Terrible, terrible, waste of time and money.
Customer Rating: 
Out of the 20 minutes this video runs, it seems like maybe 1 minute actually shows a kid on the potty. From most to least, this video spends time on the following:
- big kid underwear
- things big kids do (climb trees, ride bikes, etc)
- where different animals go potty
- the "big kid parade" (what?)
- what's *not* a potty ("is this a potty?" game)
- washing hands (after using the potty)
- wiping
- actually using the potty
My son seems to really enjoy the video - he asks to watch it over and over again. But he expresses no interest in using his potty while watching it, or after. The video spends way, way, way too much time trying to convince little kids that they really want to be big kids. It's like a big kid propaganda movie. And, even so, it barely makes the connection between being a big kid and using a potty. By the time my son is old enough to fall prey to the manipulation they're trying to use in this video, he'll already have learned how to use a potty. Oh, and the songs are pretty dumb and the narrator sounds like a Stepford Wife.
We had borrowed an old copy of "Once Upon A Potty" from a friend, and while it seemed a little weird, our son *immediately* asked to sit on his potty. That video is filled with kids sitting on the potty, and actually shows a cartoon kid trying to use it, and succeeding. And when they sing the (admittedly goofy) "Potty Song," the video again shows kids actually sitting on the potty -- unlike in "Go Potty Go," in which cartoon animals sing the song while showing off underwear.
The main point of any decent potty video should be to get a kid, who is perfectly content to pee and poop in his diaper, to want to use a potty, instead. This video fails, miserably.
DO NOT BUY THIS.
