Based on the books by children's author Marcus Pfister, the adventures of the Rainbow Fish and Dazzle the Dinosaur are brought to life through animation. The Rainbow Fish tells the story of a beautiful fish so mesmerized... more » by his own sparkling scales that he fails to realize how his vanity compromises his friendships. In Dazzle the Dinosaur, Dazzle and his pal Maia take on the mean Dragonsaurus to win back their home. Featuring songs and quaintly drawn characters, the two shorts teach lessons about sharing and courage. At 15 minutes apiece, these animated cartoons have a wholesome message to impart, they're not condescending to their kids & family audience, and they make for a great rainy-day diversion. --Shannon Gee« less

"My 4-year old daughter likes The Rainbow Fish, but she especially loves Dazzle the Dinosaur. It is a story about how two young dinosaurs, Maia and Dazzle, reclaim their family's rightful home from the mean Dragonsaurus. She especially likes the video musical score ". . . it's all about courage, believing in yourself . . ." as the two go about their mission. My daughter also has the book, which we read to her at night."

"It is very cute 2 stories. My children (3 and 5 year old) liked it). But remember it is only 30 min DVD. I think it is very expensive for a such short play time."

"My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves it. Be borrowed it of a friend 3 months ago and had it for 2 weeks in which time i think we nearly wore it out. Since giving it back she still asks for it so im buying it for us. We have another rainbow fish movie but none seems to quiet equal the one with dazzel the dinosaur. We didnt find it scarey!"

"The children in my kindergarten class love these movies. We have used them to talk about how to treat others and the importance of being a friend. They love to sing the songs, I really need to find the lyrics - if anyone has them or knows where to find them I would appreciate it."

"Nice video of the book! There are intense portions. It was helpful to warn the children and keep the room not dark but dimly lit."
