrified of the scene where the beaver gets up close to the screen and shouts "HAMBONE!" we watch it over and over again. So when I arrived at Georgetown University and met my roommate it wasn't exactly the kind of favorite movie you would bring up the first day of conversation. But as the weeks passed and we became closer, I casually referenced my favorite movie of all time. To my utter joy and surprise, my roommate was also a HUGE fan. And now we can share in the glory of the best musical sing-a-long children's movie ever created. It brings laughter, tears...I just can't even describe how wonderful this film is. I truly believe that it will forever live on in movie history in all its cinematic glory.

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.

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.

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.

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.
