Our Friend Martin [VHS]

Too expensive. (2010-03-01) Rating: 4/5
Our Friend Martin is a wonder cartoon video with flashback of real news footage from the 1960s. Great teach tool for educators and for family viewing. My complaint is only the $79.00 price tag for this film.
If my son had not made a special birthday request for this video, which he had viewed in school, I would have never paid $79.00. Half this price would be more more reasonable. My only consolation is that the historical content of the movie makes it a keepsake item.

This is very good for school age children, we show it at our elementary school. I HAVE HAD THIS SINCE IT CAME OUT IN 1999 AND THE CHILDREN LOVE IT, but the price for the dvd is ridiculous fifty dollars
Great Teaching Tool (2009-11-04) Rating: 5/5
This DVD tells about the life of Dr. Martin Luther King in a way that spans several age groups. I purchased the video cassette about 9 years ago for my daughter's K4 class. I have since purchased additional copies and donated to teachers and libraries in my community. The material even appeals to the upper elementary grade students. This is a great teaching tool.
Great for the classroom! (2009-02-19) Rating: 5/5
I use this every year for Black History month. Kids love it of all ages. It has some big names performing in the cartoon. A great buy.

I originally purchased this for a friend who is also a teacher, however after seeing it, I decided I wanted one for my classroom as well! It is a great mix of animation and actual footage. My friend teaches in the primary grades and we both felt additional instruction and explanation might be necessary for that audience. I teach upper elementary and the DVD will support a basal reader selection quite nicely and without additional instruction. Highly recommend.
