My six-year-old daughter gave me the following review of our latest children's DVD.
Hermie: Skeeter and the Mystery of the Lost Mosquito Treasure
The lost mosquito treasure was given by the father to Skeeter and Sinclair, Skeeter's brother mosquito. Sinclair is really amazing, but Skeeter feels like he's not so amazing.
The two brothers found the treasure, which was in two chests. Sinclair opens the first one and there's only a note. It says at the bottom: "P.S. I left you something that you both love in the other chest." They find out that it's Ooey-Gooey Butter Cakes from Bismarck.
Sinclair learns that nobody is perfect. Skeeter learns that God loves him even though he has a stinger that's all crooked.
The best thing about the movie is that they learn a lesson.
My favorite part of the movie is when they find the treasure because it looked like pound cake.
My friends Austin and Amber would like the movie because it's funny. When Skeeter runs into the raspberry tree, the raspberries fall down on his head.
To her comments, I'll add that she has watched this movie several times and likes it just as much as her favorite DVDs from Disney.

They showed a film from this series at "Children's Church" at my church. I found it very static and boring. However, I was evaluating it as material for a 3 year old, so I probably missed its appeal to older children.
I gave you an award. Come see.
Now, if we could just get human adults to understand that God loves them despite their crooked stingers. :-)
I'll pass this on to my sister. It sounds like it'd be right up my niece's alley.
Kathryn - I wonder if you saw the one about the bee. My daughter never liked that one very much. She also saw it when she was about three, so it would make sense. Or perhaps this mosquito one is simply *better.* :-) I never watched the bee movie closely, so I can't compare the two.
My kids both loved Hermie as smaller children, and it was one of those cartoons that even I didn't mind watching.
