The Odyssey, a Journey Back Home

This movie was terrific and easy to follow. Great for the whole family. I bought this DVD for our church library. These old classics aren't always taught in school, so you have a chance to see the story at home. Homer would be glad to see a new generation enjoy his story.

I have been a great fan of the classic story of the Odyssey by Homer since I was a child. I've introduced the Odyssey to my four year old son with books geared mainly for older children which have been too violent or too adult in theme. I found this re-telling of the odyssey in cartoon format to be perfect for my four year old. It tells the rather violent episodes of the odyssey in a less violent and gentle way. The music and voices are heroic and exciting. The animation is realistic and well done. This video did a good job of introducing this timeless classic for children and I would recommend it for children 3 years and older. I and my four year old son had a good time and enjoyed the video.
