Special Features: Full Frame Format. Review: Great for introductory French - We previewed this DVD yesterday to determine if we wanted to purchase the other 2 in the set. I kept in mind what other reviewers said as well. The animation reminds me of PBS. It's obviously been released on VHS as instructions for pressing play, stop, etc. on a VCR are given. The animation is also not computer generated so some children may be put off about it. It reminds me of some of the PBS animated reading programs. At least you don't have to worry about out-dated fashions. It's just a cat in simple clothing. I am also a certified foreign language teacher Pre-K-12 and I am aware of what is out there for young children. I think this is a good supplementary/support-type product, but I wouldn't rely on it alone to teach your child French. Of the products I viewed, I believe this one is the best for the younger children. I'm not sure about the upper age range for the product, but I think you could use it with a child younger than 4. I don't think you'd want to go lower than 2, especially with the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendations about viewing for under age 2. In the segment that we viewed, we were introduced in English to the cat, Moustache and his parents. Most of the dialogue was in English so I'm not sure how well this would work with a child who had a different primary language. Each phrase was said 3 times with the sentence presented on the screen with it. I don't see any young child (2-6) sitting through the entire DVD without adult interaction. As a teacher, I said the phrases with my daughter and even added some gestures, so I will admit all her attention was not on the DVD. I think 5-10 minutes is the max you could expect. Not a babysitting DVD. I'm looking for another program that has more action and play activities. For preschoolers who want to learn Spanish, I still love Boca Beth, but there doesn't seem to be the French equivalent. I believe Hop, Skip, and Jump in French would be a good alternative, but it's only currently available on CD format. I wasn't thrilled with Beth Manners' French series. They are repetitive and probably only one of them would suffice. There are some French Canadian children's DVDs, but I don't recall the names of them. Perhaps desertcart Canada has them. Review: Cute & Educational - I was not sure what to expect, and when we received it, my 6 year old son, (who is very boysh and mature at the same time and just loves speaking different idioms), just could not stop enjoying it, watching and repeating the music and frases, he really enjoys it and even though is very basic, it is well spoken by natives and show a great mixture of cartoon with reallity. Surely a kid will not be able to speak the language after learning the basics of this movie though, it is a great and smooth introduction to the language. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Malcolm Hossick, Marie-Pierre Moine | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 88 Reviews | | Format | Animated, Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC | | Genre | Educational | | Language | French | | Runtime | 50 minutes | ## Images ![Bonjour Les Amis!, Vol. 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/414OuxSHbdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for introductory French *by K***A on November 21, 2007* We previewed this DVD yesterday to determine if we wanted to purchase the other 2 in the set.

My 5 year old daughter loves it and quickly memorized the songs and lots of words. I am from a french speaking country and want to introduce my daughter to the language of Moliere. Although I speak sometimes in French to my daughter and wife who does not know French, this dvd reinforces French learning. The lessons are well and simply structured from greetings to colors, numbers, social/family events like birthdays. the graphics are suitable to kids and grasp their attention and words are repeated over and over for better understanding. I look forward to the 2nd volume for my daughter and wife after watching a few more times vol. 1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7901275-bonjour-les-amis-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7901275-bonjour-les-amis-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
