Masha and the Bear 37 Series Russian + English Sound Licensed Edition + GIFT Masha Hair Pins. Bonus: Karaoke songs with Masha!

8/23/14 I Ordered this from bunny express on Amazon about 2 months ago. My 5 yr old and 3 yr old love Masha and the bear. It is a Russian cartoon that we found on youtube. Even in Russian the little girls voice and facial expressions are adorable. The kids love it. I ordered this DVD because it has the option to play the episodes in english. The bix and disk are all in Russian. I googled some words and figured it out. I don't know if the disk is formatted dufferently coming from Russia, but it will not play on our older DVD player even though it plays +\- R dvds? Oh well it does play in our Dodge Journey and on a toshiba portable dvd player. We just run a/v cables from the portable to our old Sony +\- R dvd player a d it works fine. One note the english versions are the same stories as the russian one's however the little girls voice is different a bit lower, but still very funny. It is also nice to know what they she is saying. We watch both translations they are just adorable in any language. Very fast shipping like 3 days or so and in great condition. I was very pleased and the kids love it. :)

We love watching Masha and the Bear on YouTube, but there are only a few episodes that are in English. We were thrilled to see this DVD was available with an English soundtrack. The DVD arrived quickly and in perfect condition. At first, we weren't sure how to play the English soundtrack because everything is printed in Russian. After a few attempts, however, we finally figured it out.It has been a real treat to watch all of our favorite episodes in a language we can understand. We hope more episodes will become available in the future. Masha and the Bear is a breath of fresh air when it comes to children's programs! No propaganda or educational messages. Just pure fun in a beautifully animated format that can be enjoyed by adults as well as children. Thank you!

Our 2 year-old chants "Masha, Masha, Masha" every morning. She loves these cartoons, and I am thrilled that they are actually pleasant to listen to in the background. The music is really nice, and the stories are wholesome. I'm event learning some Russian, which is a big bonus!

We came across this series on YouTube and even though Masha speaks Russian, my 4-year old great-grandson laughed his way through every episode as the warm-hearted bear endured the antics of precious Masha. The DVD took only 2 weeks to arrive from Russia -- and now it seems there's a "prime" option as well. There was also a nice Masha keychain and instructions for the two menu options to select English. As one reviewer warned, the DVD did not play on my regular US DVD player (made by Samsung), nor did it play on my computer with the GOM media player I normally use, but the free VLC player (from [...]) works fine with a little trick -- after selecting the menu items for English as instructed, which still seems to do nothing, go to VLC's "Playback" menu, select "Chapter" and then "Chapter" again, and you'll be at the menu (in Russian) where you'll be able to select an episode. It worked fine on my Win 8 desktop and also on a Win 7 laptop. The only drawback is that only the dialog is in English; text items (such as signs and the bear's schedule on his alarm clock [which Masha will overturn anyway]) are not subtitled in English. But the story line is easily followed in any case, so that matters little.

I bought this for my 4 years girl, she love it and we watch it all the time on youtube and she was asking if we can watch it in english, and this DVD was exactly what she wanted, great fun for all the family, my 1 1/2 year boy love to watch it as well, overall I am so happy and the kids love it.

I got started watching these with my granddaughter in Russia and became hooked on them there. There's a minimum of dialogue so even if you don't speak Russian you can still understand the plot of the shows. They do tend to be somewhat repetitious, but are always enjoyable. Masha is the loveable "Dennis the Menace" type and the bear is a more patient version of Dennis' neighbor Mr. Wilson. The computer graphics are superb. I really can't think of anything about the series that I dislike - very well done.

My 2.5 year old Loves Masha & the Bear! The animation is fantastic! However, after watching it in English I would recommend keeping it on Russian. Her voice isn't as cute in English & she is pretty whiney, as well as, mishchievious! This show doesn't aim to be educational either. Still a fun additional option to entertain little ones 😊

My English speaking children stumbled upon this cartoon thanks to a streaming video web site. They watched the videos and found them funny even though they don't speak a word of Russian. Getting this video was great as you can easily switch the language to English. The kids loved being able to watch this cartoon and understand what was really going on with the content. I have a few Russian friends and they were well aware of this duo. Thank you for making it available to US buyers!
