The title of this DVD is a bit misleading........2005-01-19
The first twenty minutes are dedicated to anything but teaching the alphabet. The first time I played it I found myself taking the DVD out of the player twice just to make certain that the label on the disc matched the label on the box. I couldn't believe this was a "learn your ABC's" DVD. After about twenty minutes Barney and the gang pull out the alphabet-building-blocks and spend the last twenty minutes rushing through it. Definitely not the best of the Barney series. It does, however, have a bonus 30 minute Barney episode from the TV series called "Three lines, three corners" which jumps straight into the business of teaching your child what makes a triangle. My two year old son actually likes that episode better than the DVD's main feature.
My son has been a Barney fan for a year and this DVD hardly holds his attention. If you are looking for the ultimate Barney experience I believe that they are the "Sing and Dance", "Round and Round" and "Barney's Best Manners" DVDs.
Amazon.co.uk Review
Inspired by Robert Heinlein's pulp classic and executive-produced by Paul Verhoeven, who made the big-screen version, Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles is cutting-edge TV animation that's more for grown-ups than kids. The neat equipment, combat suits and weapons are as deadly as they are cool, and even though the extreme gore and violence of the movie has been toned down, the endless threat from all manner of nasty bugs is still pretty terrifying. Five roughly 20-minute episodes are spliced together into a movie-length feature, which makes for a satisfyingly lengthy story arc instead of the more usual self-contained individual episodes. Like all good war stories, at its heart Roughnecks celebrates that Band of Brothers-style bonding in extreme circumstances, which we viewers can only experience vicariously. --Mark Walker

More roughnecks but in CGI.......2007-11-18
If you arre a fan of SCI-Fi and enjoyed the film Starship Troopers thhen this CGI computer graphic version will really please you. The graphics are very good and the stories are all on the same Human v Bug theme. My son lover starship Troopers and certainly enjoyed this follow up series. The stories continue on with some of the original movie chatracters such as Rico but some of thhe stories themselves are new. Goof fun and worth a watch.
