Amazon.com: Based on the books by children's author Marcus Pfister, the adventures of the Rainbow Fish and Dazzle the Dinosaur are brought to life through animation. The Rainbow Fish tells the story of a beautiful fish so mesmerized by his own sparkling scales that he fails to realize how his vanity compromises his friendships. In Dazzle the Dinosaur, Dazzle and his pal Maia take on the mean Dragonsaurus to win back their home. Featuring songs and quaintly drawn characters, the two shorts teach lessons about sharing and courage. At 15 minutes apiece, these animated cartoons have a wholesome message to impart, they're not condescending to their kids & family audience, and they make for a great rainy-day diversion. --Shannon Gee

Rating: - Nice but short
It is very cute 2 stories. My children (3 and 5 year old) liked it). But remember it is only 30 min DVD. I think it is very expensive for a such short play time.
Rating: - Fintastic
My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves it. Be borrowed it of a friend 3 months ago and had it for 2 weeks in which time i think we nearly wore it out. Since giving it back she still asks for it so im buying it for us. We have another rainbow fish movie but none seems to quiet equal the one with dazzel the dinosaur. We didnt find it scarey!
Rating: - 4-year old loves Dazzle the Dinosaur
My 4-year old daughter likes The Rainbow Fish, but she especially loves Dazzle the Dinosaur. It is a story about how two young dinosaurs, Maia and Dazzle, reclaim their family's rightful home from the mean Dragonsaurus. She especially likes the video musical score ". . . it's all about courage, believing in yourself . . ." as the two go about their mission. My daughter also has the book, which we read to her at night.
Rating: - The Rainbow Fish and Dazzle The Dinosaur
I just bought this video for my 2 year old and I'm so disappointed. We just love the board book Rainbow Fish, so I assumed, wrongly so, that this video was age specific, and therefore perfect for her. It has two scary scenes with a big toothed shark chasing Rainbow Fish as well as a snaggly toothed dinosaur who roars and tries to get Rainbow Fish. It starts with Rainbow Fish being so unkind to his fellow ocean creatures. Even though the ending teaches a lesson, it comes too late into the story, and appears to be insincere. I would not recommend this video to anyone.
Rating: - A first grade teacher's opinion
I bought this video two years ago and have found that the children really love it. I show it on rainy days for recess, and it has served to spark many valuable conversations about the morals discussed, interested the children in reading the other books in the series, and interested them in a wonderful card game that has been produced to go with the story. They love both stories and want to watch them over and over.
