Blake is my Backyardigan fan! He watches it every night after bath on Nick Jr. and we all get a kick out of watching him sing and dance along with Pablo and Tyrone. Nickelodeon has just released The Backyardigans: Operation Elephant Drop on DVD.
For those of you who are new to Nick Jr., here is what The Backyardigans are all about: In every episode of The Backyardigans, five high-spirited neighbors meet in their adjoining backyards and use their imaginations to transform themselves into different locations for epic adventures. Each half-hour episode of this Emmy Award-winning show features a unique music/dance genre with four original songs, along with real choreographed movements recreated in animation.
The Backyardigans: Operation Elephant Drop contains the following 4 new to DVD episodes:
Elephant on the Run: Park Ranger Tasha has a very important job for delivery agents Tyrone and Pablo — to get an endangered Indian elephant safely to the Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary and to avoid the bad guys. Music Genre: Alternative Rock
The Magic Skateboard- Tyrone really wants to be a great skateboarder. He may not know all the tricks yet, but he’s going to compete in the Show-Off Showdown. Once he finds the magic skateboard, even his top competition takes notice. Music Genre: Forró
The Flipper!-Uniqua, Tasha and Pablo are the Meteor Watch Squad. But when meteor obsessed Pablo accidentally spills toxic space stuff all over himself, he becomes the super strong, super excitable Flipper! Music Genre: Bo Diddley-Style Rock
Super Team Awesome!- Tyrone is a tour guide for the world’s only lava geyser, Old Gushie. When a loose boulder in the cavern threatens to cause a geothermal disaster, Tyrone calls for help. Not one, but three superheroes come to save the day! Music Genre: American Country Rock
Nickelodeon was nice enough to send my family a copy of The Backyardigans: Operation Elephant Drop to review. This was the perfect thing to have last week when Blake was sick, since we were stuck home for 5 days. Blake was more than happy to sit in my lap and watch his new DVD. His favorite episode was Elephant on the Run, mostly because he thinks elephants are super cool. I like how all the episodes feature a different genre of music, which exposes him to all different types of music and keeps him from getting bored with the series.
The Backyardigans: Operation Elephant Drop is available now on DVD and has a running time of 95 minutes. This DVD can be purchased from Amazon.com and retails for $16.99. This new release is sure to please The Backyardigan fan in your house!
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS REVIEW IS MY OPINION. THANK YOU TO NICKELODEON AND PARAMOUNT HOME ENTERTAINMENT FOR SUPPLYING THIS PRODUCT FOR REVIEW.
