Amadeus Little Mozart Season 1 - set if 4 dvds and a cd-rom.
"Wunderkind Little Amadeus (The Adventures of Young Mozart) is the well-loved children's animated series seen on public television across the USA and around the world. This TV series depicts the early life, adventures and works of the musical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Aside from being a good introduction to the works of the great composer, viewers young and old alike will also learn about classical music, history and music appreciation.
The endearing characters, bumbling villains and funny, animal sidekicks make each episode enjoyable to watch. However, some episodes contain words and situations that may be inappropriate for young audiences. Fictional aspects are cleverly interspersed with factual details. Teachers and parents will find this series a great teaching tool, but it would also be helpful to read up on Mozarts' life in order to separate fact from fiction.
The boxed set has 4 DVDs containing a total of 13 episodes. In between episodes there is a short music lesson (i.e. types of instruments) from Monti the rat. It would've been nicer though if these clips were presented by a more likeable character. There is also an interactive game where viewers will learn to identify different instruments.
Aside from the DVDs, the boxed set comes with a CD-ROM containing additional learning materials such as lesson plans, activity pages, screensavers, posters, coloring sheets and printable music sheets of Mozart's compositions arranged for various instruments. Additional resources and games are available on their Web site.
