Under the Umbrella Tree: Volume 3: When I have a good DVD series, I just can't stop watching it. This is no more true than in one of my childhood favorites, Under the Umbrella Tree.Most of the episodes I remembered quite well and several I was quite anticipating such as "To the Dentist," "Jacob's Girlfriends" and especially "Going Bananas."
The presentation of these discs is quite nice. I really love how they bring out the puppets to introduce the episodes. I am also glad to learn that the child narrator was not original and we can actually hear the theme song. Also we get to see the original slightly different opening on Bananas as that was made earlier in the series.
As anything else I say will just be a repeat of the last two, I will merely say that this is a show which I will buy any and all future releases of. Here's hoping we can get more soon.
In closing, I feel it best to sing a song.
It's National Banana Day! We'll peel our frowns away! It's time to shout, "Hooray!" "For National Banana Day!
