Hi-5: Animal Adventures, Vol. 5

There are many volumes in this set and they are all excellent and wholesome. Volume 5 is one of my favorites! Our grandchildren from age 6 months through preschool, are spellbound as they listen to the music and watch the wonderful animation and dancing. Of all the DVD's they own, the Hi-5 series is ALWAYS what they want to watch. This DVD is equally enjoyable for adults, though children through age 6 and even older would enjoy it. It is especially good as children are encouraged by the jivey beat to move to the music and not just be spectators. The young actors and actresses do a great job involving the audience, and real children and animals often interact with the cast.

My daughter loves this DVD. It keeps her attention, and allows me to get a few things done. I don't mind the songs either. The tunes are catchy. I like that all the segments are about animals. The editing of the video is poor.

Love Hi-5! my 15 year old use to watch them all the time. I love the skits and songs. I bought this for my 8 year old. WE were watching them on You tube but I wanted a DVD! They are so adorable and I am keen to this group and not another season group.

My kids and I both love Hi-5 but I was disappointed that the songs "living in a rainbow" and "ready or not" are not on the DVD as advertised. Had I known this I would have picked a different one with more songs we didn't already have. There's also some places that are horribly edited and one song even makes a loud scratching sound before it comes on. This isn't an issue with all of Hi-5's DVDs, just this particular one.

My girls LOVE Hi5, but it is on too early in the morning for them here. Having the videos are great!! I was so happy to find them on Amazon! The Easter Bunny left 5 of them for my girls and we have already watched 4 (Easter was just yesterday!) They'll probaly watch the 5th one before the end of the day!

My kids love this video. They sing and dance. It is one of the few that keeps the peace with both of them. I have a 6 year old and a 3 year old. I would order another Hi-5 DVD again.

My daughter loves Hi5 and this DVD. The songs and dances are fun. She can watch it all day (she does actually...). For the entertainment value I'd give it 5 stars. However, I was also expecting some educational element to it - you know, like Barney or Sesame Street but with more fun hip music and dancing. I was a little disappointed because it is primarily about entertaining kids and not about any targeted teaching. For that I gave it 3 stars. Perhaps it has something to do with what other reviews have indicated about poor editing and that `the DVD seems to be a compilation of episodes rather than exact episodes'. Perhaps that's why it seems choppy to me and lacks any targeted teaching.

i had this dvd for my first daughter 5 years ago i could not find it recently for my 2nd daughter shes 1! until i looked on here and she loooooves it! so glad i found it!

There is an initial song that my kids try again and again to dance and copy the movements. After it, there are lots of different sketchs about music, nature, dancing... it is educational and at the same time very entertaining. My kids love it and I am confident because they are learning at the same time (even if they watch it again and again and again... you know kids...)

My 2-year old daughter loves Hi-5 and I just couldn't find their DVDs in stores anymore, since they discontinued the series in 2007. I located a few different DVDs on Amazon at a great price. The delivery took a bit longer then I expected - I ordered 3 DVDs on December 4, 2010, from the same supplier. I thought this would be plenty of time before Christmas. But I only received one DVD before Christmas while the other two arrived afterwards. I also would have expected that the shipping costs would have been reduced, but the supplier charged me the same amount for each DVD and shipped them separately. Once received, we were satisfied with the products.

Hi-5はオーストラリアでよく観ていて、持っていたので新しいのを・・と思いこちらで購入しました。私の持っていたのとはメンバーが変わっていましたが、曲は同じものが多く娘たちも違和感なく気に入っています。こちらの音楽は大人が聞いても楽しめて、そして英語の歌も子供も歌いながら踊ってみています。

My son loves hi-5 so I bought this for him although as I bought them from USA the quality of the picture isnt great but they do play.

ふだんNHKの「いないいないばぁ」を見せていて、英語をと思い買ったら、番組が2007年以前の製作のようで、画面も3:4だし、演出も手作り感満載で今どきじゃないです。こんなわがままを言ってるのは親だけかもしれませんが…。あと、歌と踊りが日本の文化とはかなり違うなぁというのが最初の印象です。もうちょっと今どきなヤツを探してみようと思います。
