4.0 out of 5 stars a real little nostalgia trip, 31 Jan 2004
By A Customer
Hands up all those who remember watching this on TV every summer holiday in the 70's?????? Here's a tip for those who wish to see it on DVD and don't possess a multi region DVD or the appropriate TV....buy it from the German branch of Amazon as I did. The English narration that you remember from all those years ago is available on the disc.....

So what is it like after all those years? Well, the quality of the picture is really good on DVD, really vibrant colours. I think the real problem is that it would be rather too slow for todays kids, who expect things to move at a much faster pace. Maybe we just had longer attention spans in those days. Also, the special effects were rather poor even for something made in 1950s Eastern Europe. The bear make up is really laughable. So do I recommend that you buy it???? ?Absolutely..but for yourself to wallow in the nostalgia and also the beauty of cinema of half a century ago made for kids with rather different expectations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, 22 Jul 2006
By Book Heaven (Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews
I have been trying to find this on DVD, at a reasonable price, for a number of years, so was very happy to finally be able to buy it on Amazon UK.
The quality is superb, and it was great fun to watch again - it brought back lots of childhood memories.
The DVD is better than my childhood experience, though, because it is filmed in such amazing colours.
The english narration is a new version, I believe, but still very good, and true to the original (as I remember it).

3.0 out of 5 stars Good idea!, 2 Mar 2004
Well done our Greek friend! I had been looking for this DVD for ages so it was a real surprise to find that it was readilly available as an UK import at the German site!! Why not from the UK site? Beggars belief!
