The Backyardigans - Into the Deep (2004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We just got our copy of Into the Deep today from Amazon.com, and it's wonderful as always!
My son is watching it right now, and I LOVE the Bollywood style music of Into the Deep, which serves as a background for the mermaids Tasha and Uniqua! (I can't help but sway as I write this!)
Here are the episodes found on this DVD:
INTO THE DEEP - In this underwater Bollywood musical, Deep-Sea Explorers Tyrone and Pablo attempt to capture the garden-guarding Mermaids Uniqua and Tasha--on film, that is!
NEWS FLASH - Proud, Motown-singing Farmers Pablo and Tyrone inadvertently set up an out-of-this-world encounter in their cornfield to get their prized corn crop on the news.
SAVE THE DAY - Groove to psychedelic soul as Harbor Patrollers Uniqua, Pablo, and Tyrone repeatedly save determined Fisher-lady Tasha, who insists upon fishing in dangerous waters!
CATCH THAT BUTTERFLY - It's a Wild West chase set to comic opera when Professor Pablo hires tough Stagecoach Drivers Tyrone and Uniqua to help him catch the rare Gilded Butterfly.
Unfortunately, it seems that Austin, the purple kangaroo, is absent from all the episodes on this DVD... (Oops! I stand corrected. My son just told me that Austin appears in Newsflash.)
The Special Features are minimal: a Dora Saves the Mermaids sneak peek (it will be released in September of 2007) and a Can't Stop the Cops video.
This DVD has a runtime of 99 minutes--and is yet another fine addition to the Backyardigans DVDs!

The Backyardigans - It's Great To Be A Ghost (2004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Don't let this brightly colored CGI cartoon fool you into thinking it's only for kids. This is one you can watch for the umpteenth time without rolling your eyes way up in your head, and is one of the most entertaining shows to come out recently.
Each adventure takes place in the imagination of five young friends who turn their shared backyard into different fantasy worlds, each episode full of song and dance numbers of various music genres. Imagine hearing your kids singing `20s Jazz tunes while cartoon characters tap dance across the screen, and you'll pretty much get the idea.
This DVD has four episodes:
1.It's Great to Be a Ghost: This is the `20s Jazz episode, where Pablo (the blue penguin), Tyrone (the brown moose) and Uniqua (the pink spotted female of indeterminate species) pretend to be ghosts haunting an old house, and do their best to scare Tasha (the yellow hippo) an "unsuspecting stranger" who drops by the house.
2.Monster Detectives: This one has an early rock n' roll theme, and features Tyrone as a detective and Uniqua, who has lost her soccer ball, as they go to the castle of Pablo the Soccer Monster to get it back.
3.The Key to the Nile is another musical adventure, where Queen CleoTasha and her attendants Pablo, Tyrone and Austin (the purple kangaroo) seek three treasures of the Nile to present to the sphinx Uniqua.
4.Pirate Treasure is my favorite, set to a reggae beat, as the friends learn to work together to uncover buried treasure. Arrrr!
Janice Burgess has created a truly enjoyable, educational and fun series for all ages.Amanda Richards, December 27, 2005

It's Great to Be a Ghost - PABLO, TYRONE, and UNIQUA are ghosts, and they've found the perfect old house to haunt. To the sound of Cab Calloway-style 20's jazz, they practice floating, booing, and other scary stuff. When an unsuspecting stranger (TASHA) shows up, they put their scaring skills to the test.
Monster Detective - PABLO is a noisy but lonely Soccer-Ball-Monster who hordes soccer balls in his castle's gym. TYRONE is a no-nonsense, Dragnet-style Detective. He and his client, UNIQUA, must brave the Monster's Castle and rescue UNIQUA'S kidnapped soccer ball. 60's Rock underscores this action- packed investigation. Will they get the job done without being turned into Monsters themselves? Bonus episodes/ Added Value-2nd Menu Page Below are episode descriptions of the two bonus episodes on this release: (approx 50:00 minutes) - DVD ONLY
The Key to the Nile - TASHA is Princess of Egypt, and TYRONE, PABLO, and AUSTIN are her servants. Only the princess can end Egypt's horrible drought, by bringing three precious gifts to the sphinx, UNIQUA. Will the princess finally unlock the Nile waters? Broadway-style musical numbers ring through the desert in this Egyptian adventure.
Pirate Treasure - X marks the spot on this reggae-style pirate adventure. In two pirate teams, the kids sail the high seas in search of treasure. Who will find it first? And who will walk the plank?
