Pros:
Compared to today's Barney, it is much more REAL and therefore more fun
Cons:
Compared to today's Barney, it is nowhere near as professionally done
I know, I know - Barney drives you nuts, right? There are plenty of parents out there who feel that way (although I am not usually one of them). But if you have ever spent any time watching Barney episodes at all, then you HAVE to see this video. As far as Barney videos go, it's OK, not great but not bad. So why do you need to see it?
This has to be one of the very first Barney videos ever made. It has the original cast of children in it, and they are so YOUNG! It is absolutely a blast to see those kids the way they were when the series first started. And Barney is different, too! It's not the glitzy, syrupy, smooth-as-silk show you see on PBS nowadays. These kids are REAL, they aren't perfect actors - they are just kids. And the "special effects" are hysterical - cardboard and blue screens are about as high tech as they get. And that makes it all the more entertaining.
I think the story is OK, and my kids really enjoy it. But I think I got an even bigger kick out of it than they did, only because I have been watching Barney with them for years, and it took me back to the beginning, when the Barney kids AND my baby were so much younger. It's a trip down memory lane worth taking.
