SESAME STREET: FIESTA! (DVD)

Autistic son looks ks

Great introduction to Spanish for my baby.

Oh!!!! OH!!! Celia Cruz,, Linda Rondstandt! It's worth purchasing just for the sheer power of those sets of lungs!!!! WowHHowever, The video is 99.9% in English!! (I'm actually not exaggerating!) I realized this was a short video... but I did not know that there was so much sheer volume of English in this video. 99.9% in English, with a Spanish word thrown in here and there. (Such as "Fiesta" and "carnivale"? which sound suspiciously similar to words used in everyday Enlgish...) It does teach numbers with a very nice song though!!!!!If it was not "Seasame Street" brand with genuine Seasame street characters , I would give one star, if it was not SS. I guess the music is super bouncy and happy, I always like fiesta music anyway. If you are looking for education, I suggest Don't waste your time or money if you have already learned the Spanish Numbers to ten...On the other hand, if you are looking for FUN, THis movie has FUN in abundance!!!! 5 stars for fun, happy, bouncy Sesame Street! fiesta, !!!

I liked the movie. It was very cute. My baby is too young for Sesame Street but seemed to be interested in the music. I sort of disagree with the other reviews about there only being a few words in Spanish. I think there is a lot of Spanish but isn't intended to teach viewers the language. It's used more to enhance the theme of the "Fiesta".

This sesame street video should be a classic if it is not already. All the songs are very catchy. Great flow, into each song, excellent English/Spanish content. Have you every heard Celia sing in English? She was the best in any language. My 2 yr old son asks for this video just as much as he asks for others with the very flashy animation and effects. That says it all. Pure quality.

This is a great video to introduce your child to counting and speaking in Spanish, and to introduce some aspects of Mexican culture. I disagree with some of the other reviewers that said it should include more Spanish--it is for small children, after all. The basis of the storyline is that Maria, Gaby, Elmo, and Rosita are building a float for Carnivale. Elmo breaks the float, and tries to come up with another way to build it. It is interspersed with great clips from Sesame Street and catchy songs.

This tape is fun to watch with your children to introduce them to Spanish. The songs are upbeat and catchy, of course all the Muppets dance themselves silly so your kids will love imitating them, and the celebrity singers, i.e. Celia Cruz, Linda Rondstadt added to the fun. It was not as long as we'd like but for an intro to numbers and short phrases, it does the job well. I also purchased the accompanying CD and this is great for reinforcing the language in the car, house, play group, etc.

This video is great! It has Celia Cruz singing in Spanish & English and it has one of my daughter's favorite skits/songs "Amigo!" The video is entirely bilingual and has some of the cast members from Sesame Street- like Elmo & Maria. The only downside is that it is only 30 minutes long! Overall, I loved it.

Un peu déçu du contenu trop anglais-espagnol! Pas trop efficace pour moi. Pas la faute aux vendeurs.

I bought this for my friends daycare. The kids love the music and love the songs

my grandson really enjoyed it and it was nice to hear all the songs I learned with my son while watching Sesame Street

スペイン語が多く出てくるビデオです。（といっても、私はスペイン語はわかるわけではないのですが）おそらく、文化の違い、や、言葉の違い、を楽しむビデオだと思います。エルモがスペイン語、あるいはスパニッシュの文化というものに触れてみて、それを楽しむというのが主旨だと思います。みんなでフィエスタ（お祭り！）ということで、色々準備していって、最後に仮装で（虫さんの仮装など）フィエスタ！というのが、本編。その中に、「お昼寝はシエスタ、お祭りはフィエスタ」というような歌とか（ちゃんとした記述でなくてごめんなさい）、スペイン語の友達になんて話しかければいいかしら？というような歌があって、楽しい内容になります。ただし、内容がそれに寄っているので、好みによっては、イマイチなこともあるかもしれません。子供（1歳半）の反応は、まぁまぁです。

その名のとおり、みんなでお祭りを楽しむ！なので、子供の興味を惹きやすくなっているんだと思います。うちの娘は、１歳半くらいの時に見たのですが、言葉なんて通じているわけもないのに、大好きなＤＶＤの１本となりました。タイトルとおりＦｉｅｓｔａを楽しむのでスペイン語を紹介してくれます。２歳になる前後には、「うの、どす、とれす、くぁとお～」（ロレツがわまわっていないのですが・・・。）と楽しそうにお尻をふってました。ちなみに私も、初めてスペイン語を聞いたのですが、このＤＶＤを娘と見ていたおかげで、数字くらいは言えるようになりました。エルモをはじめ、みんなでウキウキム－ドで、お祭りの準備をするのは、万国共通で楽しいものかのかもしれませんね。
