The Backyardigans: Singing Sensation Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"The Backyardigans: Singing Sensation!" may appeal to some fans who like the show's music, but in the way of Nickelodeon DVD releases, it is nothing special. All this is, really, is a collection of approximately 20 songs from the series put together on a DVD with lyrics displayed on-screen (there is no way to turn these lyrics off.) There are some good songs on this collection, such as "A Pirate Says ARRRR," "Not An Egg Anymore" and "Go, Go, Go." However, given the vast amount of material this series has produced, there is a very good chance that your or kid's favorite song or songs might not be included on this DVD (personally, I think that songs such as the "Flying Rock Song," "Nobody's Bigger Than a Giant" and "W-IOWA" all would have been worthy of inclusion.) The songs are roughly divided into themes - such as sea songs and outer space songs.Here is a list of the songs included-- "A Pirate Says ARRR," "Save the Day," "Sinbad the Sailor," "Ya Gotta Have Pirattitude," "Viking Song," "A Message, A Message," "On Top of the World," "We're Knights, That's Right!," "Not An Egg Anymore," "Everything is Filthy in Filthingham," "Ready for Anything," "Bad Bots," "Can't Stop the Cops," "Intergalactic Garbage Trek," "Front Page News," "Going to Mars," "Riding the Range," "Go, Go, Go," "The Yeti Stomp," "International Super Sky," and "The Lady in Pink."Nice try, Nickelodeon, but this feels like a cheaply produced effort designed to try to lure "Backyardigans" fans. I rate it three to three-and-a-half stars for the quality of the source material only.Closed-Captioning / Subtitles: None (There is no captioning or subtitles for the parts where the characters speak, only the on-screen lyrics.)
Special Features: None, other than promos for other Nickelodeon (formerly branded Nick Jr.) shows and, curiously, for PBSKids's "Super WHY!"
Length: Approximately 36 Minutes
Cost: Too much (but I checked it from the library, so no worries.)

The Backyardigans - The Snow Fort (2004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This DVD contains four more wonderful adventures of Pablo (the blue penguin), Tyrone (the brown moose), Uniqua (the pink spotted female of indeterminate species), Tasha (the yellow hippo, and Austin (the purple kangaroo)
Each adventure takes place in the imaginations of the five friends who turn their shared backyard into different fantasy worlds, each episode full of song and dance numbers of various music genres.
This DVD has four episodes:
1. The Snow Fort: Pablo and Tyrone are brave and fearless Mounties, defending their snow fort and the treasure within. Tasha and Uniqua are Ski Patrollers with a thermos full of hot chocolate, just looking for someone to rescue. Mounties on duty! Ski Patrol to the rescue! An action packed adventure set to a Country music theme.
2. The Yeti: Four funky songs and a catchy cry of "Yeti yeti yeti yeti!" as the friends hunt the elusive hairy, smelly, raisin-eating Yeti.
3. Knights Are Brave and Strong: Uniqua the Pink battles the Moose of the Mist and the Guardian of the Gate to deliver an important message from Queen Tasha to King Austin. Big band swing and four new songs.
4. Secret Mission: Saving the best for last, secret agents Pablo, Tyrone and Uniqua negotiate the booby traps in a treasure museum to the beat of the tango and limbo.
Four more examples of why the Backyardigans belong in any kid's collection. Amanda Richards, January 15, 2006

Backyardigans: Escape From the Tower Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My children love the Backyardigans. They get limited TV each day, and they always pick Backyardigans when it's time to watch something. It's a terrific show for preschoolers - singing, dancing, adventures, friends. We have most of their DVDs, and just about all are wonderful start to finish.
When I saw this new DVD, I knew my kids would be thrilled. None of these episodes have aired on TV (at least that we've seen) and they're all pretty good. My son loves the Los Galacticos, as it features a space ship with aliens (Uniqua and Austin) trying to put green goo on everything in sight. Also included is the Sock Factory and Escape the Tower.
The downfall for this DVD is that it features only three episodes, and none of them are double-length. For the fourth episode, the makers put a Freshbeat Band episode on. Thumbs down!! Had this been marketed for less than the other DVDs, I would have felt far less cheated. Since all of their other DVDs have had four episodes (or 3 with one being double-length) this one seems like it's been thrown together and packaged with filler. Did they not want to wait for a fourth episode before going to production?? Are they using this to push the Freshbeat Band?
Bottom line, these are cute episodes. Not quite as good as Super Secret Super Spy or Mighty Knights, but cute and typical for Backyardigans. Worth the full price since there's a half hour of advertising? Debatable.
