This review is from: Bear in the Big Blue House:Pot (DVD)
Jim Henson's continued genus! His puppets are so much better for children than cartoon shows. They are easier from a neurological standpoint.
Love the characters, set, music, songs & animation. Bear is terrific and should be a TV show. I agree that this is not a hard-core potty training video. However, my daughter loves it and wants to sit on the potty after watching it - so thats good enough for me.
This video has 3 chapters and only one is about the potty. The other 2 are completely unrelated. I agree with one of the other reviewers that the "Shadow" segment is weird and patronizingly "Bronx-like". The shadow puppets are a nice idea but, should tie in with the theme of the show and be relevant. I wish the entire thing was about potty training. Overall,this is a fun, upbeat video that may not have heavy instruction but builds awareness. I recommend it.

Not that motivating, but cute, Mar 15 2006

My daughter, 2 1/2 doesn't want to watch it very often. I think it's cute, but it just doesn't seem to motivate my kid. My 1st choice in movies is "Potty Power". It's been pretty effective. Maybe this will work better for you, if your kid really loves Bear in the Big Blue House.

Potty Training Playtime, Nov 9 2006

As with all the Bear in the Big Blue House videos this DVD was done with fun music, great characters, and a lot of tact. If you are in the trenches of potty training or just starting this is a really fun and relatable DVD for the our little friends. We loved that fact that they even addressed pooping on the potty. This is often an issue not dealt with on other videos and often the hardest task to master. Other issues that Bear deals with are staying clean and dry, accidents while your trying to get there and you have to stop playing and go. The song "You're a Toileteer" has been sung over and over by the whole family. Of course we will love not talking about the toilet, someday. But since that doesn't seem to be anytime soon...We love our Bear!
