Love it! Love it! Love it! My 8-year old son gave this to his 4-year old sister for her birthday. He will be 9 soon and enjoys it just as much as she does. The Backyardigans are clever, imaginative and the music is incredibly addictive. We had a 17 hour odyssey during the Texan Hurricane Rita evacuation and they were happy the entire trip. This Backyardigans DVD gets a lot of the credit for that. They truly enjoy this DVD and, to be honest, I keep hearing, "I want my river back..." in my head. My son calls them the Snackyardigans but we all love them just the same.
My Son Plays This Video Over And Over We bought It's Great to Be a Ghost for my son's birthday and he's been watching it several times a DAY. Fortunately, The Backyardigans are amusing and witty!
With a run-time of 49 minutes, this VHS includes 2 features:
IT'S GREAT TO BE A GHOST!
Pablo, Tyrone and Uniqua are ghosts, haunting an old house to the sounds of '20s-style jazz. When unsuspecting Tasha drops by, they really put their scaring skills to the test! (In this episode, it's interesting to see the ghost-like renderings of the characters. The animators have done a top-notch job!)
MONSTER DETECTIVE
60s-style rock underscores Tyrone's adventures as a no-nonsense detective helping his client Uniqua to retrieve her soccer ball from the castle of the Soccer Monster (Pablo)! (My son goes around the house growling SOCCER MONSTER!)
It's Great To Be A Ghost is a wonderful video that will be sure to enrapture children. However, because The Backyardigans are so amusing, witty, and colorful--featuring great toe-tapping songs and vibrant animation--don't be surprised if you, as an adult, fall in love with it, as well!
