"...the DVD offers interesting mini-documentaries that will inspire, inform, encourage curiosity and prove that anything's possible."

"Dynamite. Velcro. Cellophane. The Post-it Note. Who came up with these wacky ideas? Accidental Inventions explores the origins of some of the most common and useful items in our world, all created in unlikely and unexpected ways. Cellophane was actually a failed tablecloth, for example. The microwave often was discovered when a Hershey bar in a scientist's pocket kept melting. Using historical photos, 3-D graphics, maps, clips and interviews with experts, the DVD offers interesting mini-documentaries that will inspire, inform, encourage curiosity and prove that anything's possible - even when you least expect it." --Parents' Choice Awards
