DVD review: Minnie's Bow-Tique, with clips

If your kids like the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, they will love Disney's recently released Minnie's Bow-Tique. The 96-minute DVD includes four entertaining and educational stories featuring my daughter's hero, Minnie Mouse, plus two interactive remote-controlled games and a Minnie bow frame magnet.

Even though the selections--Minnie's Bow-Tique, Minnie's Pajama Story, Minnie's Bee Story, and Minnie's Picnic--are packaged as little girls' answer to Mickey's Choo-Choo Express, both my (almost) three-year-old son and two-year-old daughter adore every episode, especially the title pick.

Though I try to avoid using the TV as a babysitter, this DVD was an absolute lifesaver a few weeks ago when a stomach virus had me nearly incapacitated for an entire day while my husband was at work. Our DVD player had been on the fritz, too, and somehow the stars aligned to keep it running Minnie's Bow-Tique at least five or six times back-to-back until I could emerge from my fetal position on the couch (and unlike a lot of kids' programming, it didn't make my headache or nausea worse). The kids were enthralled, and eager to "help" Minnie and her friends resort her fallen bows after "Goopy" knocked them down off the shelf.

You can find Minnie's Bow-Tique on Amazon for $15.49 or at Target for $14.99. From my experience, the movie is worth every penny, but check out these clips to decide for yourself.
