Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Dozermelon After watching this show... I would think that the acting in this one was really great... Let me take you guys into the wondrous features about this movie...Great features:1.Funny at times 2.Listening to the stories(Like king and the hawk, lion and the mouse,etc.) 3.The vowels(The mysterious hand will take some of the words from books,newspapers or etc. need i say more?) 4.Pronounciation from the sound word man... 5.And most of all... Great songs to dance and sing about...I would like to recommend all of the parents to let their children watch this show... It would be fun for them to watch this one though...But avoid worst show like teletubbies... It is trash...

TEENQUEEN1171987 This is exactly how I learned how to read. My grandmother gave me what we call the "AT list" You know, words that end it "-at" like, bat, fat, sat, you know. This is exactly the kind of reading this show teaches. And it teaches family values too! I think we should incorporate it into school cirriculums. I know I would! (And I'm a teaching assistant!)I spent a lot of time last year teaching children how to read, but using the methods described in the teacher's book just got the kids more and more confused. So I brought a game of Scrabble to school with me, and followed what they do on the show, I based the entire lesson on one sound, or taught them how silent "e" can change vowel sounds, like pin and pine or plan and plane. And the kids started learning! it was fantastic!Great for kids. 9 out of 10!

ms-hope I just can not begin to understand the negative comments about this show. There is nothing negative about it. My 18 month old son and I watch it every morning and we both love it. It teaches the pronunciation of words, the long & short sounds of vowels, etc. I think this show is wonderful and it will remain a part of my son's daily activities. (I even find myself watching it when he's asleep)

Minstrelman This is in response to the review that david-345 wrote: Don't take yourself too seriously! My wife and I homeschool our little boy, and he was having trouble learning to read. He was just not interested enough to put in the effort to really learn. My sister-in-law, a first-grade public school teacher, suggested that we begin watching "Between the Lions." She uses the show in her classroom sometimes.After we began watching it, my little boy began to become much more interested in reading. He began to see the value in reading. He went from a beginning reading level to reading at 2nd grade level in less than 6 months. He especially related to the "boy" lion, Lionel. He even asked for a Lionel stuffed toy recently. This seems to be because he enjoyed the show! He was very entertained by the skits, and the repetition allowed him to learn more quickly.I think it is arrogance to view a child's television program with the same type of standards as that of an adult. Often children like things that are "obnoxious" to adults. And in this case, I personally find many of the characters entertaining. The "Chicken Jane" clips are a great parody of the old "Dick and Jane" series. And, although annoying to me, my little boy loves the Cliffhanger character.It's also great how they introduce other cultural aspects from around the world to children, and they usually stray away from the trap of many shows that preach political correctness to indoctrinate children.In short, the show is effective, and entertaining to children. Therefore, it is a great show.
