Victorious Season One Volume One is the DVD debut for this popular new 'tween series on the Nickelodeon network. Victorious follows Tori Vega who attends a prestigious performing arts high school called Hollywood Arts. The school is filled with plenty of talented students, and Tori is overwhelmed at the beginning. As the show progresses, she starts to come out of her shell more and realizes she really is talented too. Luckily, her older sister Trina also attends the school, so she has a bit of back up, and she meets some other cool students - as well as a few mean ones. If your kids like iCarly or Glee, they'll probably enjoy this one too, if they haven't already discovered it! It's best for the ages 9 and up crowd, though as a parent, you may want to decide for yourself.
Victorious Season One Volume One contains the first ten episodes of the series on two discs, including the extended version of the pilot, where Tori's older sister Trina experiences an allergic reaction and can't sing during the big school showcase. Tori, who doesn't attend the school yet, fills in. She's such a hit that the school offers her admission, and her journey through high school at Hollywood Arts begins. (and there's even an honorable zombie mention, in the episode "Tori The Zombie"). Episodes included are: "Pilot (Extended Version", "The Bird Scene", "Stage Fighting", "Beck's Big Break", "Tori The Zombie", "Jade Dumps Back", "The Birthweek Song", "Robarazzi", "A Film By Dale Squires", and "Rex Dies".
The DVD does also include some special features, including a "Meet Tori Vega" and the rest of the cast, as well as two music videos: "Freak the Freak Out" and "Beggin' on Your Knees".
Victorious Season One Volume One will be released on Tuesday, July 5th, 2011. Full screen format, it is not rated (see above for my thoughts), and has a total running time of 243 minutes long. The suggested retail price is $19.99, but Amazon has it available on pre-order for $15.49 as of this posting. (Netflix users: this title is not currently available, but add it to your DVD queue to be notified when it is.)
I received a copy of this DVD in order to share my thoughts on it. All opinions are my own.
