At first I didn't think Ninjago was something I wanted for my grandsons - more cartoon violence hyping a product to kids. But the boys wanted Ninjago, so I bought the first season and watched it beforehand. I found it to be immensely clever, entertaining, and I applauded the little social lessons sprinkled thru the actions. This latest in the series keeps up the tradition. Pros: engages the kids, has some worthwhile content, excellent animation. Cons: fighting and some violence, but more justified than gratuitous. Still, you can never be sure if kids are telling the difference. I like to sit with them and watch (sometimes for the 4th & 5th times) so I can try to catch problematic messages and re-interpret out loud.

I guess shame on me for not realizing it was only 7 episodes but shame on Amazon for decreasing the price a day after it was released. I pre-ordered this item in November for a 11 Dec release and today 12 Dec the price is already $2.50 less than what I paid for the pre-order. I'm sure my son will love this but I know he is going to be disappointed it is not the whole season. Read more
My 9 year old enjoys this series. He missed some episodes and rather than track them down on TV this was an easier way for him to catch up. Read more
only thing that i have to say is this is not the full season2 dvd disk this is like a part 1 of season 2. however, as a parent, when you start the dvd, you don't have to go through annoying preview or other stuff you put the disk, menu will load and hit the play button. it's perfect for busy parents!!

The Ninjago series is great for kids who are infatuated with ninjas but are too young for the violence found in martial art movies. It satisfies their ninja needs. It also has a great message- the search for an inner purpose or their "FULL POTENTIAL". Read more
