 Big hit with my 21 month old!Sep 24, 2009
my 1 year old already loves Barney (Marney as she calls him) and so pretty much anything with him singing, dancing and marching gets her excited. She loves the "Keep your sneeze to yourself" song and has actually taken to grabbing Kleenex out of the box and holding them to her nose and going "AH-Choo" like Baby Bop. She loves the "Dino Dance" and gets a kick out of BJ trying to get Jack and Jill to be careful going up the hill. This DVD is good wholesome fun and I am happy to watch it with my daughter and learn the songs so that I may sing along with her.
One of the better Barney dvd'sNov 08, 2008
I bought this dvd for my granddaughter when she was a little over a year old. She loved it then and as she has reached the ripe old age of two, she STILL loves it. What merely catches their eye at a young age becomes new information they learn as they mature and can digest it. The dvd is packed with things a parent can elaborate on and use as a visual to teach the child.
There is also in the main menu, a section that has just songs. For the younger viewers this will be the most interesting. There isn't much talking, just Barney song after Barney song. It could have been a dvd on its own. It's a nice bonus in the package.
Of all the Barney dvds I have purchased this is my granddaughter's favorite (and mine!)
Barney's House is the Best yet!Sep 03, 2007
I am raising my grandson who has developed a love for Barney. I purchased this DVD and he watches this movie more than any of the other Barney's. I really recommend this for your young one who likes Barney. The Big Loveable Purple Dragon?

 A franchise that is really showing its ageAug 21, 2005
Simply put, what we have here is a once-charming franchise that is trying too hard to be relevant and maintain its appeal to earlier viewers who are now growing older. If Baby Bop is aggravating, the her brother B.J. borders on insufferable.
Meanwhile there are only two kids. This may only be a personal preference on my 2-year-old's part, but she definitely responds better to Barney shows when the kids are doing the singing & dancing, rather than a gaggle of costumed dinosaurs. The whole program lumbers laboriously from gag to gag and fails to keep the child's interest, unlike earlier shows.
The dialogue sounds more like it is aimed at 8-year-olds than the younger set. If I had an 8-year-old still watching Barney, I would be getting him professional help rather than getting this video. I'm glad we only checked it out from the library. Ugh.

its okMay 09, 2004
well, our baby sure seems to love it, so that speaks for something. over and over, and over and over. i personally find b.j the most annoying character in the history of television, radio, book, or word of mouth, but if it keeps our 1 year old happy, thats what it is set out to do, and it does it well. i am not sure i agree with these "too much information" complaints, as part of the learning curve is absorbing information. these days kids are on the computer and more savvy than some adults in their preschool years, i find nothing wrong with a "surfing mouse" making an appearance in a barney video. my daughter already knows about the computer, cause she sees us on it - i also dont buy into the "too much talking" argument....our daughter is exposed to much more talking in life than she is people breaking out into song, so i have no problem with this. my main complaint regarding this video is that i can not eat a sandwich anymore without hearing barney singing about pumpernickel, tortilla, and white breads. hey, who makes a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on a tortilla anyway?
