Review title: Awful - Ruined a children's classic
Product review: How is it possible to turn a delightfully illustrated children's classic into a cheesy, live-action '80s DVD with absolutely none of the charm, or even the basic premise, of the original? It would have been so easy to just copy what the book did. This is an absolutely dreadful dramatization of a wonderful children's book. It's a horrible conception from start to finish - first, why not animate (or at least use the book's terrific illustrations)? Then, why alter a wonderful story, and add cheesy cartoonish action? The Corduroy bear could have had a cute voice and at the very least repeated the lines from the book. Instead, he is frankly like a horror-film bear -- he had my husband and me laughing and groaning, at the same time. My son, a huge Corduroy fan, lost interest after the first minute.Scholastic, shame on you for letting this dreck muck up your prestigious reputation. It's not worthy of the title Corduroy, let alone the brand Scholastic.
