I can’t believe that kids around the world are still being subjected to this tuneless load of nonsense. I vividly remember myself and all my buddies at school being bored to death. It is not suited to children. Adults may love this load of old tripe, but kids are likely to refuse to continue in any form of classical music education. Prokofiev should be shot, the self-indulgent twit. Thankfully he expired some time ago, but his instrument of child torture continues beyond the grave. If you want your kids to like classical music then get them something lovely and tuneful. I remember falling in love with the nutcracker suite, Handels stuff and Rossini, and all at the tender age of 6 or 7. My brothers, even younger, loved these guys too.

Please contact me as you sent me a cd that has a crack in it. It will not play. I was trying to show it to my class at school and was very disappointed that it was damaged. This is the second time I’ve received a defective cd from you.

I purchased this movie as a gift, so haven’t viewed it, but it arrived in a timely fashion, so I was pleased.

How can you take something so beautiful such as Sergei Prokofiev’s music and make it unbearable? Watch this movie and find out. You’ll see a horrible story line with unsympathetic characters try and create a narrative for the music. The effect: disastrous. Kirstie Alley’s whinning narrative supercedes the music in most points. The unimaginative child’s remarks to his mother’s, Kirstie Alley, narrative show that the writer’s have no understanding of children or what to do with good music. The only thing worse than the story line was the awful animation. If you want a cheesy, poorly written and unimaginitive interpretation of some classical music you’ll never hear during the movie than this is the movie for you; otherwise steer clear.

Not sure if my grandson at 4 years appreciated the twist on the old story. Grandma liked it.
