Steve, good guess. Unfortunately this is not what this video is. I ordered a
copy and it is a Duplo themed video. It consists of 3 short programs...

Duplo themed short story about a town that lacks imagination and a small
child that helps solve a problem.

Forest Friends short story about collecting food for winter.

A word for each letter of the alphabet presented using Duplo items.

Each short story is followed by a few illustrated sequences of word
opposites (big/small, tall/short, in/out, over/under).

I think this was pitched for showing at preschools, etc. The production
values were rather low, I felt. My kids are way too old for this and did not
enjoy it at all, they got rather abusive in their comments, actually.

Unless you have preschoolers I recommend against getting this video.

The Billund video, on the other hand, were it available, is a real treat...
