My thoughts…So one thing I have to admit is…I’ve never seen the Wizards of Oz all the way through – just very vague bits and pieces here and there. Alas, I somehow know most of the story line, because I have seen many references of the movie. So when I was given the opportunity to review Fresh Beat Band’s version, I jumped at the chance. Not only are my kiddos HUGE fans of Fresh Beat Band, but I also wanted them to enjoy the old classic in a kid friendly & relatible way!

They typically watch the dvd’s we get for review a hundred times over and this one was no exception…I actually think it burned out our blu-ray player that is not working at this moment. Luckily we have a back up/regular dvd player. Anywho, they’ ve seen it several times with Daddy or with me in passing – but I recently got a chance to sit down with them and really watch it. The kiddos were singing along, dancing & telling ME what was going to happen next. I loved that it has regular Fresh Beat Band episodes too! But the Wizard of Song movie was great, especially because they brought in an actress I was familiar with and could relate with, given this was a bunch of kids episodes!
