Ni Hao Kai-Lan: Princess Kai-Lan

Cute!
I had not seen this show before buying this dvd other than a promo in a Yo Gabba Gabba dvd so I was expecting something girly. I bought it thinking probably my son won't like this but it was at a great price so I figured I could pass on to my niece. Put it one one day when he was a little cranky and he instantly was liking this show. I also enjoyed watching it. Cute characters (my favorite is Ho Ho even thought he is a bit whiny about things being different and he doesn't want to try anything new and he is a bit dramatic about the moon being hid by the clouds at the festival) and good example for your kids to learn to get along with others, try new things, and to handle disappointment in a positive way. I am going to see about buying some more Ni Hao Kai-Lan dvds. You don't learn a ton of chinese but its fun to say the words and it is a good way to get kids interested in learning more. Best snacks to eat while watching this: Banana Crackers, Lychee fruit, and Steamed Dumplings! Hope this review is helpful to somebody.

For my Grandchild
If my grandchild could spell she would say that Kai-Lan is her favorite. As the adult that usually watches it with the child, I am often impressed. There aren't many shows that can deal with emotional topics on the preschool level. Kai-Lan does it. The show explores emotions: how people express emotions; what may cause the particular emotion; how to understand and resolve emotional issues. Children will find the characters lovable and will be able to relate to them.

Good introduction to Chinese
I bought a series of Ni Hao Kai Lan as a teaching aid to help my kids learn Chinese in a fun way. It has served its purpose as a good introduction, however parents should not rely on it to teach anything more than a few words here and there. One Chinese word is spoken for every 100 used in English, which is not ideal.

Educational & entertaining
My daughter loves Kai-lan! She repeats all the words and even the chinese words which she uses when communicating with the family. Love that! I wish they would make more episodes and put them on DVD. We have purchased all of them and she loves them all.I would recommend this to a friend - great learning tools and fun to watch.

great story line
my 4 yr old grandaughter loves these movies.I couldnt find any of them in the stores so I was very glad to be able to find them on the amazon. I like the fact that each one of these kinds of movies teaches about different cultures and lifestyles in a way that is interesting for little kids.

Poor Quality- made us mad!
I just bought it new! But this DVD stopped working at the "Moon Festival" episode. The quality of this product is bad/ poor. My kid is loving this DVD, but she is mad that she can't watch the whole story.

You will NOT learn Chinese
This is a cute cartoon and my son loves it. The cartoon is helping him improve his English.yes, English.There is only very little Chinese, probably no more than what we all already know, e.g. "Nee How".While there is a little bit about the Chinese wall and the monkey King (keyword here is "about"), the dialogs are in English, the songs are in English, and the little there is about Chinese culture is a very American vision ("this is such a great wall!") and the drawings are basically Japanese.I am VERY disappointed because I was under the impression that it was a cartoon to teach kids about China and the Chinese language. I may have been wrong about my expectations, but I expect other parents here are also looking for a DVD for their child to learn some Chinese. There is only one audiotrack, not even a Chinese language version!There doesn't seem to be any Chinese Hanzi characters either.Besides that, I also think it's lame, but then I'm 40 so perhaps too old to appreciate it.My son is currently learning Chinese thanks to a Mickey Mouse DVD with dual track English-Mandarin. But certainly not thanks to Princess Kai-lan.

A mi hija le gustó mucho. Además viene con capítulos de otras series de dibujos. Compré este DVD porque no lo encontré en Español. No he tenido problema alguno en cambiarle el idioma

my little princess loves it
I bought this for my little girl as she loves Dora the explorer, i had hoped that she would like this dvd too. I was pleasantly surprised, she loves it. The characters are very friendly, just like Dora. They teach the basics of another language, just like Dora. They have catchy songs, just like Dora. My little princess loves joining in with the singing and dancing and clapping that both Dora and Kai Lan get up to. Fantastic
