Comments on: Duck and Dive http://dizzcity.com/2009/11/01/duck-and-dive/ A multiplicity of things, so much that it makes one dizzy Mon, 10 May 2010 09:34:47 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Joshua http://dizzcity.com/2009/11/01/duck-and-dive/comment-page-1/#comment-197 Joshua Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:50:59 +0000 http://dizzcity.com/?p=562#comment-197 Hi Amelia, While I can understand your criticisms - the kid next to me hid his face every time the heron came out - I still think it can be considered a family-friendly show, though. I remember when I was young, I was scared by the villains in the old Disney animated films too... never would watch those scenes. But I would repeatedly watch the happier moments of the Disney cartoons, and that's something which I think Duck and Dive managed to capture well. So even though children may be scared, I think they would enjoy the good parts of the show well enough to like it overall. About the length, though, I have nothing to say. It IS fairly long - just over two hours, I think (discounting the intermission). But hey, that's about the length of a typical blockbuster film anyway. It's not too bad, and there's sufficient variety to keep children interested, I think. Hi Amelia,

No doubt their music, story & costumes are good but it is not a family-friendly show. It is quite scary when the prince turn into a frog and the heron. There are quite a lots of children cried because of that scene. Don't say about the children, even adult are scared of that effect. From the point of effect, it is successful. But from the point of family friendly, sorry to say that it failed. One more thing is the show is a bit lengthy which is not suitable for children to watch. As we know children has a shorter attention span. All in all, I am quite dissapointed with the show. I am quite disagree with your comment though .
