Win Pet Roundup
I'll get to the point: I have another giveaway!
Nice folks at Disney sent me two of their latest DVDs for kids: Little Einsteins: Flight of the Instrument Fairies and Handy Manny: Manny's Pet Roundup.
The bad news is I got only one copy of each. So I figured I'd review one, and give the other away. The good news is someone is going to get a brand-new copy of Handy Manny's latest DVD!
I have a love/hate relationship with the Little Einsteins. What I love about the Little Einsteins shows is they focus on music and art, and their global culture is a bonus. You always find out the composer of the music and the name of the artist whose work the show is based on (no matter how loosely). The Little Einsteins characters, though, do things that just aren't logical. For example, they have Rocket. They can and do fly anywhere in the world with Rocket. But on this DVD in The Puppet Princess episode, when Leo, Annie, Quincy and June have to get three puppets that fell out of their traveling puppet theater back to the theater in time for their show, what do they do? They walk through the forest. Another strange thing is there don't seem to be any other people in the Little Einsteins' world -- not at the puppet show, not at the Glass Slipper Ball or anywhere else that I have seen. A show that can manage to combine the art of Andy Warhol with the Blue Danube Waltz and hold kids' interest while doing so is OK, though.
The DVD includes four separate episodes and some nice bonus features. You can preview the Flight of the Instrument Fairies here and Little Red Rockethood here.
Now for the Handy Manny giveaway! Manny's Pet Roundup DVD has four episodes with Manny (Wilmer Valderrama of That 70s Show) and his talking tools. You can see a preview of Gopher Help here, and another fun preview here. All of the episodes have to do with animals. If you have an animal-loving kid, this DVD should be a lot of fun.
To win, just leave a comment at this post, and I'll use random.org to pick a winner on Saturday.
Update: Random.org picked the fourth commenter, Sandy of Momisodes! Congrats!

Cute stuff. But if I win (I KNOW I won't I nevern do - well hardly ever, I do win once in a while over at Lady Language, but I can never find a bra that fits!) I want to give it to Sandy at Momisodes, 'K?
hehe Becs had a super big crush on Manny when we watched the show. Now that we do not have cable she does not see him anymore, but man she used to just gush whenever he was on. It was adorable.
I'm in. They sound like something my little one might be interested in the near future.
I also tagged you for a six quirky things meme, if you haven't done one before, swing by.
OMG! Lou is such a sweetheart :) I have a blow a little kiss at his comment above- XO
I hear you on the Little Einsteins. My daughter seems to watch them, but Annie....Oh her singing! Drives me a bit batty.
Handy Manny is fun. He's such a sweet character, and thankfully none of his tools sing ;)
Sweet! Although my son is starting to be a traitor on the Einsteins for Thomas the Tank. OY. Talk about an expensive show!
We've never seen Manny but I bet the K Man would love it.
Yay for Handy Manny! My son loves that show!
Both of my boys love Handy Manny. Any DVD would be loved here to stop my 15 month old from singing Dora's backpack song over and over.
Thanks for the great giveaway :)
Oh pickmepickmepickme! Random shmandom!
Ok, so do tell, how DO you get Disney to send you stuff to review? I am ALL in there.
