I just tried to put this up with some help from our professional contractor (who is doing our remodeling). The right side grass is noticeably lighter than the left side but I could live with that. However, there is a part of the left side that needs to match the middle. No matter what you do it does not fill the space left in the castle and the yellow wall shows through. I tried stretching it to fit and it never was big enough but it finally tore. I think it looks pretty bad especially after spending over 30 minutes to try to hang it. I have had Disney decals in the past, but none of them presented this much of a problem. I read such great reviews of this item that I wonder if mine is defective.

My 4-yr old loves this castle! Her plan is to be a princess when she grows up, so maybe this will help her achieve her goal!

It's beautiful! However, I tried putting the castle on a typical wall in the kids room and within 2 days half of it unstuck and was falling down :( I had to buy poster board, stick it to that and then tack it to the wall. But it still looks really good in their room!

I ordered this wall mural for my daughter's room, and it went up perfectly. It's actually in 3 pieces, but not hard to put together at all. The size is decent (not huge but not too small) and it really adds some charm to the room. She loves having it up on the wall.

Of all the mural castles I looked at, this one by far was the nicest. It looks wonderful on my granddaughter's room with the princesses. Bed time is fun for her.

These are very easy to use and look great. My almost 3 year old loves her "new princess room." Very affordable and easy way to make a quick change that your little one will love.

I purchased this princess set to go with the castle mural. They are just as pictured and easy to apply. My little princess is very happy with her kingdom.

WE LOVE THESE THINGS! My girls wanted pretty rooms so we invested in 4 packs of these for two rooms and now they have gray walls but they don't mind it and love the princess on their walls. They are great and I have had the older ones and the new ones and these. Con's is you need to be careful when peeling them off the contact paper, and if you remove them be sure to re put on contact paper or they will stick together. Also be sure to clean the wall's first with a damp cloth and let dry then apply.

I purchased these because my little girl turned 4 and wanted to change from princesses to fairies. I didn't want to go all out like I did with the princess stuff. I bought the wall stickers and put them around her room. I just took them all down to reorganize her room. I moved them all to one wall and made like a mural with them and it is beautiful. She loves it! They are more girly and glam up close than you can see online. They have glitter in them to they shimmer when the light hits them just right. Definitely recommend them to any Tinkerbell fan.

For those of us with no time to decorate, these are so simple and easy to place and the room comes alive! Thanks.

My initial intention for these stickers was only to use tinkerbell and the bird for my wall. When I received them, (which was faster than thought) I was sticking to my plan. As I was placing Tinkerbell and the bird, I looked at the other ones, and I couldn't resist. I ended up placing all of them!!!!!

I had to apply them to my daughters windows because her walls were a little too bumpy and they are very cute and stay on perfectly. At night they put the shadow on her walls when the light comes in through them. Simple to apply.

My 3 yr old daughter and I love these decals! We had a blast putting them up on her new "big girl room" walls! It's a great idea if you're not into themed rooms since they just cling on. When she's done with them I can just take them off and it's like Tink and friends were never there. You can totally tell they are stickers on the wall, but they stick well and the glittery touch on the their wings is great! Great quality for the cost...I highly recommend.

My husband and I have been fans of They Might Be Giants for years and there isn't anyone who is better suited to write songs for kids! The songs are fun while also teaching a lot. I find myself singing them over and over, and usually not even minding! My 4-year-old wants to watch the DVD and listen to the CD all the time. He'll take a few days or a week off, then ask for it again, on repeat. A sure sign of love.

The whole family enjoys music and sings along. My daughter loves the songs and video and I get to listen too!

A fantastic CD - we really like it and listen to it a lot. The songs are catchy. My children are 5 and 6 years old.

This is the 3rd TMBG kids cd/dvd that we have. It is great, we have a 13 month old and she just loves the songs, dances to them all the time. Also, she loves to watch the videos, it is the only thing that she will actually sit quietly and watch, it is amazing. But, the best thing about this music is that it is just plain good music and all of you parents out there will not mind listening to it one bit, other than the songs are very catchy and you will find yourself singing them throughout the day.

We purchased all three of their DVD's for our 2 year old and he absolutely loves them. The music and videos are engaging and catchy. I have found myself singing along with the music many times.

I love many of Baby Einstein's products. I have two other videos, a saucer/bouncy chair, and several books by Baby Einstein, and I LOVE them. I wanted to get more Baby Einstein videos for my almost one-year-old so she wouldn't be watching the same ones over and over. Well, this one was a disappointment for me. The kicker is that it seems to be the highest rated of the Baby Einstein videos! Did you even watch it?? My main issue, was the speech sound quality. The music was perfect, and the music volume was great, but when they actually talked, I couldn't hear them well enough to understand any of it. I thought I was going deaf! They punctuated the video with bits of poetry about each color, but what's the point of that if you can't even hear it? It sounds like they recorded the speech on an old cassette tape in a bathroom! To be fair, here are the pros and cons of the video: Negatives: -Vocal recording quality is poor, at best -The puppetry was rough, and inexpressive compared their usual high quality of work -Obnoxious 80's-ish sound effects with no apparent purpose Positives: -Beautiful classical music -Cute and interesting video montages I'd like to note that the positives are true of the GOOD Baby Einstein videos as well, but the negatives are not. I highly recommend "My First Signs" and "First Words: Around the House." I hope to find more of the good ones, but I'm honestly scared to put any more money into the search!

I was expecting it to be closer to 30 minutes than 20, and they only went through 6 colors. It's definitely not the best Baby Einstein dvd. My kids seem to enjoy the animal ones better. The puppet shows and songs are their favorite parts, but this one doesn't have as much of that.

I find it ironic that the title has Einstein in it when it clearly assumes my child is an idiot. It's almost shameful how this company intimates that they are somehow educational.

I have read that there is a study saying that these videos are harmful to a childs development however I have done a study of my own so to speak. My son who is turning 7 next month has been watching these videos since he was a newborn (baby van gogh and galileo are were favorites) and he is doing above average in school. I cant say its due to him watching these videos but I can say they have not harmed my children! My 5 year old also watched these and has been writing letters and spelling out words since he was 2. I think these videos are helpful in teaching children. I wouldnt stick them in front of them all day everyday but they are a good supplement to you teaching your children. I love this video myself, its cute and it doesnt annoy you even when they want to watch it over and over. The little blue goat cracks me up!

Good video although the voice on the video seems a little muffled-other than that, another good Baby Einstein DVD

My son loves them and they are educational. I like the fact that he gets to learn and I get a little break.

I like this one and most of the others, since I've popped in the first dvd, my son is trying to talk more and doing more too, he loves learning, totally awesome

We bought this for our 18 month old, and it was a great introduction for learning numbers. One of the things I like about it, is the puppets count objects, so there is a meaning to each number, not just a sequence. Between this and the number puzzles we use, our daughter, now 25 months has a good understanding of numbers, their order, and what they mean. She also loves the puppets, and the different scenes keep her engaged in learning.

My 18 month old loves "NUMBERS NURSERY". After watching it two times, he was reciting 1-5, and within a week he has learned 1-10. I don't know if it was the video or his age, but I was amazed at the results. It keeps him entertained, as does all the Einstein videos!

Teaching babies the numbers 1-5 is great and all, but I am beyond perplexed why in the world Baby Einstein stopped at the number 5. Do they really think that babies can't learn more than that? Good grief! They are just getting started there! This DVD is very entertaining. Indeed,it is mostly entertainment as the numbers one through five will be mastered in very short order there by making it pure entertainment. Save your money and buy Richard Scary's Best Counting Video Ever. It is just as entertaining (if not more so) and goes to number 20, with lots of cute dialogue that babies love. Similarly, check out Leap Frog Letter Factory (for letters) and Trebellina (for music). You won't be disappointed.

I love this movie and couldn't wait to own it on DVD. I used to own it on VHS but my VCR broke and I ended up buying a DVD player and wanted this movie for so long.

My son is 23 months old and he loves Woddy!! We took him to see #3 movie but he didn't watch it like the DVDS.

Ordered Toy Story 2 along with this DVD. These are classics that every Disney animated movie lover must have. Slowly replacing all my Disney VHS movies and these 2 DVDs came at a great price.

I tried to buy Toy Story at many different stores, but they all wanted at least $20 or more, but thru Amazon I was able to buy both 1 & 2 for the price of one. Very satisfied.

As always, my experience with ordering through Amazon from a private source has been easy, fast and safe. Thanks.

I ordered this classic for use in a music appreciation class. I hope to have it in.before school begins.

The beauty of Fantasia is as immortalized as we can at present have it. However, this version is an unfortunate possessor of the ultra-close-up moment during the Pastoral scene. This distorts the image and makes it very grainy, hindering the viewing experience in such a startling manner that it actually cast a shadow over what has traditionally been one of my favorite portions. It is important to note that the tampering was done to cover/remove racially inappropriate material, but their solution left me wanting. I'm a much bigger fan of the "roving foliage" technique, as, while obvious and hilarious when you notice it, it does not burden the skill and beauty of the animation. Oddly enough, they used both techniques in this version, and I'm not certain why. Sticking to one would have been far more appropriate.

It is not a movie but several mini series that are delightfully animated to instrumental classical music. It has some information provided by a conductor in the beginning before each mini musical treat. The pictures/animation roll from one object or character into the next. It definetely sparks the senses. My 5 year old wants to watch it often. I bought it because we are going to Disney World soon and we wanted to be able to associate with the Socerer's Apprentice (a mini animated treat with Mickey mouse) since he is themed in Disney at the All Star Movies Hotel and during Fantasmic Show in the Park!

Most of these reviews refer to the 2000 release of Fantasia. THE VHS IS FROM 1992 and does have the voice of Deems Taylor, etc. Amazon has been sloppy about putting all the Fantasia reviews together. Most of the reviews obviously refer to "discs". This version is a tape. I have the tape; Deems is on it. Why Disney didn't just put this on DVD is beyond me.

"Fantasia" (1940) includes some of the finest moments in animation history, yet proved a critical and financial disaster when first released. In 1990, the film's original Leopold Stokowski soundtrack was fully restored along with a pristine 35mm master print. As a result, Walt Disney's once-in-a-lifetime achievement looks and sounds terrific - particularly in the segments of Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite," Ponchielli's "The Dance of the Hours" and Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" that blend classical music with seamless animation. In terms of sheer visual brilliance, nothing beats Disney's rendition of Moussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain" and Dukas' "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" (perhaps the best Mickey Mouse cartoon ever produced). Equally impressive is the abstract experimentation of Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" based on the work of artist Oskar Fischinger. As long as Disney ventured into new and challenging directions, "Fantasia" maintained the sophisticated conception of an animated symphony. Unfortunately, when he reverted back to the sappy Disney formula, his "Concert Feature" suffered accordingly. The appalling interpretation of Beethoven's "Pastoral Symphony" (with its ludicrous centaurs) must rank among Disney's worst efforts and represents the film's nadir. Though beautifully detailed, the anti-climactic finale of Schubert's "Ave Maria" ends the ambitious production on a rather limp note. Despite occasional missteps, "Fantasia" represents the Disney studio at the peak of its artistic powers. The best segments inspire awe and wonderment unlike any animated feature.

this is one of the best sequels ever made in the Disney lineup. I loved this movie and had it on VHS and wanted it on DVD. It is a hit with my kids.

Like I said before, #1, and #2 are the best movies my son has. He loves woody more than Buzz.

I actually sat down to watch this the other day with my kids and was glued to the tv! What a great movie!

This movie was a bargain. Purchased in combination with Toy Story 1 the cost was less than $15 for the dvd and blue ray.

This is an awesome movie. I had to buy it again because the first DVD had gotten all scratched up. It's a must see.

I'm not sure if it's the balloon or the helium tank we purchased to fill this and the other birthday balloons, but this Buzz balloon is STILL floating, and my son's birthday party was Saturday, December 19, 2009!!!!!!! That's right, it's been 7 weeks!!!!! Great product, and he of course LOVED it!!!! (Maybe even more than the toys!) Thanks again for the fantastic balloon!!!

Reviews

This is the coolest balloon I have ever seen. It is great. I had it for my daughter's 2nd birthday party and it was a hit. It is still floating around my house. Now its a little creepy. When your walking down the steps in the middle of the night and at the bottom mickey is staring at you waving, its a little scary.(lol) But the balloon was great its huge and he really does just walk around!

Got this balloon for my son's 3rd birthday party. It was a great deal, looked great!

The fairy's are even better then in the picture! They are also stamps afterwards! Shipping was fast and would definatly recommend this product to anyone and everyone who loves the Tinkerbell fairies!

Very nice fairies. the service from this company was excellent. they shipped very fast.

Came with Instructions for Local Bakery to Make, Turned Out Beautiful! Best Cake Decorating Kit!

I purchased the Tinkerbell Fairy's to use on my granddaughter's 4th Birthday Cake. I was pleased with the quality of the figurines and they were just beautiful on the cake. I received many ooh's from everyone at the party. In fact, I think I may have to do a similar cake for another child. Thank you for providing such a nice set of toppers for a cake. My granddaughter now has them placed on a high shelf for everyone to see and NOT TOUCH !!! Ply in upstate NY

I order this to make a cake for my niece. She absolutelt loved it. They sent me great directions on how to make the cake step by step.

Reviews

Will be great for my son's birthday cupcakes, and also then serve as part of the "goody bags" treat that his friend's can take home with them.

They made my son's cupcakes fun and nice looking. I would recommend the cupcake rings.

A word of caution here, if you are planning to use these for pancakes, look elsewhere. The entire head is approximately 3.5 iches wide. Even Mickey and Minnie eat pancakes larger than that. Made of metal with a wooden gripper. They may be suitable for eggs, have never tried that approach, but they don't cut the mustard for pancakes.
