The robot repairman episode is the new favorite in our house. Great music, and definitely a fun movie for my kids (1 and 3). My son (3) asks to watch it every morning. The other two episodes on this disc are not that great, which is the reason for my 4-star review. Both episodes only have Tyrone, Pablo and Uniqua (missing Austin and Tasha) and they seem to fall flat. Overall though, definitely a good buy for Backyardigans fans!
**Robot Repairman: Austin is a robot repairman in Mega City. Together with Uniqua, Tasha and Tyrone, he must figure out why all the robots are suddenly malfunctioning. Set to disco music!
** Catch that Train: Uniqua is a train conductor moving the Czar to his winter home. She and Pablo must catch the runaway train before it's too late.
** 50 Foot Worman: Pablo and Uniqua are scientists at a university. Uniqua is studying wormen, and Pablo is working on a growth formula. When the two mix, they team up with Tyrone to shrink the worman.

The shows are fine, what isn't OK is the media errors on the disks. The copy protection makes it unable to be played on a PC and causes errors in playback on my DVD player. Its a pitty since the episodes seem cute.

While the plot & episodes are wonderful, the DVD menu structure is wholly inadequate.

It takes 4 minutes messing with the remote in order to get to the play menu.

A 2 year old doesn't have this long.

My children five and four years old love this episode. It is fun and the music is great. What I love about the Backyardigans is that the singing is good and not obnoxious. The Roller Disco theme is cute and the story is fun. If you have a Backyardigans fan in your home this will be one of their favorites.

The episodes on this DVD are great!! Very creative and lots of fun w/ great music. I enjoy it almost as much as my son does! The Backyardigans does a great job of providing creative, fun, educational programming for their viewers!

This DVD contains Robot Rampage, Catch that Train and Attack of the 50 foot Worman - all have different themes and a good variety of music.

A hit with the kids (3 and 5). The songs on Robot Rampage are great, particularly Evil Pablo's "I get what I want." And the kids love the fact that Pablo says "I'm pooped" throughout "Catch That Train." Another great collection of episodes from The Backyardigans! Episodes: Robot Rampage (Robot Repairman), Catch That Train, Attack of the 50 Ft Worman.

We love Backyardigans in our family. And, since my 2 y.o. son is very much "into robots" right now, we had to have this one. There are 3 episodes: "Robot Repairman" (double length), "Catch That Train", and "Attack of a 50ft Worman". Although, none of them are my favorite Backyardigans episodes, they are pretty good. The music is entertaining, there is a lot of dancing and singing. But, most importantly, my son seems to like them a lot. The second episode takes place in Russia. For me, being Russian myself, it was pretty neat. =)

My oldest son (4) has been a fan of the backyardigans since he was 1 and my younger son, now 2, is following in his footsteps. At one point we had over 50 episodes recorded on the DVR, of which Robot Rampage was one. Short story is we replaced the DVR and lost our "collection". They were so happy to see the Robot episode again, and pleasantly surprised with a train episode and a scientist episode. This is a great DVD, and my sons love it.

My 3 yr old daughter's new found favorite show is The Backyardigans, and we have seen A LOT of episodes recently. We have 50 episodes to watch instantly on Netflix (through almost all of them) and we have gotten many dvds out from the library. This is easily my favorite episode (tied with "Sinbad Sails Alone") and my daughter loves it, too. I LOVE the music (even though it gets stuck in my head all day!). I rather like the train episode, but my daughter doesn't, but she really, really likes the 50 foot worman episode. Now she wants to "Experiment!"

My 3 year old and 6 year old grandsons love this DVD. They love the music and the dancing. I like the way it keeps their attention and everything is presented in a positive way.
