Summary: Where is Bob West?
Review: As a parent of two, I guess you could say that I am somewhat of a Barney officianado!! The premise behind this Barney video is truly wonderful, but poor Barney (with a new voice provider) sounds like he has the worst head cold that a dinosaur has ever experienced. The two gentlemen taking over Bob West's role have big shoes to fill (no pun intended) and are falling somewhat short of the mark. The video is nonetheless entertaining, and my 3 year old dances and sings as if nothing were amiss, but I know differently!

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: Okay - I confess
Review: Being a parent, we all want to provide our kids with great educational content that we can easily defend - but this happens to be one DVD that our daughter loves to watch.

I cannot say it is of much deep educational value (if you include teeth brushing and sharing, then you might have some arguement), but for pure entertainment value it's a winner.

Our daughter loves the costumes and songs - so excited by the circus - we're now on the search for the real thing.

Summary: Happy hour for children
Review: Excellent entertainment for children. My 4 years old boy loved the way Barney and his gang where acting at the circus and actually he learned all songs by heart. I myself was charmed by the way imagination is put to work and was attracted to the screen during all the show. The abilities to use the DVD additional features enables us to repeat some of the more cheerful parts of this beautiful production. The sound quality was a little bit under what we were expecting for such a production and that's why I didn't go and gave this film a flat 5. But it is one of the best children film I ever saw and my children would not pass a week without watching this one at least twice.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Barney Super Singing Circus in Spanish
Review: I got this for my daughter in Spanish and she loves it. I was kind of doubtfull at first thinking that she might not like that Barney spoke with a different voice but the songs are great and it's full of non-stop dancing. Even though she already has it in Spanish I would buy it again in English if she wanted. Not as annoying as the regular TV episodes.

Summary: Colorful, but the kids are too grown up!
Review: It is colorful. It is a fun hour to spend with the big purple guy. But that is it. There is zero educational value (except what a circus is like) and Kristin and Kim, two of the kids on the video, are looking a little grown up to me. They just don't fit. (sorry girls!)

Some of the songs are repeats from "More Barney Songs" but they are well produced. It is entertaining, but lacking what some of the other Barney DVD's have to offer.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst, unentertaining show we have ever seen
Review: Kids and Barney talk most of the time.
Sing the same old songs they do in other shows.

They take more time to show the preparation for the show then the actual show (circus). Then, when they finally show you the circus, it is plain boring to watch. They sing, primarily, their old songs and dress in costumes. That is it!
It is not funny or entertaining, I had to fast forward through it most of the time.

I cannot understand how other people had rated it with more than 1 star?? Must be the promoters.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: She likes it, she really likes it
Review: My Daughter (2) has watched this several times (more like 5 or 6) since getting it this past weekened - it's only Wednesday - she really seems to enjoy it. She's even getting into some of the actions that go with the songs. It has replaced her favorite Wiggles video - this is a big deal since we've been watching Wiggles for weeks. I am always amazed at the sets and costumes. Barney, for all it's worth, I am grateful that you keep her entertained and learning. I'm sure we'll be watching the "silly clowns and puppy dogs" for days on end.
