I was pleasantly surprised to receive my Playmobil The Secret of Pirate Island DVD package for review! I received one DVD and press release. This is a completely different type of DVD. It has a setting where you can watch the movie all the way through, and an interactive version. When you watch the interactive version, at different points you will be asked 'What should we do?' and your child picks between 2 options. All in all you can come up with 28 different story combinations! Thats 29 different stories on one DVD. What a great value! The DVD also comes with a Free Kids Buffet offer from Cici's Pizza.
The Bottom Line: My daughter loved this DVD. We've never seen one like it! She loved picking where the story would go next. Thanks Playmobil for letting us review a copy!
* I received one (1) review copy of the Playmobil DVD to facilitate my honest review. No other compensation was or will be provided to me.
