 Excellent Spanish language DVDOct 26, 2005
By C. Fountain
This is one of the best Spanish-language DVDs that I've come across. As a bilingual mother trying to raise a bilingual child, I'm always looking for good books, games, and DVDs with authentic Spanish. This DVD contains songs from Plaza Sésamo, which is the Mexican version of Sesame Street. Though it's sponsored by Sesame Workshop, however, it is not a dubbed version of Sesame Street, but a totally different show with many of its own characters. For example, instead of Big Bird it has Abelardo, a large bird with green feathers. At the same time, it incorporates some Sesame Street favorites like Bert (Beto), Ernie (Enrique) and Elmo. I think that makes it perfect for kids who watch Sesame Street, since they'll see those familiar faces.
I also love the songs on this DVD, as does my son. There's Abelardo singing "Me gusta ser yo" (I like being me), Elmo singing about the sounds all around us, etc. The songs are catchy and creative and the Spanish is not simplified at all, which is a big plus for me. Even for kids who are not bilingual, learning these songs would be a great introduction to Spanish. My son is two but I think that kids up to about age 6 would enjoy this DVD. And more than a few parents will too!

 Unable to see closed captionsJan 28, 2006
By Amy D.
This video is described as having closed-captions, and the case's label has the CC logo on it, however we are unable to see the closed captioning, and have tried it on 3 different DVD players including our home PC's DVD player.
I have searched online, and found that poor-quality compression can cause closed-captions to be lost....?? We are trying to learn spanish, and have found that Plaza Sesamo with closed-captioning on our local spanish television station is helpful - but we wanted to be able to track back to repeat sections.
So, we were disappointed that we can't get the captions. However, the content otherwise is quite charming.

Entertaining, Fun and AuthenticMar 24, 2011
By abcc05
I am a Hispanic mom who had a very hard time finding variety and culturally relevant and good quality DVDs in Spanish. I was pleasantly surprised with Vamos a Cantar. If you grew up in Latin America, some of the characters will bring back memories....BETO, ENRIQUE, LOLA, la Rana Renee. There are also special appearances by popular Mexican stars. I have a one year old and he loves this DVD. It's comprised of short little stories, all weaved in together nicely, and features lots of music and songs. It's good for little ones and perfect for dancing. This DVD is not ideally for someone who is wanting a DVD with a fun Spanish lesson or is wondering What is my kid going to learn by watching this? Spanish is spoken naturally (not slow like some other DVDs that make you want to snooze if you are a native speaker). This DVD is fun and entertaining for babies/kids who love music and families that appreciate the intricacies of the Hispanic culture.

 Too much singing, not enough real contentMar 04, 2008
By Mrs PPBoy
"Mrs PPBoy"
Bought this for my 17 month old (teaching her SPanish). She was not impressed. It is filled with song after song, but no skits, no real content. It gets tired, fast. You're better off getting "Me gusta ser yo" and "bienvenida la primavera".

 Songs are odd, not for teaching SpanishDec 28, 2007
By R. Lerman
Our bilingual toddlers (Caribbean Spanish) are bored and unengaged by this. The songs are hard for adults and kids to learn or follow. Just plain odd. Me Gusta Ser Yo is much more fun. Even though there are few quality choices in Spanish DVDs, skip this one.
