Amazon.co.uk Review
Sergei Prokofiev's symphonic masterpiece IPeter and the Wolf/I, first performed in Russia in 1936, has been lauded not only for the spectacular musical score but also for the story itself--of a young boy who outwits a wily wolf. George Daugherty brings this timeless tale to modern audiences by seamlessly weaving live-action with animation and music by the RCA Symphony Orchestra. The story opens as a grandfather (Lloyd Bridges) hosts his daughter (Kirstie Alley) and grandson (Ross Malinger) during a visit to his country cottage. After lunch, the trio settles in as grandfather recounts "The Story" of Peter's adventures with a bird, cat, and dizzy duck on the outskirts "of a very dark forest". p The film morphs into a clever cartoon designed by the legendary Chuck Jones (of Wile E. Coyote fame). The "story within a story" leaps to life while the accompanying musical instruments also emerge as playful personalities. It is no wonder this heartwarming family film has received numerous awards for bringing an appreciation of classical music to young viewers. The DVD bonuses are a making-of featurette, and a captivating introduction to the symphony orchestra. I--Lynn Gibson/I

3 out of 5 stars When do we get to the story Grandma?   December 24, 2006
  10 out of 10 found this review helpful

Although not a lover of the cartoon format in general I plunged on this so that my grandchildren could be introduced to the music in a format with which they are familiar. The cartoon part is excellent for this and the four year old liked it so much that he watched it four times in succession and picked up the tunes and the difference between the instruments, without prompting.br /br /But......the part of the story which involves 'real' people is laboured and sentimental and, each time, his plea was,' When do we get to the story?' It is obvious that he thought of the cartoon as the story proper and the rest as a penance to be got through on the way to it. His Grandma is much inclined to agree. But it's worth buying for the animation of the cat alone. Very unrealistic wolf though.
