Ollie is a playful puppy whose colorful imagination turns every day into an adventure. His doggie daydreams transform the ordinary world into a showcase for fanciful fun.

 

Puppy Plays the Classics follows Ollie and his fellow puppies Patches, Buster, Biscuit, Ginger, Rosie, Hasty, Chippy, Squeaky as they learn valuable life lessons, all set to classical music. There are five chapters; in each, a common catch phrase is learned, but without dialogue. Each story is set to classical music. The puppies learn the meaning of expressions like “It’s what’s inside that counts,” ”Don’t judge a book by its cover,” “Treat others as you want to be treated,”  “A friend in need is a friend indeed,” and “Early to bed, early to rise makes a puppy healthy and wise.”

 

In the chapter entitled “Treat others as you want to be treated”, a mean big dog bullies a smaller dog and steals his toy. The conflict is resolved when two puppies that had not previously been friendly, join forces to get back their toys. There is no other problematic subject matter in any of the stories.

 

This DVD presents lessons about empathy, treating others with respect, not judging others, and friendship. The lessons are presented through actions and emotions of the puppies, while being set to the music of some of the greatest composers of all time: Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Schubert, and Wagner.

 

Because of its many beneficial lessons for young children, the Parents Television Council is proud to present Puppy Plays the Classics with the PTC Seal of ApprovalTM. The PTC recommends this DVD for children over the age of 2.
