Skeeter and the Mystery of the Lost Mosquito Treasure DVD Review

Sibling Rivalry can sometimes be a big issue in a household and in others kids may feel that they are different. Those are two big issues that I think kids today are facing and as parents it can be tough to guide them the right way. Well thanks to Thomas Nelson Publishers I have been given a copy of their newest dvd called “Skeeter and the Mystery of the Lost Mosquito Treasure.” It is a dvd based on Max Lucado’s Hermie and Friends series and it is adorable. After watching this dvd, I could not help but look at the other ones in the series as I am sure they are all as wonderful as this one.

The theme of this cartoon movie is “Being Unique” and it is such a great display of showing that it is okay to be different. I remember I was a little eccentric as a child and my mom would always say “Be yourself” and “There is nothing wrong with being unique.”

The video is about two brothers, Skeeter and Sir Sinclair, who couldn’t be more different. Skeeter is overshadowed by his “perfect” brother Sir Sinclair M. Skeeto, the world famous adventurer, whom everyone loves and is in awe of. They are in search of a treasure that is on a treasure map left to them by their father. The two brothers each realize their strengths and work together. Aidan loves this dvd as not only is it featuring cartoon bugs but it does have some action. I would say this dvd is perfect for any child 2 and up, although Aidan is 26 months and doesn’t understand just yet the theme, but that’s okay because some day he will hopefully!

This 60-minute long dvd not only has wonderful animation, but it also features the voices of some favorite celebrities: John O’Hurley, Tim Conway, Rob Pottorf, and Melissa Disney. When you are done watching the dvd, there are also some neat special features when you play it on the computer. Kids can sing along to “Super Skeeter,” save their own computer wallpapers, print coloring pages, watch short films about Hermie, play a trivia game and more!
