Learn About Dinosaur ABC’s DVD Review

Learn About Dinosaur ABC’s, distributed by Quest Media Inc. under the Treasure Box Collection label, is a low-budget animated production available on DVD. Roxy the Dinosaur is the poorly animated host of this half-hour program which consists of little more than static cartoon dinosaurs appearing one by one on-screen while the host provides a brief audio description of each one.

The information in the video is fairly useful, but the production values are poor to the point of being a significant distraction. The animation employs a minimal number of frames, making the action jerky and repetitive. The background audio is on a loop that repeats many times per minute. Basically, while the information may be good, there is nothing on-screen to hold a child’s attention. To make matters even worse, the DVD appears to be merely a transfer from videotape as evidenced by frequent tape glitches in the program.

The overwhelming poor quality of Learn About Dinosaur ABC’s makes this DVD a bad purchase. You will not have to look far to find a better educational video.
