    A great Wee Sing video for the young, and for the young at heart.

    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.

    For 2-8 year old kids

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
