My daughter just received this video for her 2nd birthday and is obsessed with it.
Great Video! 5 out of 5 stars.

My son is 3 1/2 and my daughter is 1 1/2 and the both LOVE this movie. They have watched it over and over and it keeps their attention. We will definitely be buying more Jay Jay movies.
Wholesome, but better for older toddlers 4 out of 5 stars.

I like this video a lot, it is wholesome, pleasant and has nice story lines. No dark, sinister stuff here. My problem is that I bought this for my 27 month old, and the mysteries are a little beyond him right now. There are several mystery stories and a few "non mystery" stories, so we just forward to the "non mystery" stories and he enjoys them. I imagine he will be really into the mystery based in about a year, but for now, he's really just wanting to see Jay-Jay, Tracy and the gang in flight.
Perfect for my 5-year old! 5 out of 5 stars.

My 5-year old daughter absolutely loves the Mysteries! She's spouting information that she learned for hours after each episode. "Momma, did you know..." These are great for a pre-K!

Where's teh theme song 2 out of 5 stars.
5 of 10 people found this review helpful.
I was horrified when the theme song was missing from this DVD. My 4 year old son has autism and goes through periods of time when he likes to watch and hear the same show or song over and over again. Well now it is Jay Jay. Well he only gets to watch it at the sitter's as we do not get any station that carries it at home. So my husband saw the DVD and bought it. I was so excited.. We showed my son the DVD and he went straigt to the couch to take a front row seat to watch. We kept waiting for the song. He got really upset and would not watch the rest of the DVD. The New Mystery style DVD's are all I can find. If they would just include the theme song on the extras feature of the DVD I think that would be great. If not I will not buy another DVD
A nice updated Jay Jay 5 out of 5 stars.

My 3 year old has seen many Jay Jay movies, but this one is by far his favorite. It has some nice educational value, simple to understand for a young child. Also introduces Lina, a new character, which is my son's new favorite plane. Overall a great movie that I would highly recommend.

Disappointing to say the very least 1 out of 5 stars.
7 of 8 people found this review helpful.
My son and I anxiously awaited the release of a new Jay Jay the Jetplane DVD and I must say both of us were immensely disappointed. The format was different from former episodes and focused was primarily Jay Jay and the new plane, Lena. Brenda Blue was a huge focus as well, as most of the talking was done between Brenda and the planes. (Why they can't just let Brenda wear her hair down is beyond me, she's prettier than they're making her look - she looked strange in the backwards baseball cap.)
Tracy made an appearance for a few seconds, but that was it. It's apparent that they're trying to copy Dora the Explorer with the Spanish speaking character - but they went over the top with it. Lena is a cute character but should not have been focused on so heavily.
All in all, if you like the older Jay Jay episodes and were looking forward to some new ones - I think you'll be disappointed. I would rent this DVD first before spending the money to buy it.

You don't have to see things in order to believe in them? Jay Jay may not be a good choice for secular families. 1 out of 5 stars.

The Skylandia episode makes clear that there are underlying messages in Jay Jay supporting religious faith. The kinds of messages I found in this show would help open up any child to any manner of theological, mystical, new agey nonsense. If you would prefer your toddler learn critical thinking, then avoid this show. I had no idea there were religious overtones in this show until watching this episode, then searching for "Jay Jay Religious" on a search engine.
The Skylandia episode discusses a castle in the sky, and immediately when Jay Jay says "I don't believe in castles in the sky because I've never seen one", he is asked "Do you have to see something to believe in it?" I would actually hope I teach my children to say "why yes, I do!".
The final words of this episode were "And that's when Jay Jay learned not to close his mind on things he couldn't see, and if you believe in something in your heart, it's true." Why not just show your 2 year old an episode of the X-files and tell him Bigfoot and Alien Abductions are real, too?
This show is probably great for people raising their child to believe in their own faith, but as a secular parent and critical thinker I find this to be a poor message to send to impressional young toddlers. If my child believes in his heart that he will fly if he jumps off the roof, it's true? There are much better shows for kids this age that send a message to kids to think like Blues Clues.
Editorial Review:
Jay Jay may have wings and a rudder, but the crowd he hangs with isn't exactly jet set. Funny-faced flying buddies Tracy, Herky, and Snuffy never make it out of Tarrytown, let alone navigate their way through an episode without swerving into a tailspin. Life's Little Lessons lifts off with Herky faking wellness to get to the fair; from there, Tracy tries tackling sonic booms unsupervised, Herky spins his wheels in a tricky game of opposites, Snuffy gets his propeller out of joint over the impermanence of his snowman pal, and Tracy learns to shelf her impatience, a surefire plan for catching sight of a shooting star. A fleet gentler than Jay Jay's doesn't exist--forget about fastening your seatbelt for these low-flying adventures. In fact, if Lessons' lessons take hold the way its creators intended, preschoolers'll come away even more grounded than when they tuned in for takeoff. --Tammy La Gorce

Editorial Review:
One of the best television shows for the toddler crowd, Jay Jay the Jet Plane proves, just as Toy Story did, that computer animation is hardly daunting when characters and stories are thoroughly engaging. Adventures in Learning gathers five short episodes, each featuring Jay Jay, the diminutive delivery plane with a (more or less) human face. "A Trip to Skylandia" finds the airborne hero doubting the existence of a castle in the clouds (as drawn by best friend Tuffy), until he's swept into Tuffy's imaginative vision. "Jay Jay's Butterfly Adventure" concerns loving efforts to find a winter home for a winged pal, and "Tuffy's Trip to Pangabula" features an exciting race to transport a tow truck across an ocean. While visually splendid, these tales are finally about the spirit of adventure, the virtue of persistence, and open minds. --Tom Keogh

Editorial Review:
Jay Jay and his buddies are the American aerial equivalent of England's Thomas the Tank Engine and cohorts: they have jobs to do, experience adventures along the way, and always learn valuable lessons in cooperation. The American sensibility is most apparent in Brenda Blue, Tarrytown Airport's mechanic/manager. Her role as a parent figure is more overt than Sir Topham Hat's of the British Thomas program, and she has "Think About Moments" in which she explains concepts like gravity and weather. Another difference is the kiddie voices belonging to the planes, helicopter, and tow truck. This compilation of the PBS series offers five 11-minute segments, featuring stories in which Oscar the biplane attempts to re-create a triumph from his stunt-plane days, the team prepares for Brenda's mom's arrival on Mother's Day, and the little propeller plane Snuffy tries to decide what birthday gift would be most useful. Ages 2 to 6. --Kimberly Heinrichs

"Plane" sailing for kids 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.
This DVD contains five adventures of Jay Jay the Jet Plane and his CGI friends Tracy (another small jet), Snuffy (a propeller monoplane), Herky (the helicopter), Big Jake (a cargo carrier), Savannah (a supersonic airliner), Oscar (an old bi-plane), Tuffy (a towtruck) and Revvin' Evan (a fire engine). Real actors play the roles of Brenda Blue, the woman in charge of the airport, Miss Lee, the librarian who is hearing impaired, and a few other supporting roles.
In "Trip to Skylandia", Jay Jay gets caught up in a mini-tornado and discovers a castle in the clouds. The message here is that you can believe in things you can't see, if you feel it in your heart.
"Jay Jay's Butterfly Adventure" is about Jay Jay and his friend Breezy the Monarch butterfly. Jay Jay learns that Nature really does take care of her own.
"Jay Jay and the Magic Books" introduces American sign language, as Tracy assists Miss Lee in convincing Jay Jay that books can be great adventure.
"Tuffy's Trip to Pangabula" tells of Tuffy the tow truck's trip to Pangabula Island, and the difficulties she encounters on the way. The moral is "Where there's a will, there's a way"
"Tuffy's Adventures in Pangabula" continues where the previous story left off, with Tuffy saving a wonderful tree from danger.
While one viewing is more than enough for the average adult, kids seem to love this one for some reason, and my son has watched it five times for today alone - so far. An adult rating would probably be around three stars, but for the intended audience - a clear five.
