Bob’s been busy too this summer with the release of Bob the Builder: Building From Scratch
Bob the Builder™ and his Can-Do Crew have fun getting it done in these exciting building adventures, now in CGI! Join them as they construct all the fixings for a new athletic field and learn why working together is always the blueprint for success. Scratch, the newest member of the team, has many lessons to learn, such as the importance of taking naps, following directions, and taking responsibility. But he is not alone — Roley, Dizzy, Scoop and the entire Top Team are ready to share in the fun, and get the job done!
If you haven’t yet checked out the new CGI DVD’s, you really should! It stands for Computer Generated Imagery and it’s so different compared to what we are used to viewing. I love these newer DVD’s that showcase this new technology. It’s “pretty”…..a girlish word, I know, but I do think it’s so much more attractive to view.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…..Shaun the Sheep is hysterical. The first time I watched it was in the middle of the night while my daughter had a fever. We sat there in awe as Shaun the Sheep and all the characters made us giggle, yet never spoke a word. That’s true comedy when you can do that. Ever since that day, I’ve been a fan!
The latest DVD from the makers of Wallace & Gromit is Shaun the Sheep: One Giant Leap for Lambkind
- Shaun Encounters
- The Bull
- Hiccups
- Bitzer Puts His Foot In It
- Save the Tree
- The Visitor
Last but not least, Barney released Barney: Songs From the Park (DVD + Music CD)
