educational with great 3d

I have all the imax 3d movies  but this is my favorite.  Educational and I think the 3d is very good.

I remember seeing this in the theater when I was young.

The only thing missing in this presentation is the 3D effect it had in theaters.

At 3 years of age, our son has learned to tell time (e.g. months, days, hours, minutes), and identify money and it's value through the use of these DVDs.  Also, the shape DVD is an excellent resource that described both 2-D and 3-D shapes in a fun way for kids.  They learn about octagons, heptagons, hexagons, pentagons, trapazoids, rhombus(i.e. diamond), squares/rectangles, ovals, circles, cubes, spheres, cones, and more.  Well worth the $50 price for this 3-set collection.  Highly recommend for young advanced minds as a starter to all these real world concepts!

Update 10/2012:
My kids watched these up through about grade K.  I do not think they would  be well suited for older children - first graders, and up.  I think the Rock 'n Learn video series would be better for older children.

Here are links to the Rock 'n Learn videos which are better suited for older children:

My 6 (almost 7) year old first grader is doing 6th grade math.  He learns at a much faster rate than most children due to long attention span and amazing memory.  Did these videos help him - I think so.  Our 5 year old Kindergartner is doing 2nd/3rd grade math work.  If you have young quick learners like my children, I would like to recommend to you the following videos while your children are still very young (5 or younger):

Leapfrog has some very good videos for preschool children as well, but the material does not tackle anything higher than single digit addition and subtraction.

Beautiful gift, illustrations come to life in 3D. Nice addition to the movie, for young ones to see up close.

Wonderful.  This book is 3d.  The fish are raised as are many other opposites.  It is simple and direct and my 20 month old granddaughter loves it.

Wonderful 3D and a great movie for the whole family. Even the skeptical people in my group enjoyed it ;P

I grew up watching wildlife specials, many in black&white, by the BBC and David Attenborough. He is an amazing biologist with an equally attractive command of the spoken word. This set of 3d blue-ray disks blows me away. Already, I've watched the twice. Many great hours of immersive viewing in excellent 3d effects. If anyone is interested in nature, even a little, and you have a new 3d tv, then you need to buy this cheap, educational, highly factual entertainment.

Cute characters, engaging story and humor, what's not to love?!
The 3D effects are also great, much better than in the movie theater.  There are lots of reviews online about whether or not to buy certain movies in 3D, almost everybody says this one is worth the upgrade.  My kids and I agree!

This is a great movie and the quality of the 3D is wonderful.  I like the fact that it came w/three discs and along w/our guests enjoying the movie, one guest was lucky enough to leave w/1 disc of their own!

This review is for the 3D version of the video.  The movie and story are classic.  This is one of our favorite Disney animation movies.  The 3D enhances the picture and we find it a worthwhile feature.  Highly recommended.

Great movies....... I thought I'll try this movie to give a little insight and education to my son and his cousins, but it turned out to be much more. This item viewed very well on a regular blu ray, no need for 3D player but also displayed awesome on my Sony 3D player! The movie also allows you to choose a setting to watch it without commentary..... Which makes a great screen saver. Well, imagine a 55-60 inch TV with excellent pictures/movies about coral reefs, fish wildlife, beautiful  scenes and music! So I've used this movie when showing a listing. Very nice!

Coraline is a great story about discovery and consequences, and the 3-D works quite well--with a caveat.

There are two settings: "real world" and "other world" and when Coraline enters "other world" the 3-D can get a little overdone such that it is hard to adjust. But in some parts, even the true color (not the green and magenta images) doesn't track and can cause double images.

At the beginning, there is a doll that floats in from far away, and the 3-D is "wide" enough that the two images balk being resolved into 3-D. This happens regularly throughout the movie. Sometimes a tunnel that is stretching away will also stretch your eyes as you resolve the picture. It can be done if you are practiced with seeing "Magic Eye" images (this is a good site: [...]), but it can be a strain. I have had to stop and rewind or just pause and look at the scene again.

I am very practiced at the 3-D technique, as I have used 3-D machines to make contour maps from overlapping aerial photography pictures. My job required regular use of the 3-D technique employed in Magic Eye and 3-D movies.

Take the time to get acclimated to the 3-D vision by suffering through the ads. Also, if you can refrain from looking away from the screen--or obscuring your vision in either eye by up-ending a drink-- it will help preserve the 3-D effects. Stick a straw in your drink.

Fortunately, there is a 2-D version on the disk as well, and if you either can't see the 3-D or are tired of trying to resolve it, the movie is just as good in the 2-D version.

Coraline is very curious and brave in a movie that takes a bored and frustrated young girl on a journey into a fantasy world that entices--perhaps a little too much. Coraline is savvy and confident.  She uses her wits and pluck well to confront new situations and face danger head on. She stays true to herself and takes responsibility for her own actions and experiences. She's a great role model for children in my opinion.

This documentary is short but a lot is packed into that time period.  The 3D is excellent and the science is firmly on track.  You feel like you are among these giants of the past as they lumber past or come off the screen at you.

The 3d effect is awesome. Our little one uses it as a lunch box. He loves the graphics and the fact that it has a key.

My son has been watching this from when it came out, and while he is now three, he still enjoys the video.  He totally loves the animated clown, just as he enjoyed the toy commercials of the rest of the videos :-)  Isaac the lion is totally adorable, and I much prefer that he watch this rather than grow up too quickly and watch Toy Story et. al.

He learned all of his shapes and COLORs too from watching this video after just a couple of times watching.  We watch all DVDs together always, and about those complaints on 2D tags for 3D images, watch with your child! fold laundry near them, and ask them questions and talk about what you watch.  And its a good thing to recognize that a pyramid is made up of triangles and so on. After watching the video, he was able to recognize the 2D shapes underlying objects in our 3D world. This video IS a great addition to the series. This is teaching a toddler simple concepts, NOT teaching a 7 year old geometry.

A very fun movie for both children and adults alike. I really enjoyed it and the 3D was pretty good too.

We purchased game for our 3 1/2 year old granddaughter for Christmas along with the Vtech VReader.  This game is fun, educational and interactive.  Bright vivid display holds roaming attention spans.  The level of difficutly increases after each level is mastered.  Definitely recommended.
