TURN-ONS AND TURN-OFFS IN CURRENT HOME ENTERTAINMENT RELEASES : Excellent Good Fair Poor

“Meet Your Animal Friends.” Children’s Video Library. $29.95. “See the geese? Hello, geese! See the geese walk?” So it goes, as Lynn Redgrave brightly narrates a series of nicely shot film clips showing 23 rather dull domesticated critters. Adults will tire of all the pigs, rabbits, llamas and yaks staring at the camera, accompanied by Redgrave’s condescending Dick-and-Jane patter. The educational value is marginal--it’s difficult to gauge the size of the subjects, and only scant information is given. Still, there’s no denying the fascination of children for animals--even boring ones. Information: (203) 968-0100. 1/2
