Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I am not fully decided on this one yet. I like the idea of characters and items being made out of words. However, like one of the other posters on here, I find duck annoying (especially his horrible fake twangy accent). I also find the plot line slow. However, my 4 year old loves it. She likes that everything is made of letters. It doesn't keep her from reading --- she is reading at a 2nd or 3rd grade level. However, some days mom needs a little break and some days she gets to watch 20-30 minutes of TV. So I think if she likes it, I'd rather her watch this than a lot of other cartoons out there. I like LIttle Einsteins and My Friends TIgger and Pooh, but I don't like Phineas and Ferb and never gotten into the WOnderpets.

My 2 1/2 year old daughter absolutely has been memorized by the show since we found it a little over a year ago. She instantly loved Dog and Duck. Soon after that she was trying to "build a word" with her foam letters and easily started saying her letters.Some of the best things the show has going for it are (from the site): "WordWorld is grounded in scientifically based reading research and incorporates the recommendations of the landmark report Teaching Children to Read by the National Reading Panel (2000). "" Literacy experts and advisors in the fields of child development, psychology and education are an integral part of the WordWorld team and review content throughout the development process.""The curriculum draws from four skill sets critical for young children's emergent literacy: print awareness, phonological sensitivity and letter knowledge, comprehension (including vocabulary development) and socio-emotional skills. " It has won an EMMY and the Gold PARENTS' CHOICE AWARDS.Hands down it is one of the best kids show that is one of the few that are top of the class. This is one of the must see shows on TV if you want your child to learn something while watching TV.

I turn Word World on for my three year old son every morning and he loves watching his "friends" Frog, Pig, Duck, Ant, Sheep, Dog, Bear and the rest of the gang make words from letters and make a new word, for example: P-I-E is Pie or B-A-L-L is Ball . He loves the characters for they are fun, colorful and relay on one another for help and teaches about friendship. They teach us not to judge a person by the way they look or for what there name is but to judge them for who they are on the inside. It shows that one word can be made into a different word with the same letters like T-O-P top can be P-O-T pot, or words rhyme with other words like T-I-E tie rhymes with P-I-E pie. At the end of the show they have a catchy song as they build the last word and then after the word is finished. This show has helped him to pick up reading and spelling and he doesn't care cause it such a fun show to watch with him. Its the perfect for children and parents to sit down together and interact with by saying the letters, or allow the child to name the letters they see, and words they spell on the show. If your looking to start your child in spelling and reading this is one you should allow them watch.

Wow. I caught this show by chance one day and was so impressed I had to look it up to watch it again. What a wonderful and fun way to teach spelling! In this computed-animated show, all of the animal friends, main scenery, and "props" are made out of the letters of their word. You have to see it to truly appreciate it. There is a dog made out of the letters d-o-g, a house formed from the letters for house, etc. Heck, during a camping episode if you look closely you will see that the flames of the fire are made out of f-i-r-e. The adventures of these animal friends center around building items from the letters that form their word. For example, when the pig is "baking" a birthday cake, he grabs the letters c, a, k and e then when he puts them together, the word animates to form a cake (with frosting!) out of the letters. In another episode, the frog and dog are building a tent, and the tent won't go up until, after several tries, they finally sound out the word and put the letters in the correct order. The animated adventures are split into roughly 10 minute segments, perfect for the very young age group that is obviously targeted.If the quality of the show stays the same as the few episodes I've seen, I'd buy this series on DVD in a second.
