This new DVD contains the following episodes:
Escape From Fairytale Village
Front Page News
Le Master Of Disguise
Pirate Camp

It's time for new adventures with our favorite singing and dancing critters, The Backyardigans. This DVD contains four more episodes from Season Three, and these are:

1. Escape from Fairytale Village: Tyrone plays a paperboy with a new route. The thing is, his new clients include Austin the Wolf, Uniqua the Witch and Pablo the Giant, and they all want to have him for dinner. If your kids know their nursery rhymes they'll love this one, and you'll like the bluegrass music.

2. Front Page News: Tasha plays a photographer with a secret super identity, and when a giant robot attacks Bigopolis she's sent out by Editor Pablo to get the scoop. The thing is, how to get the picture when you're busy saving the city? Tyrone as Captain Bubble and Uniqua as Bug Girl provide superhero support to a background of Berlin cabaret music. Best song: "Cheese Cheese"

3. Le Master of Disguise: Pablo is Le Master of Disguise and is hiding on The Orient Express. Police Inspector Austin has to find him before the train reaches Istanbul. Also starring Conductor Uniqua, Cowboy Tyrone and Tasha the Circus Performer. There's only one sure way to identify Le Master of Disguise, and Austin knows what it is. This one is set to Nigerian pop music.

4. Pirate Camp: Uniqua and Pablo sign up for pirate training aboard Pirate Austin's ship, Camp Walkaplanka. Lessons include the Heave Ho, the Swashbuckle and the Scalawag. Trouble strikes when Pirate Austin is captured by the ghost of Captain Redboots (Tasha). Can the trainee pirates save the day? Arrrrrh! The usual four songs are set to the garage band genre.

Another fun and imaginative addition to the series, and a great gift idea for your favorite small fry. Arrrrrh!

My kids own all of the Backyardigan videos. Fairytale Village is scarier than most. Even my 5-year old says it's scary (although my children are more sensitive to this than most), but my 3-year old son won't watch the first video on the movie (with the witch, the big-bad wolf and the giant). Probably better for ages 5 and up, but still very entertaining!

My son, who is 5 years old, has always loved the Backyardigans and this one is a winner. It has a lot of fun action and very entertaining dancing. My daughter, who is his twin, also gets caught up in the singing and dancing. The children put on a show themselves. Then they will act out the episodes after watching the dvd. It's so much fun to watch them. I'm hoping a Backyardigan Christmas dvd comes out befor the Holiday. I know it would be a big hit with the children and parents.

My 3 year old daughter is a huge fan!!! Great episodes included and great music! Quite pleased!!

Ordered this for my two year old twin grandchildren for Christmas. They love watching the backyardigans and dancing to the theme song. Excellent condition and exactly what I wanted for them. Can't wait for them to see it!

We bought this for our grandson, but our entire family watches it again and again. The first time I played it for my grandson, he and I danced to the songs - which, thanks to replaying the DVD, meant I was dancing with him for around 2 hours! Fun exercise. lol The stories have many levels that our 19-month-old grandson will keep discovering as he grows. He already copies some of the storylines during his playtime. It's wonderful that the show inspires his imagination!

My daughter loves the Backyardigans and she really enjoys this dvd. It has a nice feature to play all 4 shows at once.

My kids love the Backyardigans. This just carries out the greatness of them. Great movie!

I wish they would come out with more new Wonder Pets DVD,s. I also would enjoy more new Backyardigans DVD,s. They are fun to watch and they take you away from everyday stress in life.
