In Merry Tweenie Christmas, Milo, Bella, Fizz and Jake, sing and dance
in six stories relating to the festive season:
The Fallen Star
The Christmas Fairy
Santa's Little Helper
The Nativity
Christmas Eve
Frosty Day
Like the previous releases, this is presented in an anamorphic 16:9 widescreen
ratio, with a superb picture quality that's packed with colours and will
capture the attention of its intended audience.
The average bitrate is 5.11Mb/s, often peaking over 8Mb/s.
When it comes to sound, again the mix is of a series of songs and chat with
the Tweenies being their usual loud selves.
Extras :
As usual, the only extra is a "Surprise Me" random play feature which works
well but only for the first story chosen. After that it will play the rest
in order until the end of the programme.
All the dialogue is in English and has subtitles in English (for the deaf and
hard of hearing). There are 7 chapters, which normally isn't enough for
something this long, but it separates each individual story here.
The main menu is animated with no sound.
Overall, if you've bought the first two DVDs for your kids and they enjoy
it, then the quality of the presentation is the same here so it'll make
another worthwhile purchase for them.
