Who doesn’t love a bid red dog? Props & Pans has reviewed two new DVD’s titled, “Playtime with Clifford,” and “Be My Big Red Valentine.” Both of these will be unleashed in stores on January 8th.
If you are looking for something large and red this Valentine’s Day then leave a comment by midnight (EST) on Wednesday, January 9th.
We are giving away 5 sets of these DVD’s to our lucky readers!
My triplets are barely two years old, but they know what they like. That being said my review of the Clifford DVD’s is loosely based on the opinions of my short attention spanned toddlers.
As a genuine disclaimer I should note that my kids do not regularly watch DVD’s from start to finish. A 90 plus minute DVD is broken up into viewing segments, based on how much time I need to finish dinner, start a load of laundry and keep them otherwise entertained without me.
The Clifford DVD’s were a hit in short doses. My triplets enjoyed watching them and seemed interested in the screen for a maximum of about 15 minutes. Typical of any DVD and my kids though.
Natalie thought the red plastic case with a handle on it was a purse and she spent a good deal of her viewing time parading around the living room carrying as if it were an expensive Gucci bag. As a fashion accessory the Clifford DVD series we reviewed scored higher than the actual DVD itself. My kids still adore other characters more than the BIG RED DOG but perhaps with a little more maturity they will grow to love Clifford.

We have spent many hours in line at the local PBS Kid’s Day waiting to meet Clifford, so when these two new DVD’s arrived I knew they would be a hit and they were. I was afraid we might have moved past this character, especially after our obsession that lasted a full year had downgraded to only sleeping with the red fur ball at night.
Our 5 year old thoroughly enjoyed the Valentine’s video and quickly named it his favorite new Clifford show (he’s seen a lot!). What I love about Clifford is the fact it is wholesome. We’ve enjoyed many pre-school age books with this character as well.
Clifford has been around a long time and nothing warms my heart more than knowing my son is enjoying something I did at his age. Plus I loved the design of the case!

As a mom to five kids who are devoted to Baby Einstein, I knew introducing a cartoon like Clifford the Big Red Dog was going to be a stretch. Slipping the DVD into the player I already sensed their hesitation. However, the catchy music and colorful dog bounding across the screen quickly reeled them in, but that was pretty much where it ended.
I wasn’t sure if it was simply a lack of enthusiasm on their part or perhaps a tad bit of immaturity, but my kids didn’t enjoy it. I thought both Playtime with Clifford and Be My Big Red Valentine Clifford were sweet videos.
Unlike your typical movie, they didn’t drone on for 35-40 minutes. They had nice manageable sequences with a beginning, middle and an end. It was perfect in my opinion for a toddlers short attention span. I’d recommend this DVD to other kids in our same age group who maybe have had more TV time exposure. I think that was where we lost it.
Our kids just didn’t know what to do with this gleeful, red ball of energy, galloping across our TV. But I watched it and enjoyed every minute of it.

If I win Clifford, it will become a gift to my daughter’s boyfriend’s children. He just suffered a heart attack. We had to delay Christma as it happened on Christmas Eve.
My daughter loved Clifford when she was growing up. I remember having to buy the books when she was in grade school. God Bless.

We have a few old Clifford VHS tapes that we watch in the van. Sometimes (just sometimes), my daughter chooses him over Dora, and that warms the cockles of my Kindergarten teacher wife’s heart.
