 The Mouse and the Motorcycle November 23, 2008
Very cute and filled with action. Based on the children's book of the same name by Beverly Clearly, the story is about a mice riding a child's toy motorcycle in a hotel. Parents may want to purchase other DVDs by Cleary or purchase the Cleary books to read to their children.(reading level 8 years & up).
 Ahh, the memories! November 16, 2008

I saw this movie 20 years ago as a kid with my mom. Never left my memories. At dinner we were talking about cherished times and she brought up this movie. I'm about to leave home so I bought this DVD so I can watch it with my mom one last time. She saw the packaging and sorta cried and I guess we'll watch it once I'm done with this review.
I watched a bit of it already. It's just as I remembered it! The movie itself is 41 minutes long. The video quality is decent. It's from 1986 afterall. There's also an 18 minute extra story call "Wee Gillis" about a Scottish boy in the country. Both stories have a lot of values so I recommend it for parents. I bought it new and there's a colorful 7-paged booklet inside that's like a checklist for all the DVDs in the "Scholastic Storybook Treasures" Series. :)
I also own the book and the movie is very faithful to it. One of the more annoying things is that when you start the movie, it defaults to showing subtitles. They claim it as "Read-Along" subtitles, so each word that's said on screen is highlighted in blue. Kinda like singing Karaoke. You can turn it off of course. Another downside is that there are no scene selection or chapter markings. Pressing the 'Next Chapter' button on your DVD's remote would only end the movie. It's cool though, I could care less. It's worth watching straight through. Overall, you'll love it! Take care! ;)
