Disclosure: I received a copy of Minnie’s The Wizard of Dizz DVD to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.
We will be taking a trip to Disney this year and although my boys love several of the Disney Channel characters (think Phineas and Ferb) they really haven’t been well acquainted with the characters that made Disney what it is today. I figure it would be really worth our effort to get them familiarized with a lot of the Disney characters. I went out and bought Lilo and Stitch because we are having a breakfast with them one day, and I even picked up Tangled since I’m sure we will be seeing some of the princesses running around. That is why I was really excited to get Minnie’s The Wizard of Dizz DVD.
Not only does Minnie’s The Wizard of Dizz let them spend some time with all the Disney Clubhouse crew but it also introduces the kids the the classic story of the Wizard of Oz without the scary flying monkeys!
I put Minnie’s The Wizard of Dizz on the other day for Lorenzo to watch. He loved it. He actually sat and watched the whole show, which I wasn’t sure he was going to do since he is only 3 and longer shows often bore him. He did get a little tired of it once we moved on to the bonus features, but that is to be expected since his attention span isn’t that long.
Besides the featured Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Wizard of Dizz! there are two additional episodes on the DVD. They are The Golden Boo-Boo and Goofy’s Gone. The DVD also has 10 Minnie’s Bow Toons and a free download of the Minnie Bow Maker digital book app. The whole DVD retails in the US for $19.99 and $24.99 in Canada. It will be available in stores June 11, 2013.
