The Little Cars, Vol. 5: Big Adventures

I bought 3 of these videos for my 2 yr old Grandson and he loves them, Hes all about cars.

We rented this from a redbox because I let my two year (almost three) old pick out his own movie. We suffered through three of the episodes. Then we turned it off. I should have stopped the dvd when the first episode was about the "Greaseter Car" (Easter Bunny?!)At one point two cars slip another car a mickey. The dialogue is just inexplicable. It's like they wrote the first draft and that's what they used. A third grader could have written more compelling dialogue.As a mom who has sat through hundreds of hours of preschool programing without any real complaints I am telling you do not buy it. Do not rent it. Stay away. Choose something else.It doesn't bother me so much that they ripped off "Cars" the Pixar/Disney movie. It bothers me that they did it badly. Basically they steal good concepts and execute them poorly. And that is such an understatement that it pains me to leave it at that. There are no words in the English language to describe how terrible this dvd is. I would rather watch a Barney/Wiggles/Doodlebops weekend marathon than watch one hour of this dvd. I would rather have the Wiggles to my home for dinner than watch this DVD.If this dvd had been purchased and not rented I would have backed over it with my own "little car."Please try Thomas the Train, Sid the Science Kid or anything from Sesame Street, Playhouse Disney or Nick Jr. instead.

Perhaps I'm being a little more suspicious than the other reviewers, but I don't believe this is just a cheap, knock-off of Disney's Cars. There are loads of inappropriate and almost subliminal content in this DVD. DO NOT BUY or rent or borrow from the library, as we did and let your kid watch it. A few examples include cars telling each other to "shut up" a VW with a pentagram for a hood ornament...
