When I got this in the mail I looked at the cover and it was in French. I love that language but was hoping for an English translation. Well, I was advised by Chapters ONline support to open it and behold, the dvd has an English option! The stories are fun to watch and suitable for older children and adults alike. The plots are quickly developed and you do have to pay attention to follow the story line. I like these better than the books but the books are great too.
