Fun DVDs for Little Ones

July 26, 2010

We received two very fun DVDs from HIT entertainment to check out and my four year old couldn't be happier! I guess it has been a while since I have watched a Thomas & Friends DVD and I was pleasantly surprised at how the animation quality had changed.  My four year old is a huge Thomas fan and was so excited to see episodes that he had not seen before.  This is a great addition to a Thomas lover's DVD collection!

Fizzling fireboxes! Steam along with four all-new adventures with preschool favorite Thomas & Friends™ when Thomas & Friends: Creaky Cranky arrives on DVD July 13, 2010 from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment. These all-new, never-before-seen on TV episodes in full CG animation feature Thomas challenging Cranky the Crane to see who can lift the heaviest loads. Thomas takes charge of the Sodor Steam Works and fulfills his dream of delivering the mail. Get your pink on with James' new paint job and then try sing-along Karaoke fun with the bonus "Sound Song" Karaoke Music Video! Children will enjoy host Driver Perkins, who can ONLY be seen on DVD, and engages children with interactive dialogue and extra fun!

Teaching timeless life lessons such as discovery, friendship and cooperation, the Thomas & Friends animated series invites children to enter a world of imagination through the tracks of a train and the words of a story.

DVD SYNOPSIS
Thomas and his friends deliver cargo-loads of fun in this collection of uplifting episodes! Ride along as Thomas helps to deliver mail, mend engines, and prepare for the Spring Party on the Island of Sodor. Watch as Thomas learns that it pays to listen to advice, there's more to a train than its undercoat, and that sometimes it takes a team of friends to reach your true destination.

Episodes include:

  • "Creaky Cranky"
  • "Tickled Pink"
  • "Steamy Sodor"

The other great DVD we received was Music Music Everywhere, just released July 20th from Lionsgate And HIT Entertainment.  This was a very lively DVD and great entertainment for your little ones who will love the combination of their familiar friends and catchy tunes to go with it.  You have to love that there is a bonus CD to take with you in the car or wherever you may go.
