Charlie & Lola: Volume 6: How Many Minutes Until Christmas (DVD)

My 3 year-old loves the stories of Charlie and Lola. The programs are in short segments (11 minutes each), and they always feature the interplay between the older boy, Charlie, and his little sister, Lola. It is a nice spin on childrens' TV to see a show where the feelings of other children and the guidance of an older sibling are used as devices to demonstrate appropriate behavior rather than the dcommands of parents and adults.This disk is simply presented with a case and one disc, but it contains a good number of stories, and they all played well in my DVD and Blu-Ray player.I recommend both the show and this disc very highly.

I bought this and several other Charlie and Lola videos for my 3-1/2 year old daughter. The title episode is adorable; the music and graphics are delightful. My daughter "absolutely completely" loves them all so much so that she has committed several episodes to memory, down to the English accent. I even catch myself watching these videos over and over with her because they really are so well done. I never liked cartoons when I was growing up - probably because the choices included Tom and Jerry and Bugs Bunny and the like. The characters really are not nice to each other. By contrast, Charlie and Lola are so sweet to each other without being syrupy. I think the videos teach great lessons about respect for one another. I highly recommend this particular video and the whole series. Hard to pick just one favorite.

These are such sweet DVDs. My 15 year old daughter still loves Charlie and Lola and so we knew we had to buy them for a little 5 year old acquaintance. They have a message as well as just being so cute that they melt your heart. I hope this series is available for years to come. Every child should have the experience of Charlie and Lola.

From all of the Charlie and Lola dvd's, this is our favorite. They are all really good though but we like this one because it has a Christmas episode in there. The Charlie and Lola cartoons, are so thoughtful and stylish and thinking outside the typical cartoon you see on tv these days. The artwork, the music, and the characaters are so friendly and helpful towards one another and just a nice cartoon you want your kids to see instead of the violence and weirdness you see. I really like the relationship the brother-sister duo has. Imaginative and just cozy. This is a winner in our library.

Item was exactly as described and in great condition

Since daughter was 6 1/2 she's enjoyed vol.1-8 Charlie & Lola. She's now turning 9-that's value! Educational, family-friendly entertainment that actually engages a child ALL DAY. Lovable, intelligent characters with some knowledge of right and wrong. I like how they work through conflicts/problems. This shouldn't foster bad habits/language/attitudes. Pretty long running time, colorful and theme music not annoying. Glad they have some diversity, with Lola's African-American best friend.Could be more educational as long as it doesn't compromise the fun.

We added this to our growing collection of Charlie & Lola dvd's (there are now 10 or more in the series) and this one does not disappoint.The books are a nice compliment; in fact, our youngest daughter read one of these books in front of her class and the teacher was very impressed with the intonation & voice (much of which she copied from the videos) so they do a good job of providing a positive example to children of the type of voice inflection that should be used when reading. (All of the video segments are actually books in the C & L series).

My son is going to love when he sees this. He is HUGE fan of Charlie and Lola. It is one of his Christmas presents I can't wait to see his face when he sees it.

Did not work in our DVD players. Or our inbuilt DVD player on the TVs. Item from USA (note in small print somewhere at time of purchase.) They have added info to tittle now. They did agree to a refund but obviously would cost me small fortune to post back to USA!! Waste of money and a very disappointed little boy.

Items arrived promptly and in great condition. If you have a Charlie and Lola fan in the house they will just love this as there are many stories to enjoy. Would trade with the seller again.

As you'd expect from a Charlie and Lola DVD - good natured and funny. This volume contains six episodes, including the classic "Lolaland". My kids absolutely love Charlie and Lola and were not dissappointed by this 6th volume. Good value.

The children loved it and so did the adults! It is educational as well as amusing and the characters are delightful. Utterly believable.

As described.
