#MOUSTERPIECE SO DEAR TO MY HEART MOVIE#
I highly recommend this movie to any grandparents or parents for their children. They will now have the fun of a clean, fun and happy experience, which is how movies for children USED to be made!!! Now that my son also has children, I wanted the video for his children, now 4+ and 2+, and I was delighted to find it on eBay. Then I loaned the other video to a friend for her little ones to watch and never received it back. In 1996 when I became a gramma, I gave one copy to my daughter for her little ones. In 1992 I purchased 2 of these at Wal-Mart, so one day I could share with my "hoped for" grandchildren.
When I was just a little person, I saw this movie in a theater and fell in love with it.
