Wonderful - better than the Fimbles.......2007-11-28

Our young lad liked the Fimbles for a time, but has loved Roly Mo from age 1 to the present (3 and a half). The Snoots make all the difference!

This DVD contains a great introductory episode to the show, so we are introduced to the new characters (Little Bo, Yugo and Migo), and a very good extended episode "Imagine". Does anyone fancy a journey on a Magic Sofa to the jungle, Wibble-Wobble land and a cold land? If so, this is for you.

The link with the Fimbles is maintained with the appearance of Rockit in the third episode, and the "Busy Book".

I cannot speak higly enough of this DVD, but just wish that we could have had something else on the TV during September 2006...

Great for kids........2006-02-10

If you have children and they watch Roly Mo, then this DVD is a must. Since getting it, it has been on virtually every day. This is a blessing in one way (happy child) but not in another (know the DVD back to front).

Nevertheless, a great DVD guaranteed to keep the kids happy for an hour. Well worth the money.

Product Description

The back reads: "After four years in the Great War (WW1), Frank Gibbons (Robert Newton) is demobbed and returns home to his wife (Celia Johnson) and their children. They move into a small house which , although homely, becomes the setting for much high drama. A unique portrait of a family living between two World Wars is beautifully captured with Frank and his wife battling through triumphs and tragedies with patient British resolve. "

Speckled, muted transfer of a fine film.......2007-10-29

A wonderful, warm, witty, observant movie made during World War II, which follows the everyday lives of an ordinary family between the two World Wars. Somehow the simple plot manages to encapsulate the British character, particularly their fortitude during lean times and their quiet pleasure in small joys. It was directed by David Lean and produced by Noel Coward, with top-notch acting by the strong cast including Celia Johnson, John Mills and Kay Walsh.

Being raised on 1960's television, I'd previously only known Robert Newton as the bawdy Long John Silver (!) but here he delivers a blinder of a performance as the hardworking, upright and loyal head of the family.

This film is definitely in my Top 10, so it's a great pity that this dvd release by Carlton International is ruined by dreadful speckling and muted colour. I compared it last week to Film Four's current screened version, with its beautiful lush colours and pure picture, and I realised how badly this dvd version rates in the comparison. In my view, save your money and trust that a newer dvd release by another company will do this fine film justice.
