Mandarin. I have it... it's all mandarin... I thought it would be fun to look up the amazon review.. it seems that the accent is from Beijing... that that was interesting.

From the most helpful Amazon review

The content is minimal, which I like, but I agree with other reviewers about three points:

1) This is not pure Mandarin, but is a Northern/Beijing accent. A spoon is a SHOU ZI, not a SHARRRRR, etc.
2) I would like to see a real person's mouth move rather than a cartoon panda, although I understand why they do it with a cartoon for reusability across languages.
3) The sound quality was such that sometimes it was hard to hear which consonant was being spoken. For this reason I really really wish that in addition to the English subtitles and the Chinese characters on the screen, that they showed the pinyin Romanization of the word on the screen. That would have been sooo helpful.

@locavore_mama: Yeah I got it for a good price on babysteals I think... we watched it once, it came with a toy panda... only thing that's being used now is the toy. I'm cantonese so I thought it would be fun to learn mandarin with baby but got bored of it pretty fast. Maybe I'll try again. *Makes note to find the DVD*
