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)
• Barney : Everyone's Special (Viewing Duration-45 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”
* “Cheetah Cheater”
* “Lock Out”

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.

Barney Live In Concert - Birthday Bash!

Barney has a very special place in our hearts especially since he was the first character Bunny girl was introduced to as a baby. Bunny girl has grown up with Barney songs and we can sing all our favorite Barney songs at the drop of a hat.
Hence when we heard our favorite purple dinosaur was coming to town and that he was celebrating his birthday, we just knew we had to be a part of the big celebrations!


Yes we even took our Barney and Baby Bop plush toys along!

Barney Live In Concert - Birthday Bash! is a foot tapping, finger snapping, "get out of your seat and dance" interactive show featuring the lovable Barney, rockstar BJ, his little sister Baby Bop, Riff and 4 new 'human' friends.
(Unlike the DVDs, the 4 friends are grown ups and believe me when I say that it seems like they had springs attached to their shoes. Wow those 4 can dance....and effortlessly that too! )



With a little imagination.... and your loudest singing voice, you will be smack in the middle of the most upbeat birthday party you've ever been to.

We were thrilled to sing along to all our favorite numbers like "If All the Raindrops", "Colors of the Rainbow", "If You're Happy and You Know It", " The Baby Bop Hop", "The Dino Dance", "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and Barney's signature "I Love You" song.



We were even introduced to Mr. Knickerbocker



and heard three songs for the very first time.

Like all Barney episodes, the show weaved in learning and fun with songs like the "A,B,C" song, "Fruits and Vegetables" and the "Clean Up" song.



Bunny Boo is 8 months old but the show even had him engrossed and gurgling with giggles, till just before the interval when my poor tired baby fell asleep.



Bunny girl has already started asking me when the next Barney show will come to town and if you promise not to laugh I'll let you in on a big purple secret.....I honestly can't wait for the next one either!

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: Watch Shaun in 'Party Animals' and Barney in 'A Counting' (+Dvd Giveaways)

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

Shaun and his woolly buddies are back with fun, madness and celebration in their latest dvd release- Party Animals, featuring seven episodes, namely:

• Party Animals -The farmer throws a costume party for his birthday. When Bitzer loses all the invitations, Shaun saves the day again. Disguised in their own ingenious costumes, the sheep stand in as the guests. But can they fool the Farmer into believing he is surrounded by his friends?
  
• Double Trouble-A bored Shaun dresses up as the Farmer to entertain the flock. Realizing he now has the power to boss Bitzer around; Shaun takes the opportunity to throw a party for the flock. All goes according to plan until Bitzer puts two and two together. Then Shaun encounters the real Farmer!
  
• Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow-The Farmer is preparing for a date! He wants to look his best so it’s time to dust off his prized hairpiece. Shaun can’t resist trying the wig on but loses it while showing off to the flock. The race is on as Shaun and Bitzer try to return the wig in time for the Farmer’s big night
  
• Pig Swill Fly
  
• Operation Pidsley
  
• Shaun Goes Potty and
  
• Pig Trouble
  

One would think with Timmy's new show, Shaun's charm and hilarity would taper but guess what? Shaun and the gang still tickle our funny bones in a big way! What's nice is you can watch this at the end of a long day, with family members of all ages and have everyone laugh the night away.

This September 7 2010 release from Hit Entertainment and Lionsgate production has an approximate run time of 50 minutes and also includes 2 bonus features-'Timmy's Tune' and 'Building A Pig'


To celebrate going back to school, Barney comes out with a new preschooler entertainer-A Counting We Will Go


Here Barney and his friends help Baby Bop learn how to count to ten after she realizes she just doesn't know how to after being asked to count while playing 'Hide and Seek'. With a little imagination, lots of fun and singing, Baby Bop learns her numbers from 1 to 10....and your toddler will too!

I personally feel this is a fun dvd to watch if you're trying to teach your child how to count. On the learning front, this may not be as engaging for an older preschooler but rest assured the activity book, that comes with the dvd, will make up for that.

This September 14 2010 release from Hit Entertainment and Lionsgate production has an approximate run time of 54 minutes and also includes 1 bonus feature-the 'Counting In The Garden' game


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