This was a gift for my grandson which I watched with him. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. I bought one for myself. I love Beatrix Potter. :)

Miss Potter was the best writer of children stories. The DVD's are perfect in widescreen and the delivery came on time, you couldn't ask for anything better.

Regarding the 3/08 BBC 3-DVD release, "The Beatrix Potter collection"--The Beatrix Potter Collection: This excellent and charming 1990s, British animation series of nine Beatrix-Potter tales, initially called "The world of Peter Rabbit and friends," was previously released on DVD in 2/04 by GoodTimes as "The complete Beatrix Potter collection"--Complete Beatrix Potter Collection 2pk, a box set consisting of two slipcased thick-case DVDs. The Goodtimes release also lacks extras (shame!), is in 4:3 colour and Dolby 2.0 stereo, but claims 235 minutes total. GoodTimes sequences the tales as follows:
BBC DVD 1 = GoodTimes 1/1 2/3 2/2 (DVD/tale)
BBC DVD 2 = GoodTimes 1/4 1/2 1/3
BBC DVD 3 = GoodTimes 2/4 2/1 1/5
Quality of the GoodTimes release is very good (the animations are uncompressed). I've not seen the BBC 3/08 release. The GoodTimes 2-DVD set is currently available at 2/3 the cost (list price) of the BBC 3-DVD set.
The series stars Niamh Cusack (born in Dublin 20 Oct. 1959) as a very effective (but voiceless) Beatrix Potter (born 28 July 1866, South Kensington, London, died 22 Dec. 1943, Castle Cottage, Near Sawrey, age 77), with scenes from Potter's cottage and environs at Near Sawrey in England's Lake District. Voices of the animated characters include some very famous actors, as Patricia Routledge (as Cousin Ribby), Derek Jacobi (as Mr. Jeremy Fisher), and Hugh Laurie (Johnny Town-Mouse).

If you're looking for a high-tech flashy modern children's movie; look elsewhere. This is simple fun animal stories with simple animated movements. Great for 2-6 year olds.

This collection holds the attention of my 19 month-old grandaughter very well. She loves to listen, hum & sway to the music, see the real animals and people and follows the animation. She seems to understand when something silly or bad happens.
The artwork is as close to Miss Potter's as if she animated it herself!
My daughter discovered that Hugh Laurie (House MD) does some of the major voices!
The price was very reasonable as well.
