I always want the aliens set just for the extras, but 3 and 4 are weak weak weak and I have the SE of Alien.

*nod* I've got the Alien Legacy box set, and I can't bring myself to justify the double-dip.

[robyn-ma.livejournal.com]

I double-dipped. I still have the old Legacy set, probably gonna donate it to the lie-berry.

[yendi]

I'll eventually double-dip, but it would take the combination of an amazing price (60% off or more), along with a situation in which there wasn't another DVD I needed more. It's an unlikely combination, but it could happen.

I do enjoy the Quad. But I also enjoy owning things. So I may not be the person to listen to.

[yendi]

Not to mention, "Legacy" sounds less annoying than "quadrilogy."

*cackle* All too true.

But for like 30 bucks...

Nope. Don't need it.

Nope.

DAMN YOU!

DVD Recommendations

What DVDs would you recommend for Mr. Archer - 3 years old, likes Super Heroes and Pokemon, his mother would like some of it to have some educational value but isn't militant about that.

His Pop-Pop wants a list and I don't have TV (I have a box that connects to my VCR/DVD player) so I have no idea what to tell him, but I know you do!

Re: DVD Recommendations

Hmmm. That's a tough one, not least because I never had to look into kid's programming below the age of 6.

That said, what about the Magic School Bus stuff? The Amazon reviews mention four-year-olds watching and loving them (and Archer is certainly smart enough and then some to watch stuff that typical four-year-olds watch).

Elayna was definitely a big fan of Bear in the Big Blue House and Clifford when she was younger, too.

Alas, there are no DVDs of Krypto the Superdog, which I suspect he'd love (there are toys and books, though).

Thanks!
I was thinking more along the lines of Batman: TAS and its ilk.
Maybe Wallace and Gromit, which he might get on a slapstick level ... that kind of stuff.

Re: DVD Recommendations

[yendi]

Ah, gotcha -- I was veering a bit much into the "educational" side of things.

For regular fun, Wallace and Gromit's shorts are great. He might or might not be ready for Batman: TAS (it can get intense at times), ditto the Superman: TAS (which was very underappreciated). He'd probably love Teen Titans, too.

Agreed on the intensity of Batman. My daughter digs SuperFriends and watched both sets religiously. She's also mad about Teen Titans, so I can second that one.

Re: DVD Recommendations

[shellefly.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Teen Titans is a great idea - hadn't thought of that one.

My son adored the Thundercats at that age, and I noticed they are on DVD when I was cruising Amazon the other day.

The fact that Band of Brothers is fifty percent off fills me with more joy then is expressable in words...
