If only every children's video could be this witty and charming. It helps, of course, that the colorful scenes look as if they were lifted from the pages of the classic book Madeline and the Bad Hat and that the book's clever rhymes come to life via narrator Christopher Plummer's smooth, rich voice. In this story, Pepito, mischievous son of the Spanish ambassador, is the "bad hat" who moves next door to Madeline and company's boarding house. He makes nothing but trouble for the girls, but eventually learns his lesson. Several engaging musical numbers move along the plot, with lyrics that fit right in. "I'm Madeline, I'm Madeline," sings the heroine, "And though I'm very small ... inside, I'm tall." The same can be said for this video, which belongs in every child's library. --Valerie J. Nelson

Have you learned your lesson, you naughty, naughty boy? December 17, 2001
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
"Have you learned your lesson, you naughty, naughty boy?" is my daughter's favorite Madeline song, because she understands that Pepito, the Spanish ambassador's son, hasn't been very nice to the animals in the neighborhood. Likely the best adaptation of the original Bemelmans book in this (Cinar) series of videos, "Madeline and the Bad Hat" tells the story of a lonely little boy who tries to get attention by being cruel and mischievous. He learns his lesson when one of his pranks go awry, and then realizes that being nice makes better friends than by being naughty. Highly recommended.
superb story, hooked my 2-year old June 28, 2001
The Spanish Ambassador moves in next door to Madeline.Madeline and the girls are surprised to see that, as Miss Clavel says, "his excellency has as BOY!" Well, his excellency's son, Pepito, does a lot of marvelous things: leads frogs around on strings, dumps poison on ants, and pops the balloons of little girls. He even carries a cat around in a bag, and lets it out amidst a pack of dogs! As Madeline says, Pepito is a BAD HAT. This hilarious story is about how Pepito comes to be reformed. It's got a lot of funny scenes, and there are many levels on which the story can be enjoyed. The video has marvelous, enjoyable songs, also! My two year old son asked to see this video over and over, and I finally bought a copy.
This is a little gem, the best of the Madeline series July 4, 1999

This is the best story from the animated Madeline series produced by Cinar Films and their subsidiary, Crayon animation. It might seem heresy to say this, but I think in this case the video is better than the original story by Bemelmans. There is action, humor, unexpected twists and simple but well done animation. I have watched it over and over again, and never tire of it. Children will love it and parents will find interest in it too, for there are several levels of interpretation in it.
