ANYONE IN IT WE KNOW?

Kellie, Kathleen, Tim, Nathan, Charli

WHAT’S IT ABOUT THEN?

The pre-teen sensations go through their favourite routines and then teach you the moves so that you can dance along with them.

SO IS IT ANY GOOD?

Anyone with a pre-schooler can surely appreciate the greatness of Hi-5, pop in a Hi-5 disc and see the hypnotism take hold, this is a slightly different Hi-5 release though, probably aimed at 5 and Up (although of course the younger ones will still find much to enjoy in it) dealing as it does with learning dance routines.

The songs and routines go from some of their earliest shows to date and it is interesting in seeing how the gang have developed and become more polished and dare we say it some of the songs are surprisingly catchy - yes you will find yourselves singing some of these songs at odd points during the day.

The menu is very kid friendly, indeed Kellie's puppet friend Chats is on hand to guide you through every stage of the menu and the disc itself is broken up into five segments, the first Choose A Song allows you to access any song on the disc, Play All The Songs allows you to do just that, Have A Dance Lesson features the guys teaching the exact steps to follow the routines (although it is more like Hi-4 here as Charli is noticibly absent from much of the new linking material), Sing and Dance is actually pretty much a repeat of Have A Dance Lesson whilst Lets Sing Karaoke puts the words on the screen Karaoke style for you to sing along to and you do get the option to turn the vocals off too!

This is definitely an entertaining release guaranteed to please their fans. There's been talk in the media recently of Hi-5 being of more interest to the dads than to their kids but Hi-5 is innocent fun and we need to keep it that way, believe me there is nothing more gorgeous than seeing your two year old trying to copy the Hi-5 dance moves.

ANY SPECIAL FEATURES?

Not a straightforward release as such the segmented nature of the release means the whole disc is one big extra.
