DVD Review & Giveaway: Charlie and Lola Volume Ten: I Can't Stop Hiccuping

My family and I recently received the new animated DVD Charlie and Lola Volume Ten: I Can't Stop Hiccuping to review.


If you are unfamiliar with the Charlie and Lola series, it is produced by the BBC and aired on Playhouse Disney. It features brother and sister, Charlie and Lola, and is based on a series of children's books by Lauren Child. Lola is the little sister with a huge imagination, and Charlie is more down to earth, and very patient with Lola. The TV animation is very close to the silly drawing of the books, if you are familiar with any of them. (Check out I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato if you'd like to get introduced to the books via the library - it's a hoot!)

Charlie and Lola Volume Ten: I Can't Stop Hiccuping features nine episodes, including "I Can't Stop Hiccuping", "I Am Completely Hearing And Also Listening", "Our Shop Sells Everything", "I've Got Nobody To Play With", "Thunder Completely Does Not Scare Me", "I Really Absolutely Must Have Glasses", "It Is Very Special And Extremely Ancient", "But Marv Is Absolutely Charlie's Best Friend", and "I am Inventing A Usefulish Invention".

I enjoy the stories on the show as Mom - it doesn't tire me out or grate on my nerves as some shows can. And, I totally love the little accents of the characters. And the fact that Charlie and Lola get along so well.

Because you know, I can see a smack down if one ever becomes two around here.

Charlie and Lola Volume Ten: I Can't Stop Hiccuping was released on March 9th, 2010. It runs 99 minutes long (just about 11 minutes per episode), and is widescreen edition.
