5.0 out of 5 stars wow!, 17 Oct 2004
What an amazing DVD! My two year old daughter has been brought up on the books by Julia Donaldson, so she is very familiar with the Gruffalo.The DVD was an instant hit, the characters are so well crafted and together with the actors impecable timing, the story of the gruffalo comes to life. The story itself stays the same, but inorder to fill its 50 minute running time each of the animals are given a song to reflect their characters, watch out for the brave mouse, the cockney speaking Fox, Captain Owl, of the Woodlands Airforce and the salsa dancing Snake... oh and of course the star of the show The Gruffalo.

From start to finish this is a fantastic stage show, which works very well on DVD. My daughter and I love everything about it, so much so I have just ordered copies for everyone we know!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very impressed, 5 Jan 2005
By Richard Kelly (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
I must admit I was a little bit wary of getting this for my children, as I couldn't work out how you could make the story of the Gruffalo last long enough to make a stage show out of it. I needn't have worried as this is an excellent rendition of the book as a stage musical.

There is a cast of 3 - one as the mouse, one as most of the rest of the characters and finally one as the story teller/gruffalo. Each of the characters is brought to life through songs, which are simple enough for children to sing along with, and the characterisation of the animals is wonderfully done. The story never feels dragged out and the action never really stops until the closing credits. All the lines from the book are in there and if you have enjoyed reading the story to your children they will probably shout them out at the television.

I heartily recommend this to you 10/10

5.0 out of 5 stars The Gruffalo DVD, 18 May 2005
FAB,FAB,FAB excellent. We all totally enjoyed it from our 15month old daughter who danced along to the songs to my husband who actually watched the whole dvd! excellent family viewing i have read other reviews and remember someone saying it was difficult to distinguish what animal was being potrayed. I have to say my son Thomas who will be 4 in july new exectly what animal was what. He loved the dvd to bits and is constantly reciting the Gruffalo song. My recommendation is if you dont buy you might regret it.

I ordered this DVD for my children (aged 6 and 3) as they are "Gruffalo mad"! They can both recite the storybooks of The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child by heart. Read more
