Stanley - Hop to It
by Jeff Buckland
from Disney Home Entertainment
Playhouse Disney's preschool cartoon features Stanley Griff, an endearing kid with an enormous imagination who learns about life through his love of animals. Each of the four stories presents a pintsize "messy" dilemma and unfolds a solution that showcases a particular critter. For example, in "Kangaroo Clean Up," a cluttered bedroom seems impossible to straighten until Stanley learns about the hop-to-it methods of a kangaroo. In "The Big Spill," a tipped bowl of milk ignites the boy's curiosity to consider the slurping habits of an anteater. Whether learning to hang out like a sloth or march like an army of ants, Stanley's tutorials become hands-on adventures when he jumps into the pages of his handy hardback, The Great Big Book of Everything. He is instantly transported to the savannah or jungle with his sidekick, Dennis, a good-natured goldfish who offers sage advice. Sweet without being sappy, Stanley is a breath of fresh air in the realm of children's programming. (Ages 2 to 7) --Lynn Gibson
