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


This January 25, 2011 release comes packed with 7 "typically Shaun" episodes that include

* “Spring Lamb”
* “Supersize Timmy”
* “Bagpipe Buddy”
* “Cheetah Cheater”
* “Lock Out”
* “Draw the Line” and
* “Ewe’ve Been Framed”

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: 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

CLOSED: Shaun the Sheep: One Giant Leap for Lambkind (+Dvd Giveaway)

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

These little woolly folk are the sweetest entertainment on 'tele'. This is my second Shaun the Sheep dvd review and I honestly hope we get to see more of these fluffy wacky expressioned sheep as they're innocently funny little pranksters at work!

Shaun the Sheep: One Giant Leap for Lambkind is packed with six mini episodes (and they're really mini!) that include:

• The Visitor
• The Bull
• Hiccups
• Bitzer Outs His Foot In It
• Save The Tree and
  
• Shaun Encounters
  

You can watch Shaun and his buddies' encounters with a spacecraft traveler, mischievous little pigs and a bull, aliens and more! The dvd also includes a sing-along feature and an online game for your preschooler to play.

Sadly, this June 8 2010 release from Hit Entertainment and Lionsgate production has an approximate run time of 35 minutes and not much more. A disappointment for Shaun fans but a pro for preschooler parents who like to ensure 'tele' time is limited to half an hour and not more.

(Thanks to Andrea Blain Public Relations we received this dvd to preview.)


Buy it:

You can buy Shaun the Sheep: One Giant Leap for Lambkind on Amazon.com for 14.49 US$.
