 Rolie Polie Olie June 25, 2008
I have an issue with both of my purchases that I require a reply to. Neither DVD will play in any of the three DVD players I have at home nor will they play in our portable DVD player.
I would like to return these DVD's for a refund but I dont know how to do this. If someone could get in touch with me I would appreciate it.
I dont know what the problem is maybe it's becasue Im in Australia and not the US but the DVD'd are of no use to me if they wont play.
Thank you
Tammy Jarvis
 Menu options are terrible January 30, 2008
Ditto for me on what others have said about the menu options for the DVD. It's a total waste of time for parents of young children who can't use a DVD remote yet. Instead of being able to navigate through menu options on your own, you have to wait while there is useless narration and for the option you want to be selected. And if you don't select your option fast enough, you have to wait until all the narration and selections are over. Very annoying!!

All the things the other reviewers say about the DVD navigation are true. On top of that, you sometimes cannot scroll around on the menu. Instead you have to wait for the highlight to move around and hit enter when it's on your selection. What a complete waste of parents' time! FYI, this is a collection of mini episodes. Before you realize one episode is over, you're into the next, so portion control to kids is also difficult. Disney, this is inexcusable!! 4.5 stars for content, 1 star for usability.

Wonderful stories but annoying menu options December 28, 2004
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I gave this DVD 5 stars because the Rolie Polie stories contained on it are wonderful: funny, clever, visually intriguing, containing wholesome (but not cloying) morals, something that parents and kids can enjoy together. One set of shorts is devoted to Valentine's Day, one to a nondenominational version of a springtime holiday. It's a shame this series isn't more widely known and appreciated. My 3 yr old twins and my 7 yr old happily watch this DVD together.
The major criticism is the way the DVD is packaged by Disney. I've never come across a more annoying, counterintuitive set of menus. You first are automatically subjected to previews of the umpteenth Disney latest release, and you must opt out of the previews by clicking on an exit function. Similarly, there is no "play all" function readily available; you have to individually select which of the sets of shorts you want to watch, then select play in a separate menu for that set. Worst of all, you have to listen to some irritating narrator blather on about what you're trying to watch and no matter how you try to make your selection, you can't until a certain amount of blather has elapsed. My clever 3 yr old has figured out how to keep pressing play in just the right way to expedite the process, but it's horribly annoying and makes me loathe the Disney juggernaut even more.
