Product Description
From Amazon.com
Sugar, Pepper, and Salt continue their efforts to graduate from apprentices to full-fledged Season Fairies, while inadvertently causing problems for their human friend, Saga. Sugar and Saga still squabble, and when Sugar writes an apology, she inadvertently defaces a musical manuscript written by Saga's dead mother. Everyone's life is further complicated by the arrival of Elder, the chief of the Season Fairies, who's trying to find a way to declare his affections for Ginger the Rain Fairy. Salt helps Saga's friend Phil create an artificial aurora, although why he switched from opposing Phil's experiments to aiding them isn't clear. Sugar epitomizes the Japanese fondness for the hyper-cute. These saccharine mini-adventures may appeal to small girls, but few boys will enjoy them. The combination of adorable little characters, squeaky voices, and aggressively wholesome stories will set adults' teeth on edge. (Rated 3 and older) --Charles Solomon
Video Details
Season Fairy apprentices Sugar, Salt and Pepper are busy everyday searching for the "Twinkles" they need to become full-fledged fairies, but the "Twinkles" are nowhere to be found. Far from that, they have no idea what the "Twinkles" look like. One day, the Elder of the fairy world appears. The three apprentices ask him for help but he scolds at them that they have to find it by themselves. On the other hand, Sugar practices her magic every day and night wherever she goes. At last, it annoys Saga so much that she gets in a fight with Sugar. Will they be friends again...?

Vol2: more mayhem, more heart, more fun,
By
This review is from: Sugar: A Little Snow Fairy: V2 Friends And Dreams (ep.5-8) (DVD)
Vol. 2 continues with the adventures of Sugar, Salt and Pepper as they try to discover "Twinkle" and become full-fledged season fairies. Ok so it's uber kawaii, but it's not annoying and actually is much more interesting that what i just described. the apprentice fairies are so cute and funny and fun to watch and this dvd also introduces 4 other fairies, opening the way for more mischief. episodes 5 introduces choro-sama, 6 and 7 are crucial to the development of sugar and saga's relationship and 8 gives salt a little more screentime. this is definitely a show for parents to watch with their little children, as it's heartwarming, lacks significant violence, and teaches values of social relationships. a little snow fairy sugar is one of the nicest show i've happened to come across:).

Gets Better and Better,
By Nurse Washu (South Burlington, VT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sugar: A Little Snow Fairy: V2 Friends And Dreams (ep.5-8) (DVD)
The second DVD picks up where the first one left off, but with the elder of the Season Fairies showing up. However, he's not there to help out with the apprentices' quest for "twinkles", but to declare his affections for Ginger the Rain Fairy. This is all done in the spirit of fun and playfulness and comes off as being rather silly and cute. Parents have no need to worry about him turning into Master Roshi or Noboyuki Masaki.Beyond this point the focus of the story switches away from the apprentices' search for "twinkles" to the lives of Saga in eps. 6 & 7 and Phil the inventor in ep 8. Up to now, Saga is shown as a very lighthearted character, but in these two episodes we get to see a darker side of her. The way her inner sorrow is presented is somewhat simple, but that's fine for children, and for those of us that can relate to Saga's experience, a detailed presentation isn't necessary anyway. This simple approach also prevents the show from becoming very emotionally heavy and getting bogged down and depressing. Phil's quest to produce an Aurora artificially, is interesting, but not because he succeeds with the aid of magic. It's a good story because of his dogged determination. Time after time he fails, but Phil never gives up, never lets go of his vision. Apprentice Sun Fairy Salt is very impressed by Phil's hard work and determination, and thus is able to perfect the magic technique himself. Somehow Mr. Solomon completely missed this point. Some wonderful episodes, in a series that just seems to get better and better as it goes on. ^_^

Just as good as the first.....,
By "aqua_foxillusion" (Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sugar: A Little Snow Fairy: V2 Friends And Dreams (ep.5-8) (DVD)
The second DVD is full of fun, fantasy and friendship, just like the first. If you have seen the first one and loved it, you are garenteed to love the second one. It's great for the whole family. The on-going adventures of Saga and Sugar will entertain you!
