DVD Review: Hi 5 Playing Cool
Reviewed by Sally Murphy

Fun and learning at the same time.



The team from Hi 5 continue to sing, dance and smile their way to success. Playing Cool, already platinum on video sales, is now avaialable on DVD, and youngsters will find it, well, 'cool'.

Hi 5's style could perhaps be described as 'kid pop', which is probably why they appeal. They are not too far different than some of the pop acts older siblings, cousins or even Mum and Dad might be watching and singing along to. They are bright, full of music and catchy tunes.

In this offering Charlie heads outdoors to the beach, Kathleen plays police woman and solves a msyetry (with some help from Jup Jup) and Tim, the King of Rock, twists and shakes. In all, there is nearly an hour of movement and sound for children to get involved in.

Features of the DVD are three karaole songs and child friendly menus (also a relief for Mum and Dad).

Good fun.
