Mums review: Overall this was a different type of film to what they would normally watch. It was a nice, magical film of discovery and also discussed feelings and emotions with a witch turning people to stone to stop them feeling certain things. There wasn't too much "sea" type activity, but the film had a lot of fantasy which the girls liked. It had a nice ending which the girls enjoyed, however there were some sad parts which may be upsetting to some viewers  (Charlotte got upset at the prospect of not having a mum which featured in the film).

Review: I got this DVD for my birthday and watch it all the time. Tiddles is a tortoise and he gets out of his box and gets stuck in a tree. I like watching how naughty Tiddles is.

Review: I enjoyed this dvd because it is full of interesting things about animals. I wish it had more animals in it but mummy says its supposed to be about British animals. I think boys and girls would like this dvd.
