Timeless Truth for Kids (and their Parents) Feb 24, 2007
The Hermie & Friends series is a fun learning and growing tool for Christian parents. In this episode, kids meet Webster, a bright young spider who gives kids a plethora of vocabulary lessons. Wordsmiths will certainly appreciate the dictionary humor.
Because this is a Christian video, some may object to the use of a brief reference that the garden will "look haunted" by Webster's webs when the garden bugs are discussing their fears of having a "scary spider" in their home. Also, as noted by another reviewer there is a reference to some colorful language (a**) by the Actor Tim Conway in the "extras" which is inappropriate for intended young audience of these videos. My son (age 4) likes to see the faces behind his favortie characters so it is a little disappointing.
Kids Learn Another Valuable Hermie Lesson Dec 3, 2004
This is yet another winner in the Hermie & Friends series. My two year old is especially afraid of the dark and this lesson about praying to God when you're scared really helped him understand that he can take his fears to God. I appreciate a DVD lesson that kids will remember and one that stimulates a follow up discussion, even in young children like my son. Thank you Hermie and friends, you make the lessons of life fun for kids of all ages!
Wonderful Kids Movie!!! Dec 2, 2004
Thank you for a terrific kids movie. It teaches children not to pre-judge and also how to face fears. It has made a huge impact on our family.
Thank you Hermie! Oct 5, 2004
The Hermie series consistently offers light hearted fun and a solid message. Webster is one of the funniest characters they have created. The voices and script are top notch and it's wonderful entertainment for the entire family. My kids keep asking to pray like Hermie does to God. That's the real testament to the video. That it impacts the children more when it's off then when it's on. Keep cranking out quality!
Is this a Christian children's video??? Aug 31, 2004
You wouldn't expect to hear profanity on a video that is meant for small children, right? You also wouldn't expect to hear it on a video that is being marketed as having a Christian theme, right?
Well, get ready for some disappointing news. This video contains something quite inappropriate for the audience in which it was intended. In one section of the dvd, the voice talent actors are being interviewed. Since the theme of the video is fear, the actors are being asked about what different words ending in "phobia" mean. (Ex. "aquaphobia" is the fear of water, etc.) The actors sometimes really try to answer the question, and other times they just give what are meant to be 'funny' answers. The word "astraphobia" (the fear of lightning) is given. Tim Conway says, "It is the fear of being kicked in your @$$." The final word, @$$, is bleeped, but you can see him say it and since the word is "astraphobia", it is very clear -even to children- what he has just said.
I expect to hear rough language in a regular movie. I'm not offended by that. I do not appreciate, however, when I'm watching a children's Christian video with my kids and suddenly there is an unexpected vulgarity in the video!
If you don't mind your children hearing coarse language in their Christian children's videos, then by all means pick up this video. If, however, you find this as inappropriate as I do, find some other video for them to watch.
