Overall, fun and educational...

I agree with another reviewer that the Chanukah show is a bit more entertaining than the Passover show, but both have some good, creative songs and are imbued with simple lessons about the true meanings behind these two holidays.
Some of the highlights of the Chanukah show include a really cute number Shari and Lamb Chop do in the kitchen while making potato latkes, a comic bit about how Chanukah is spelled and how the "Ch" should be pronounced, and a very creative and catchy song entitled "The Eight Nights of Chanukah"--which is sung to the tune of the Twelve Days of Christmas.
Among the highlights of the Passover show is a number that Dom DeLuise and Shari perform together. But there's one scene with Robert Guillaume portraying Pharaoh that could be a little scary for little ones because he looks and sounds very mean; even the way he is filmed is slightly distorted.
There are plenty of corny moments within these shows, some intentional, some not. Especially corny are some of the scenes with the 'stars'--Alan Thicke in particular seems to really enjoy playing the cornball. You may have moments where you're rolling your eyes at some of the jokes. And some of the non-musical scenes can run a bit long. But all in all, there's no denying that these shows were made with the best of intentions, and they are entertaining and educational. Clearly, everyone had fun making these.
There aren't a lot of Jewish holiday specials out there, so give this a chance. You won't be disappointed. |
