Summary: Stories Good but Format Annoying
Review: ...lack of a menu. There is no way to choose specific episodes-you just have to skip through the chapters and even those do not break at obvious places. My daughter likes to watch DVDs with the captions on (she learned to read at four so I guess that helped) and that option is not available. Might as well buy the video instead--it's a bit cheaper and at least you can look at the counter to determine where the episodes are.

Summary: The whole family loves Angelina
Review: Four stories from the PBS television series. In each tale Angelina faces difficult challenges. The stories are:

Ballerina Rag Doll - Angelina faces maturity as she gives up her baby things to help others. But Angelina might not be ready to part with them all. Or is she?

Angelina's Surprise - Angelina is jealous of the attention being given the Twins and their new sibling. Angelina tells a lie that snowballs out of control until she admits her mistake.

Arthur the Butterfly - Angelina finds a beautiful injured butterfly while on a picnic. Angelina has a hard time letting it go once it is healed but learns her lesson when she becomes trapped.

Alice's Present - Alice gives Angelina a new gym bag that through a mix-up winds up donated to charity. Alice thinks Angelina did not like the gift and a friendship might come to an end.

We love the stories, the music and the voice characterizations. A fun video for young girls, and some boys, with lessons for everyone.

Summary: No menu makes this impossible to navigate
Review: While my daughter enjoys watching the episodes, it is frustrating when she wants to see the live action segments at the end. There is no menu in order to skip over the cartoon episodes and go straight to the live action.

Basically, we have to skip each chapter until we get to the last chapter in an episode (the DVD won't let you skip the last chapter), wait for the episode to end, and then do the same process for each of the remaining episodes until you reach the live action.

It seems like the makers of the DVD just recorded the VHS version onto disc and left it at that.
