Teaches: music appreciation

CTR Review

Young Disney fans can get into the HitClips act with this plastic 6" by 5" mini jukebox. It has a slot for one music chip, and comes with the song "Hakuna Matata" from the Lion King. The playing time seems quite generous (one minute, five seconds), and other Disney music cartridges are available. These are larger than the HitClip size, making them incompatible with all of the other HitClip options, but easier to handle by small hands. Additional cartridges are sold in groups of three for $14.99. Like the HitClips, the music quality is tinny but clear, although the kids don't mind. Testers enjoyed the portability of the toy, but parents feel that the price is a bit on the high side.
