Product Description:
Movie DVD

Like Schoolhouse Rock, Marlo Thomas's 1970s children's TV show, Free to Be… You and Me met with immediate success and became a treasured piece of entertainment over the years. Based on her award-winning album of songs, skits, and comedy, Free to Be explores the infinite possibilities of childhood. Fans know most of the skits in the 45-minute show verbatim, and it's easy to see why right from the beginning with an infectious title track followed by a puppet sketch featuring Thomas and Mel Brooks as newborns. Top talent appears on both sides of the camera, including Alan Alda who directs and performs a cartoon about a boy who wants a doll. However, the presentation does show its age at times: a teenage Michael Jackson singing (with Roberta Flack) on how he's not going to change when he grows up. For all ages. --Doug Thomas

I am glad that this program was converted to DVD. My 5 year old loves it and I remember it growing up. We need more programs like this around. My son also loves the fact that a young Michael Jackson was in the program as well.

Still love the songs, but boy, the film quality is just terrible. No idea if it was like this originally, but compared to any other DVD or TV we have (including some old sesame streets), this picture is nigh on unwatchable. You've been warned!

I had this album when I was a kid and loved it. I still remember and hum the tunes 35 years later. I am now buying it for our grand kids. What a wondeeful way to build your child's self esteem and to show them that it is ok to just be you whoever that may be!
And the biggest bonus is the cast of characters and the fabulous actors who play them!!!

This DVD holds up well, although it amazing how far we have come since it was first in TV! No one cares if a boy has a doll anymore (I hope!). My daughter loves this DVD, especially the Mel Brooks/Marlo Thomas baby part!

It is just as I remembered it. My 3 and 4 year olds loved it! The messages are wonderful and the songs are engaging. It could stand a little digital remastering, though ~ it's pretty old-school video.
