My 8, 10 and 12 yr old kids love this DVD. It had both 3D and non-3D versions. I personally don't think the 3D technology has improved the TV appearance from 20 yrs ago. My kids get headaches watching the 3D version on TV, but are just as excited watching it with it off. If your kids have any affection for Hannah Montana they will love this. As much as I hate to promote the commercialism of Hannah Montana, the reality is there are many negative influences out there in the entertainment world and Hannah is good, clean entertainment. The dance beat behind the songs really generate excitement with the kids.

Best of Both Worlds Concert: The 3-D Movie: Extended Edition The songs, sound and picture quality is great but why must there be commentary here and there when it should be on the special feature. We bought the dvd to hear and see over and over again but this spoilt the viewing pleasure. This is the same story as the Elvis 25th anniversary live in Memphis dvd. Everytime when there's commentary I will have to fast forward the disc.

Never watched this movie at the theater so I don't know what the differences are, but I loved the DVD version from start to finish.

Imagine pre-teen Beatles' fans shrieking at a concert making a sound that one parent concert goer described as "Getting behind a jet."

And is all the fuss worth it?

I'd like to say a hearty, 'Yes'. Hannah Montana has such natural exuberance and charm to go with her positive power pop voice, she's an all-around entertainer. Sporting the moves of a cheerleader, her happy-go-lucky spirit is energetic, but never seems forced.

Backed up by synchronized dancers, kaleidoscopic colors and costumes, and a spunky back up band, and you have a venue that draws on Broadway, but touches the ground again when it needs to be a rock concert.

Surely she's inherited talent from dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, who offers, "She writes what she lives...It's real." Miley's own explanation of songwriting taps into what all geniuses draw from, lyrics that mean one story to the writer, but is laid down with a broad enough brush to touch millions of lives in each of their stories.

'Hannah Montana: Best of Both Worlds' is an infectious G-rated venue. It's simple in many ways and not all flashy, yet the camera goes exactly where it should. Director Bruce Hendrick and editor Michael Tronick are steady enough to take us in all the right directions. We see choreographed rehearsals, one on-stage flub gets corrected, and a perfect series of preconcert fan outtakes of kiddie enthusiasm and even a hilarious (if not dangerous) race for fathers to win tickets for their families.

With music that is propulsive like the Go-Gos and an entertainer with such a good disposition, how can anyone resist? (If you doubt Hannah Montana's (Miley Cyrus's) draw, then you've missed out on the biggest merchandise extravaganza for pre-teen kids in memory.)
