A Rugrats Chanukah

The video does have some flaws. It's recorded in the fastest mode (apparently to save cost, but to be honest, I would have paid a few bucks more for a better quality recording) so the quality is not the greatest. Also, the closed captioning for the hearing impaired has lots of errors, such as some Yiddish expressions, and at the end when the blessing is given, it just says "(speaking Hebrew)" where the TV version spells it out and suffers from none of the above-mentioned flaws.)

Still, it is not enough to change my rating of 5 stars, or my recommendation of this video, as the content of the video is, of course, the most important part.


Great family entertainment.   December 3, 1999

We found this to be an informative video for our children and entertaining to us as well. It explains Chanukah to children in a way they can understand when they are coming from another cultural background. The story is clear, easy to understand and follow, and entertains at the same time. It also shows the need for understanding, tollerance and the acepting of others different from ourselves in the world today. As a parent, I apprciate holsom videos that teach a lesson as well.


Real good Rugrats video, educational too!   October 11, 1999

I might be in my pre-teen ages where people think they might not know what a good or bad movie is but I think all ages could enjoy. I'm not Jewish and many viewers probably aren't but I never was told or knowing the story behind Chanukkah and the whole episode explains it. Of course they even add a fun storyline to it (as the Rugrats try to put the Chanukkah play leader to a nap) to help people enjoy it. I definitely recommend it.
