Charlie and Lola, Vol. 1

My daughter LOVES Charlie and Lola. She was 2 (now 3) when we first started to see them on the Disney Channel and was instantly drawn to them. My husband also loves them. I am American and my husband is British so it was great to have a show where they talked like Daddy. Lola is so funny and my daughter mimics her and has actually picked up the accent a bit (which my husband loves) She loves to say "never ever eat a tomato" which is funny b/c tomatos are one of her favorite foods. It is nice to see a bit of her father's culture introduced here. She eats a lot of the food that they talk about on the show (like sausage rolls and marmite sandwiches) and has even started calling the dog Sizzles. My 17 month old son is even starting to get into it. We have taped all of the episodes off of the tv but have been hoping for a DVD so we can play it in the van. We have bought the books and even got some sticker books from the UK when my mother in law went back this past spring.As far as the show itself, it is a creative animation which conformed from books to tv rather well. It touches on many subjects from not getting the staring role in the school play to waiting for the first snow. Keeping with the Snoopy tratition, you never seem to see grown ups. It is all from the prespective of the 4 & 7 year old. It is captivating entertainment for your pre-schooler. I give it 5 stars.

My 2 year old loves Charlie and Lola, and so do my husband and I. It's one of the few DVD's the whole family wants to watch over and over. After seeing "I will never ever eat a tomato" my daughter has renamed all the food she previously wouldn't eat, and is happy to eat 'green drops' 'moon squirters' and she actually demanded fish fingers which she had never seen or heard of before and ate them all up (we sneaked her some non-fried fish and told her they were f.fingres, she was none the wiser.) Unlike many kid's shows, the characters speak in convincing voices and they don't shout all the time which is our beef with a lot of US children's programming. Also the animation is charming and the music is fabulous! Only drawback is that our little one has asked us to provide her with a big brother like Charlie, which I don't think we'll be able to do..Highly recommended. I'm just about to buy vol.2

We bought this for my 4 year old for Christmas. It has been a distinct hit. As we are Brits living in America I also like the fact that they have kept the same voices that we heard in the UK. It is an adaptation of the books by Lauren Child which have a quirky, gentle sense of humour. I especially like the way that Lola is allowed to use childish constructions of language which I am sure is familiar to all parents of small children. It is also a nice representation of a big brother looking after his smaller sister and finding inventive ways to negotiate tricky problems such as "I don't like tomatoes, peas, carrots etc". I would recommend this product as we are all enjoying it.

Pure fun and entertainment for a little child to laugh and enjoy watching. We loved watching Charlie and Lola together.

I get it, it's used, but the amount of fingerprints (obviously kids) on the DVD and the case was gross. With everyone being a bit more aware of germs on surfaces and not knowing where this came from. I don't think hitting it with some disinfectant and a microfiber cloth is much to ask for. Better to be safe.

LOVE the Charlie and Lola shows. The animation is fun and simple, including photos of real objects alongside the chalk-style outlines of characters and objects. The kids' voices are cute, and I like that my kiddo hears a British accent in addition to the American English spoken at home. The shows on Disc One are not educational per se but each episode is fairly short in terms of dialogue, while including plenty of non-talking parts showcasing Charlie and Lola's fantasy images of outer space, the pyramids of Egypt and a cake-baking Dachshund, to name a few.

We turned off our cable, because I get a little ridiculous and waste my life away in front of it. Because of this we've been collecting some of our favorite episodes on DVD. I LOVE Charlie and Lola! I got these DVDs for my toddlers and they love them too. By 4 yr old is especially fond of the spider episode. This is such a great value, because you get so many episodes as opposed to the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse videos where you get like 2 or 3.

My grandkids and I watched most of this show today. This was our first time viewing it. I had never heard of this show, and are always looking for something educational and fun for them to view. My grandson liked the episodes about Lola's eating vegetables, and taking care of their dog. The siblings are kind and happy with one another in the show. All the other characters are kind and fun to watch as well.The video shows really well. There are extras also included. Though a cute show, I feel that it still has to grow on my grandchildren.
