Featured review
Fire indeed hot
Another education piece by Disney. I realize that this was made and released(well, at the very least, the latter of those two) before the other I commented on("...having fun"), but the first thing that struck me was how much(for something of such length... it's only eight minutes, people) animation and audio was reused(basically whatever they could get away with, it seems, whatever was vague enough that it fit both). This gives you something of a background story on the natural element in question, and even delivers some information about how it "works"(though without going into a complete physics lesson). The tips aren't bad, even if at least one point is ruined by a ridiculous amount of exaggeration. The concept and execution are as close to the other I reviewed(these are the only two I remember seeing) as humanly possible, so these really have nothing to offer as separate entities but the safety stuff... apart from that, watch one and you've seen them all, even that annoying(and way too catchy) theme song barely changes at all, just a few of the lyrics. The mocking and not particularly funny humor remains. I recommend this to parents who in general are partial to Disney, to show their kids... even if they don't fear that they've been breeding a tiny pyromaniac. 7/10
