Just when you thought things were quiet on the Hit Entertainment and Lionsgate Production front, they're bursting into summer with three exciting releases.
Get set to sing with Angelina Ballerina, Race with Roary the Race Car and Dig with Bob the Builder!


The Buzz:

In Angelina Ballerina: Pop Star Girls get ready to get your groove on because it's showtime with Angelina and the Pop Star Girls. While all the dancers learn to work together, Angelina realizes she loves Hip Hop, rock bands, fiddles and more! Move and groove along with Angelina as she directs a Hip Hop musical and discovers she was born to be a star. The whole family will be star-struck with delight as Angelina steps it up in her best performance yet.

In Roary the Racing Car, start your engines for fun and excitement with Roary The Racing Car and his racetrack buddies, Tin Top, Zizzy, Dragga, and mischievous Maxi, as they zoom into exciting high-speed adventures. The racetrack becomes a pit stop of great times as everyone goes the extra mile for Marsha’s birthday party, Big Chris becomes a babysitter, and Rusty is on a roll…without wheels! Put your pedal to the metal and buckle up for big-time fun from start to finish !


Roary is a racing favorite on the Sprout channel, so to get to see him at leisure on your very own DVD is.....speed-eriffic! This 55 minute DVD features 6 quick episodes that will teach your preschooler the importance of helping others, doing what's right, staying safe, having good friends, being level headed, being responsible and solving problems. Our favorite episodes were Stars and Cars and Big Chris Forgets.


Another summer treat to look forward to is the Bob the Builder: The Big Dino Dig movie. Grab your shovels and join the fun as Bob the Builder and his terrific team dig up ancient surprises in this all-new movie. A new truck named Rubble joins the Can-Do Crew to help build an enormous amusement park, but when things get difficult with seagulls and impossible lumps, it’s up to the team to work together to finish the job, unearthing some prehistoric dinosaur bones along the way. Hold on to your hard hat for a roller coaster ride of thrills, discovery and fun!


Dinosaur bones, Bob and the "Can Do" team will entertain your little builder with this 61 minute movie packed with problem solving enthusiasm, teamwork and determination.

And if you plan to take your little one to LEGOLAND over the summer, don't forget to save the "Free Child Ticket to any LEGOLAND" coupon on the face of the DVD. Great offer....entertainment and savings rolled into one!

Barney, Angelina, Fifi and Shaun the Sheep are Baaaa-ck!
A brand new set of Hit Entertainment and Lionsgate Production DVD releases are out. You can look forward to more good, clean, preschool entertainment and learning fun.

The Buzz:

The big release kicking off the month was the super-dee-duper 4 DVD collection, the Friend 4 Pack.


This February 1, 2011 release features 4 sweet, girly-girl DVDs, all centering around the theme of "Friendship". The collection includes

• Barney: Let's Play School (Viewing Duration-50 mins)

• Angelina Ballerina: Love to Dance (Viewing Duration-62 mins)-Read my earlier review of this DVD
  
• Fifi and the Flowertots: Fifi's Talent Show (Viewing Duration-50 mins)- The first ever full length, CG animated, Fifi DVD!
  

and bonus features in each disc.

Each of the DVDs have their own share of musical numbers but biased as we are, the Barney mix definitely rules!


Barney: Shapes and Colors All Around is perfect for your 1-3 year olds.
Barney, BJ and Baby Bop introduce the young viewer to different colors and shapes in word, rhyme, song and dance.

This February 8, 2011 release includes two bonus features and has an approximate run time of 50 minutes.

And finally leap into Spring with our favorite baaaaaackyard pal- Shaun the Sheep in Spring Shena-a-anigans

* “Spring Lamb”
* “Supersize Timmy”
* “Bagpipe Buddy”

If you think you won't have a good laugh watching a flock of sheep chasing a bouncing baby Timmy or find mistaken discarded bagpipes to be an ailing emu (this is hilarious), then think again! This 50 minute DVD has light, fun entertainment for all ages to watch.

CLOSED: Stocking Stuffer DVDs for Preschoolers (+Christmas Carnival Giveaway #3)- 4 winners

This post is a 'Christmas Carnival' feature...The Carnival of Giveaways (or should I say Christmas prezzies?) on Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports from November 1- December 5 2010.

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

I love giving children DVD prezzies that are entertaining, musical and educational...all rolled into one.
The below featured Hit Entertainment and Lionsgate production releases will make great stocking stuffers.
(The Barney 6 DVD pack, though, would be more of a Christmas prezzie unless you share the DVDs among 3 stockings or maybe even 6!)


Waltz into a land of sugar and spice with Angelina Ballerina in fresh new CG animation with Angelina Ballerina: The Nutcracker Sweet! Angelina is excited to perform the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy in the holiday showcase, but her sweet tooth may lead her to trouble. When too many candy canes and Mom’s fabulous fruitcake give her a tummy ache, Angelina learns that sharing with friends is a lot more rewarding.

Bunny girl loves Angelina and she hasn't watched this one yet (Yes stocking stuffer!) but I do know this 61 minute, 5 episode DVD will have her don her tutu and pretend dance shoes in no time. Not only is this a nice festive entertainer but it's also a great way to encourage young viewers that it's important not to over-gorge on the Christmas goodies!


Next stop, Winter Wonderland! Join Thomas and his friends in Merry Winter Wish as they celebrate the holidays in four exciting episodes. Thomas has a special delivery for the season - the Star of Knapford, a festive light that makes wishes come true! The children are excited for the Snowman Party in the Town Square but it’s up to Thomas to find the snowman a special hat before the party can begin. Watch Bash, Dash and Ferdinand prepare for the first ever Misty Island Christmas party. Then Henry helps Sir Topham Hatt prepare a secret holiday surprise for all of Sodor.

Thomas fans will be excited to see Thomas and his buddies again. Personally I think my favorite so far has been Misty Island Rescue but this is a nice DVD to pop into the player for short intervals and yes, your little ones will learn the importance of working as a team and helping out.



‘Tis the season for holiday cheer in Jolly Holiday! Ride through a winter wonderland with Thomas on a special Christmas tree delivery. Join Bob the Builder and his Can-Do Crew as they build a sleigh of their own to make it to the school Christmas Carol Concert in time. See Fireman Sam and his friends get into the holiday spirit with the most exciting Christmas lights display. Finally, enjoy the snow fall with Barney as he teaches Baby Bop that winter is a wonderful time for fun even when it’s cold outside.

This is a fun filled Christmas DVD for preschoolers featuring the favorites-Thomas & his friends, Bob the Builder, Fireman Sam, Barney & the gang and a bonus feature with the darling little mouseling Angelina Ballerina.


Finally, the crowning pack...


In Barney's Learning Pack 6 DVD Set, celebrate the gift of learning with Barney. This jam-packed 6 DVD compilation contains educational episodes focusing on colors, counting, nursery rhymes and learning the alphabet. The Set includes these DVDs:
* It’s Time for Counting
* Numbers! Numbers!
* Now I Know My ABCs
* Rhyme Time Rhythm
* Let’s Play School!
* Red, Yellow & Blue

A compilation of 269 minutes of learning and fun with Barney and his buddies....what could be better? This is the perfect pack especially for 2-4 year olds and a great way to introduce soon to be preschoolers to a few elementary lessons they'd be taught in school. I love the way each episode comes to life with a great collection of songs. I can vouch for the fact that Bunny girl has an extensive knowledge of many popular kids songs thanks to Barney.
Each DVD in this collection gets my 'Mommy Thumbs Up'. Way to go Barney!

CLOSED: Angelina Loves to Dance and Thomas' Misty Island Rescue (+ Dvd Giveaways)

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

She's back!...Twirling and pirouetting in a pretty pink tutu while wearing a prominent pink bow on her head is Angelina in her very first CG animated dvd- Angelina Ballerina: Love to Dance.

Now Bunny girl has found a new love for all things ballet, so when it was time to watch the dvd, she decided to don her pink tutu and wear the Angelina Mouse Ears hairband she was sent. Once she was 'appropriately' dressed she settled down to watch the 8 year old mouseling


The dvd features varying dance styles, new friends, music and more in these five episodes:

• Angelina's new school
• Angelina's dance partner
• Angelina's oldest friend
• Angelina's sleepover and
  
• Angelina and the Hip-Hop kid.
  

I've always enjoyed watching Angelina especially as her little stories have a 'take home' moral for my little ballerina. This dvd is no exception. Different little life lessons we picked up from the same include the importance of accepting another person's differences, adapting to new situations, making the right decisions and being a good friend.

This August 31 2010 release from Hit Entertainment and Lionsgate production has an approximate run time of 62 minutes and also includes 3 bonus features-2 Angelina Music Videos and 1 Interactive Game.


Another dvd (+ blu-ray combo pack) that is featured on practically every kids channel I switch to is the latest Thomas & Friends: Misty Island Rescue


This CG animated action packed adventure begins with Thomas and his friends helping build the Search and Rescue Center. All seems to go well till a fellow engine needs help and Thomas steps in. What follows is a special reward that results in Thomas getting lost and landing up in Misty Island. While there, Thomas finds new friends- Bash, Dash and Ferdinand who eventually help him return to Sodor.

This is defintiely another 'Thomas' visual treat for both big and little engine lovers.

This September 7 2010 release from Hit Entertainment and Lionsgate production has an approximate run time of 58 minutes and also includes 3 bonus features-The Search for Thomas' Game and 2 Thomas Karaoke Music Videos


(Thanks to Andrea Blain Public Relations we received these dvds to preview.)
