 | We love Boz! Jan 5, 2007 |
| My three year old son loves the whole Boz series. Think high quality computer animation coupled with cute songs and great spiritual values. Within the context of a cute Christian family, this particular video takes the opportunity to view colors and shapes as fun and interesting elements of God's creation without being cheesy or boring. The songs are easy to pick up and sing along with and the characters are adorable and easily likeable. Boz definitely stands out in the Christian kids' video arena, and we hope he's here to stay awhile. | | | | Great Values Based Video Series Jul 24, 2006 |
I purchased this DVD primarily for my 18 month old son. I thought he would enjoy it as he grew older if it was too advanced for him now. Turns out that both he and my 5 year old son love the videos and ask for it daily!
The storyline is centered around the relationship between a large green bear who lives next door to 4 year old twin brother and sister and their mother and father. I appreciate the interaction between the parents, grandparents, and twins as well. Sadly, the family unit has been demeaned in mainstream children's shows. Either the parents are missing entirely (Barney, Out of the Box, etc.) or, for older kids' shows, the parents are depicted as stupid or detached (Jimmy Neutron, Fairly Odd Parents, etc.). This series does an excellent job of depicting balanced, loving, supportive parents who are also positive authority figures in the twins lives.
Boz is the bear's name. He is very upbeat, energetic, and positive. Some parents might find this annoyingly so, but, in my opinion, the video is designed for preschool aged children and it certainly seems to appeal to my children very much. My 5 year old watches the videos with a sweet smile (no kidding!) on his face as he experiences the show with them. By the way, my son has seen (and enjoyed) Sponge Bob and Jimmy Neutron, yet he asks for Boz more than anything else.
The value based educational stories are very sweet and well done. This is a Christian video, so there are references to God and faith. The references to God are loving and appropriately interspersed throughout the stories. The subtle references are nice. My son loved finding the cross in the twins' bedroom. The faith references are balanced and (in my opinion) realistic. For instance, along with the cross on their bedroom wall, there are pictures that the children have drawn of super heroes. The focus is not exceedingly on God, instead God is viewed as a normal part of a normal life and referred to at appropriate moments. The primary focus of the inclusion of God is to reinforce how much God loves us.
As for the music, I'll warn you, the songs are very catchy. I catch myself singing them throughout the day whether I want to or not! My 5 year old has found them easy to learn and sing along with too. The music has a full, professional sound.
I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the video. The animation is similar to that used in Disney's "Monsters, Inc." It is well done. The body movements and facial expressions are appropriate and quite realistic.
Overall, I am pleased with the videos. I would recommend them to any conscientious parent who is interested in their child developing a positive view of God and faith while learning and being entertained in the process.

| My child loves this DVD & can't get enough! He sings the songs, dances to the music, and says "more boz" when it ends. I love the educational elements, the family values, focus on good nutrition, community service, and social interation (sharing, playing well with other children). Great series!!! | | | | WOW! We are impressed! Apr 25, 2006 |
| My 2 yr old LOVES Boz! They are superb for providing entertainment in a calm style while instilling great values and teaching the basics (colors, shapes, numbers) at the same time. | | | | Fantastic Faith-Based message!!! Apr 19, 2006 |
Okay, so the former reviewer wants "realistic" and "being able to relate to conflict?" That will certainly cause the series to go down the tube. The fact is - this is not "The Barney Factor," and it's not "kiddie crack" either. That's a ludicrous characterization of a fine new animated faith-based series, and it's a little mean-spirited as well, quite frankly. I don't know what the former reviewer is thinking, but let's get real, here. So it's a big funny and lovable Green Bear, who helps children understand about God's world and His love. So maybe the series will ultimately have a "nice old neighborly" guy to mentor the kids, but that's not what this series is about. It's about fun, dancing, music, and learning to value Biblical principles, and to enjoy family, and maybe the previous reviewer didn't recognize that the children "pray" as well. When was the last time you saw that on television or even in any Veggie Tales or Thomas the Tank?
This is NOT Barney. Let's get this straight. If you want to show conflict, there's always "The Waltons." That's a marvelous program, and it's not animated. If we want conflict, there's plenty of that already. Why not give children something they can watch over and over again to help them affirm them in their faith and to discover that faith can be fun and it can be related to their imaginations.
This is a promising series, and judging from my twin girls, it's a winner already, and I'm trusting God will bless this series and bring more of it into the homes for folks who want wholesome and entertaining programming and not be weighed down by conflict and reality-based animation. (Maybe the former reviewer could create her own series with "conflict.") But I wouldn't buy that kind of thing, not for the kiddies. Let's have a little fun and excitement, and watch the kids enjoy it and enjoy it with them!!!
