Dan Zanes & Friends - All Around the Kitchen! Crazy Videos & Concert Songs!

Amazon.com

With his trademark happy hair and spirited band comes Dan Zanes in his first-ever DVD, a concert/video collection of sing along melodies blending rock, folk, and global rhythms into a homespun musical menagerie. Formerly with the Del Fuegos band and riding on the success of seven CDs, Zanes presents All Around the Kitchen! featuring nine musical selections performed live in concert at New York's Knitting Factory. Whether familiar songs such as "Hokey Pokey" and "Polly Wolly Doodle," or lesser known numbers like "Malti," Zanes takes traditional music, winsomely turns it on its head, and adds such diverse instruments as accordion, banjo, upright bass, mandolin, and ukulele. On the program's alternative track, viewers can choose among a half dozen music videos pulsating with kids, street scenes, dancing, singing, and jubilant acoustics. There is "House Party Time," "All Around the Kitchen," and "Hello" as seen on Noggin, as well as "Jump Up" and "Go Down Emmanuel Road" performed on Sesame Street. Zanes' soulful musicians, contagious enthusiasm, and all-inclusive approach to music make this a song-and-dance fest where everyone finds a voice. (All ages) --Lynn Gibson

Dan Zanes & Friends.......2007-08-23

The video was OKAY. My daughter wasn't interested or amused after the first few minutes. If your'e really looking for a great sing and dance vidoes to keep your infant/toddler excited try The Lauri Berkner Band.

SO much fun!.......2007-08-11

I just love this band! My 2 1/2 year old daughter and I dance around and sing to this dvd every day. I love that they use instruments you don't hear every day. I love that their music is upbeat and happy and very eclectic. I love that this video is simple and not a huge production but mostly I love that these people seem to really enjoy making music together. That energy reaches out and grabs you. We can't wait until Dan Zanes and Friends tour our town!

not what i hoped for.......2007-07-23

Unfortunatley I bought this for my 2 yr old nephew, and he does not like it at all. My sister said he walked away from it 1/2 way thru a song, she said it was too hippyish . I heard this guy Dan Zanes was great. Still have not listened to it myself. Maybe my nephew is just to active for this.

visually dull.......2007-05-25

The concert and videos are not visually appealing for the young ones. The image quality and footage of concert is a VERY small step above amateur. If your child is a fan of the colorful Dan Zanes videos on TV, this video is not the same.

Great Video.......2007-05-10

My 2 1/2 yr. old loves to dance around to this video and I enjoy watching it with her. It's a little bit hip (so you don't feel like you are watching Barney) but still kid friendly.

WHEN BAD MOVIES HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE.......2005-06-12

I'm actually too drained to write this review -- bad movies always do that to me -- but I feel obligated, as if it's my civic duty, to warn anyone who might be considering purchasing or viewing this god-awful mess-of-a-picture. Please, please, just take my word: this is one you'll want to stay away from. It's so boring and dull, so insipid and uninspired, such a poor excuse to assemble any familiar talent. Burt Reynolds? Wasted (despite his best efforts). Ice-T is barely in the film, and when he does appear on screen his performance is so restrained and muted that it becomes crystal clear that the director, perhaps intimidated by Ice's intense stare, didn't know what to do with him. Rob Lowe, as the title character, has never displayed so little on-screen charisma. Mario Van Peebles should be ashamed of himself; his performance is, in the saddest sense possible, a joke. Surely, Satan himself signed Mario's check for this film. The plot is as weak, half-baked and annoying as all the music involved (the utterly boring club song seems to continue on, literally, for the first third of the movie). The film's look will prompt one to seriously wonder if the Director of Photography was also forced, like one of the film's forgettable female characters, to smoke crack from a pipe duct-taped to his mouth. And if you're looking, at least, for stylized, shoot-'em-up-type violence you'll get none here. This film, I assure you, I promise you, has Absolutely no redeeming qualities! Please, I implore you, AVOID THIS FLICK! Don't put it in and get suckered into believing that its pace will pick up, it'll get better, and evolve into a decent denouement. It won't. It doesn't. It can't! IT SUCKS! Now, you have been warned, and I can now go to bed (It's 3am - please forgive any resulting errors this admonition might contain) -- knowing my conscience is clear, because I've done my civic duty for my fellow man!

An embarrassment for all involved.......2001-08-19

This is without a doubt the worst movie I've seen in a long, long time. And unfortunately I've seen a lot of those lately, but never mind. How it was possible to get all the famous people who star in this poor excuse for a movie to appear, is probably going to be the question of the century. This is simply put an embarrassment for all these, otherwise fine, actors. They should be deeply ashamed. (I know their fans will be.) What were they thinking ?. -They were making a "serious" action movie, because it takes place someplace in Eastern Europe ?!. Reynolds is wasted completely as a dubious yankie abroad, saying lines that are badder than Madonna's dancing. -Yes, it's that bad. Lowe, as a druggie, is almost unrecognizable under a silly wig and Van Peebles' laughable druglord has got to be seen to be believed. Nothing holds your interest in this "movie" because nothing is happening, except ... music, awful lightning and quick MTV cuts. There's no story, either. Enough reasons to make anyone with the slightest interest in films stay away, if you ask me. In other words, it bears all the earmarks of a director more at home in video clips or TV commercials. -Another proof they make the worst directors. Oh, by the way, the DVD is full-screen despite the fact that the movie plays on TV occasionally in its original 2.35:1 widescreen format. Odd, very odd. Either way; avoid at all cost.

Good action, no brain needed :).......2001-08-08

Stilish action, nice filmmaker. Cool down your mind and take some fun from shootings. 4 stars for action, -1 star for Dolby Prologic sound. :( Good-priced movie.

This may be the worst movie I've ever seen........2001-06-04

Incredibly bad. I'm a big Burt Reynolds fan, but he must have fallen on hard times to make trash like this. I'd wager it's the same thing with Rob Lowe. Pretty talented guys, but nothing can save this convoluted story and writing. Horrible stuff!

t could act who knew?.......2001-04-26

plot is weak but i actually enjoyed it and t was pretty cool and this is for any of his fans
