Dinner for Two

A peaceful day in the rainforest turns ugly when two chameleons simultaneously launch their tongues at the same tasty morsel, latch on, and neither will let go. The duo's duel is finally settled when a pair of gators force the lizards to step back and take a look at "the big picture," so to speak, and a frog steps in to mediate. Cute? Yes. Predictable? Yes. Food for thought? No. According to the video box of this award winner, "young children to senior executives can identify with the characters and gain insight..." I submit that there's a difference between a 4-year-old and a CEO, or at least there oughta be. If a senior executive "gained insight" from this transparently simplistic exercise in conflict resolution, I'd recommend that a replacement be found as soon as possible. On the other hand, since the program is reasonably entertaining and would, in fact, appeal to 4-year-olds, consider this an optional purchase for budget-flush daycares and elementary schools.
