National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

From Amazon.com
You know exactly what you’re getting in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation: another goofball, slapstick comedy of chaos and catastrophe with Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) and family. This time, there’s no traveling involved: Clark and Ellen (Beverly D’Angelo) prepare for a nice Christmas with the kids (played by none other than Juliette Lewis and Roseanne star Johnny Galecki), when their home is invaded by backwoods cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) and his brood, along with assorted other crazy and/or stuffy relatives. Complications, of course, are inevitable. The film is preceded by National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983) and National Lampoon’s European Vacation (1985) and followed by National Lampoon’s Vegas Vacation (1997). Directed by Jeremiah Chechik, who went on to do Benny & Joon and the Sharon Stone remake of Diabolique. –Jim Emerson

5 cartoons not available since the 80's!
 
Review Date: March 19, 2004
Reviewer: ,
This review is for the "Hello Kitty Plays Pretend" DVD.

This DVD is one that was previously only available in the Hello Kitty 5-DVD gift set (which I bought). The cartoons on this DVD are from the 1980's tv show, Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater. They feature Hello Kitty, Tuxedo Sam, My Melody, Chip, Catnip, Grinder and Fangora, who are actors that put on plays. The DVD comes with 5 episodes, and each episode is 10 minutes long. This DVD contains: The Phantom of the Theater, Frankencat, Catula, The Pawed Piper and Rumpeldogskin. I previously owned the 2 Furry Tale Theater VHS and none of these episodes were on there, so they were entirely new to me! I'm a huge Hello Kitty fan and thoroughly enjoyed watching these "Hello Kitty" versions of classic fairy tales. I recommend this to Sanrio fans and anyone with young children!

Product Description

An aptly named album if ever there was one, Not for Kids Only combines the talents of two legendary performers, the late Jerry Garcia, singer/guitarist of the Grateful Dead, and David Grisman, mandolinist and father of "dawg music", a melding of bluegrass, jazz, swing, Latin and Jewish klezmer sounds. On this 1993 recording, the two devoted friends make seemingly effortless music, adapting traditional and old-time folk into a personalised sound so "homemade" (with jew's-harp and tambourine) as to inspire any child, young or old, to pick up whatever's at hand to play along. From the jaunty rhythms of "Jenny Jenkins" to the cornball humour of "Arkansas Traveller" and the laugh-out-loud lyrics of "A Horse Named Bill" ("I had a girl and her name was Daisy / And when she sang the cat went crazy"), this album, with Garcia's delightful hand-drawn cover art, tickles from top to bottom. --Alanna Nash

A Great Album For Kids and their Parents
 
Review Date: March 15, 2000
Reviewer: Jonathan Keller, Weston, Florida
All I can say is my daughter loves it, and I love playing it for her. The songs are catchy and fun, and Jerry and Dave's voices are such a pleasure to listen to, especially after suffering though Elmo, Barney and Friends, and other "kid's recordings". Also, exposing children to the music of Jerry Garcia and Dave Grisman is a very good for them, and it gives me a thrill to see my child enjoying their music, just like I do.
Uncle Jerry and Uncle Dave over for a visit...
 
Review Date: July 20, 2000
Reviewer: Eddie Finn,
This is a truly special recording. David Grisman and Jerry Garcia pick their acoustic way through a tasteful selection of children's classics, including a humorous 'Arkansas Traveler', a rousing 'Ain't No Bugs on Me', a rollicking Teddy Bear's Picnic', and a soothingly sleepy lullaby, 'Shenandoah'. A must-have for acoustic folk-style musicians, though enjoyable for just about anybody, this one comes to you with excellent production values and really neat cover art (wish I could find a print suitable for framing).

While you're at it, check out other Grisman/Garcia CD's for equally excellent music and production ('Shady Grove', 'The Pizza Tapes'), or Woody Guthrie's classic 'Songs to Grow On', perhaps the greatest children's album ever.

the real thing: engaging, wonderful music
 
Review Date: July 4, 2000
Reviewer: Patrick Tufts, San Francisco, CA USA
This is a favorite with every kid I know. But what do kids know? They listen to Raffi. *

From an adult perspective, this tape is amazing. The playing is superb and intelligent, the lyrics are sincere, heartfelt, and often pull-your-leg funny. Grisman and Garcia play with and off each other beautifully.

The musical skill here is extremely high, but feels unforced and simple.

For example, listen to the song "Arkansas Traveller" about an encounter between a city slicker and a country bumpkin:

Slicker: Well, hello stranger.

Bumpkin: Why, hello stranger!

Slicker: Yer corn looks awful little and yeller.

Bumpkin: I planted the little and yeller kind.

[cue duet]

Listen to the banjo and mandolin duet of turkey in the straw; the playing is quite intricate and beautiful.

What's right about this tape: it entertains and engages without once stooping to dull playing or insincere, tired singing. Unlike Raffi, for example, this tape never feels like an act.

Recommended for any kid. Also, any adult who likes good acoustic or folk guitar. This is a tape I play all the time, whether or not kids are around.

--Pat

* Please, no hate mail from all 15 of you adult Raffi fans. I know the lyrics to Baby Beluga and I'm not afraid to use them.

INCREDIBLE ALBUM FOR BIG AND SMALL FOLKS
 
Review Date: March 23, 2000
Reviewer: Joesht D Raggman, no where
This album is so much better then your typical musical garbage for kids. This is why 1] High quality music and musicians 2] Sincere musically and emotion 3] GREAT Variety of instruments and styles on everysong 4] Songs kids long to here again and again 5 Songs you will like to hear again and again, unlike most children's albums which make you want to run screaming for the run after the fiftith time.

CHECK OUT woody guthrie's - songs for to grow on for mother and child. Probadly the best children's album ever.
