Who doesn't want to know how things work? This child-friendly short film delivers information in a way that school aged kids can absorb it and includes a group of kids that age who participate in the Q&A's during the presentation, making it easy to relate to.
I like the way the show is formatted. There are two episodes presented here in this 16-minute clip, each running about 8 minutes. It's short, sweet, and to the point. In the first episode we learn how a VCR works. I questioned why that the focal point since VCRs are pretty much antiques in today's media landscape, but nonetheless, that's the starting point. The other episode is about the White House and what happens in the different floors and wings of this all important building. Did I learn some new things? Yup, I definitely did, in both segments. I probably wouldn't start with the VCR segment since most kids have no idea what a VCR is. They have moved on to DVDs and digital programming. But hey, I'm not the producer here and I love learning information, even if it's somewhat antiquated.
The film's message is all about learning how different things work.
I give What in the World? 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5-12 plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!

WHAT IN THE WORLD? is a family-friendly children's docu-series exploring science and engineering feats both inside (and out) of objects! Utilizing excerpts from popular "Jared Owen Animations" YouTube videos, each episode dives deep into one particular item, place or thing that kids will love learning about - some larger than life, and some even out of this world!
