This DVD addresses the important topics of safety awareness and stranger danger for children. In addition to the cartoons themselves, there is a special “safety tip” section that does a wonderful job of addressing how to watch for predators and gives practical tips on keeping children safe.
Both cartoons, Never Trust a Krum and Da’Codfather are filled with catchy songs, good principles and loveable characters. However, the sheriff in Never Trust a Krum is a bit intimidating for the youngest viewers, and the fight scene is intense. Nevertheless, with parental supervision, this is a great tool to teach kids safety concepts in ways they can comprehend and enjoy.
