3+ | Marvellous. When we had just bought this for our daughter who was 31/2 yrs, she just loved listening. She became familiar with the traditional musical instruments - like Sheng, Accordions, Serpent sackbut, strings. The story is about a boy Peter who runs out of the gate into the meadows where he learns lesson about life and music circled around animals |

especially Pinnochio, Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and
Seven Dwarfs, Mary poppins, Petes Dragon, James and the giant
peach, Jungle book They are my daughter’s favourites even today.
It is enjoyable not only for the younger children but also for
older kids. Animation is brilliant. Songs are delightful leaving
the kids with a smile and singing along. The stories spread the theme of love, family, friendship, good vs evil making it educational and enjoyable |

Based on Roald Dahl's book- Charlie and Chocolate Factory. It is too......... sweet to resist. It is very colourful. It also comes with colourful mix of songs especially the song sung by Oampa - Loompas. The movie is funny, exciting and comes with lot of imagination. The Candy man teaches us with life lessons - like honesty, loyal, hardwork etc... |
