Clifford - Clifford's Schoolhouse [VHS]

This is a very special show for me. When I was younger, every week day morning I'd wake up, eat my breakfast and watch Clifford the Big Red Dog and then go to school. This show would always put me in a good mood. Now, as a teenager I honestly still love Clifford the Big Red Dog. Now I know most teenagers don't watch Clifford but I personally think it's a great show for all ages. Clifford the Big Red Dog has positive messages for kids and I personally think its enjoyable entertainment for older viewers.Thanks to Norman Bridwell (author of Clifford the Big Red Dog) and Scholastic we have Clifford the Big Red Dog, one of the best children's shows ever made. The cast for Clifford the Big Red Dog is perfect. Clifford is voiced by the late (sniff) irreplaceable John Ritter. (I mean really can you imagine another person voicing Clifford?) Clifford has three best friends, Cleo, (Voiced by Cree Summer) T-Bone, (Voiced by Kel Mitchell) and his owner Emily Elizabeth Howard. (Voiced by Grey DeLisle) Some of my favorite episodes from the series are "Tummy Trouble," "Mac's Secret Dog Club," "Screaming for Ice Cream" and I could go on and on.When I found out they're DVD's of Clifford the Big Red Dog I started buying them almost instantly. (I only have a few more to go) In this "best of" there are a collection of five DVD's. They have all been previously released but if you have not bought these Clifford the Big Red Dog DVD's already you should purchase this collection. (It saves you a lot of cash)Clifford the Big Red Dog DVD's usually have around eight to ten episodes on each disc. But I wish we had the episodes in their entirety. Unfortunately these DVD's don't feature all these segments in an episode, but all's not lost. In the bonus features I was relieved to see they still had a few Speckle Stories and Clifford's Big Ideas. (Hopefully one day Scholastic will release seasons of Clifford the Big Red Dog)The Best of Clifford has five discs contained in a plastic box which doesn't scratch the discs at all, and a pamphlet that features the episodes just in case you forgot which discs they're on. Since you might not know what episodes are included in this set I'll list them below.The first disc is the DVD Everyone Loves Clifford! And Good Friends, Good Times and the episodes included are;Jetta's Tall TaleEveryone Loves CliffordClifford Grows UpCyber Puppy ProblemsWelcome to the DoghouseA Friend in NeedStinky FriendsJetta's FriendFriends ForeverForgive & ForgetThe second disc is the DVD Doggie Detectives and the episodes included are;The Kibble CrookDoggie DetectivesWho Moved My BoneTo Catch a BirdMac's Secret Dog ClubThe Truth about Dogs and CatsGood-ByeT-BoneMagic Is in the AirThe third disc is the DVD Rock N' Roll Clifford! And Team Clifford! And the episodes included are;Dog House RockFan MailStage StruckEmbarrassing MomentsThe Great RaceBasketball StoriesShort-ChangedLucky CharmThe fourth disc is the DVD Look Out, Clifford! And Big Fun in the Sun and the episodes included are;Clifford's Charm SchoolBest Paw ForwardClifford's HiccupsAn Itchy PatchCamping It UpHooray for CleoHome Is Where the Fun IsLights OutAnd the fifth and final disc in this "best of" set is the DVD Clifford Saves the Day! And Clifford's Fluffiest Friend Cleo and the episodes included are;Stormy WeatherIslander of the YearCircus StarsClifford on ParadeFluffed-Up CleoCleo's Fair ShareFriends, MorningNoon and NightTwo's CompanyThe bonus features for these sets include segments from the television show like Speckle Stories, Clifford's Big Ideas and Real-Life Doggie Friends. Some extra features included are Trailers, (wow that's some special feature, oh brother) a tour of Birdwell Island, a who's who game and learning the Clifford dance.This is a very affordable Clifford the Big Red Dog collection and I recommend it.

While my kids (a 4 year old boy and a 2 year old girl) like Clifford, he's never quite made it onto their A-List of must-see kiddie TV. That being said, they do occasionally ask to watch Clifford, and this collection is a boon in that it contains over 40 episodes, so they can watch all of Clifford they want without their Mommy or me having to watch the same handful of stories over and over and over.The collection contains 5 DVDs, and are packaged so that the DVD case isn't much bigger than a single DVD case. The case also comes inside a little plastic box with Clifford's face on it, which was a nice touch. The stories themselves are cute, inoffensive, and contain gentle messages about sharing, playing nicely, and so on.While there are more Clifford episodes out there, this collection contains all of the Clifford I'll ever need, and it represents a good value for the cost.

If you already own several other Clifford DVDs, then you probably should skip this since you'll probably get a lot of repeats. But if you're just starting to collect Clifford, this is a must have. Rather than buying 5 separate DVDs, you can get this wonderful collection for a fraction of the cost. There are literally hours and hours of shows on this collection, and the fact that they come in a neat tin case is also nice. It may not have every episode you want, but for the money you can't beat this collection and it makes a great start or centerpiece for your collection. Our daughter loves this show and we take this collection with us whenever we travel. There are so many episodes she can watch Clifford the whole vacation and not run out of episodes to watch! Definitely worth it!

My little precious one watches this all day long!. When she wants to watch it again, she takes me by my index finger and leads me to the DVD player, and then makes a howling sound LOL! But, my little one loves dogs, so... it depends on the child. We took this with us on a trip to Hawaii and this (along with Tinker Bell) kept her preoccupied throughout our 3 weeks of driving on Maui.None of that Carton Network crap you don't want your kids to learn from.

We love Clifford, this box doesn’t close so that’s annoying, but it was used. I am disappointed that this set doesn’t include all of the episodes.

The dvds play perfectly but the case fell apart as soon as I opened it and all the dvds fell out.

Great my daughter loved it

My youngest son started watching Clifford on PBS this summer (my older son watched it when he was younger). He truly looked forward to Clifford, but the programming changed with the start of the Fall season. I ordered this set because I wanted a variety of Clifford shows to watch instead of the same one over and over and over again.This set is great! All of the discs are easy to use and are organized quite well. The exceptional PBS quality show is now ready for us to see just about any time! John Ritter and the rest of the cast make this show so much fun for any age to watch. The graphics are great, the music is great, and the story line is classic.I wasn't expecting the cute little plastic case that came outside the box. I am not sure what else it might be used for as it is not really strong enough for a storage container. We will probably end up getting rid of that part. The CD case holds all of the CDs inside quite nicely.If you like Clifford, this is the ultimate CD pack to buy! I highly recommend it! I know. I have already seen them all about 10 times each, and Clifford is a daily routine in our house now!

Excellent service. many thanks and well done a wonderful addition to my daughters collection as she really loves her video

My son loves it he watches it every day lol. Clifford calms him down i think its the big red dog

とてもほのぼのとしたお話で，小さい子から楽しめます。対象は２歳から７歳くらいといったところでしょうか。男の子でも女の子でも，どちらにも向いています。英語もとてもきれいであまりスラングなども使っておらず教材としても悪くありません。ほのぼのとしていてとても良いのですが，その反面インパクトが弱いのでうちの子は５回くらい見て飽きてしまいました。もっとも３回くらいまでは喜んでみていましたし，何回で飽きるかはその子次第だと思います。迷っている人は，一つ買ってみても良いと思います。決して悪くはありません。

とっても大きいクリフォードにもこんな小さな時があったのかっと思わせてくれるエミリーとの出会いや、初めて島にやってきたときは大きいだけ、トラブルを起こすのではないかと島の人たちに当初は誤解されていたなど、思い出話になっています。今までにクリフォードを見たことのある人には是非勧めたい１本ですが、キャラクタ紹介のような感じになってしまって、従来のお話の良さが欠けているいるように思います。ですからクリフォードのビデオをはじめて買おうとしている方には既に成長しているクリフォードのお話をお勧めします。

簡単な英語で、１０分ほどのストーリーが４話入っています。それぞれのストーリーに、メッセージがあり、ほのぼのしていて何度見てもあきません。犬が主人公なので、男女問わず楽しめます。英語がわからなくても、１０分のお話なので、ストーリー展開が速く、画面を見ているだけで、あらすじが分かります。おすすめのビデオです。
