4.0 out of 5 stars New episodes, but default language is French?!, June 10, 2003

This review is from: Bob The Builder - Building Friendships (DVD)

My 4 year old loved seeing the new episodes on this DVD. New characters (Trix, Molly) were a nice surprise.

A couple complaints though: Default language on the DVD is French! Each time we play it we have to first go into the menu to switch to English. Maybe I got the wrong version of the DVD? And there is no easy way to get right to the Bob the Builder episodes... we have to sit through the Wiggles and other preview stuff first.

4.0 out of 5 stars French Language Update, October 7, 2003

This review is from: Bob The Builder - Building Friendships (DVD)

Just to update my previous review. This past weekend I received a new version of the Building Friendships DVD from HIT Entertainment. The new version has English as the default language and all the commericials that were at the beginning of the previous DVD have been moved to the end.

An excellent version of Building Friendships.

2.0 out of 5 stars French Language Default and too many advertisements, September 26, 2003

By

This review is from: Bob The Builder - Building Friendships (DVD)

The DVD is not bad. My 22 month old son likes it a lot. The problem is going to be with the parents.

First of all, the DVD default language is in French, so you will most likely have to stop the DVD and switch it to English. I've tried contacting the DVD makers, but have not gotten a response yet.

The second irrating problem is that there are a lot of advertisements for different TV shows before the Bob the Builder program begins. I have to fast forward the DVD to Chapter 7 to get to Bob (Note: The French Language version has no advertisments at the beginning.)

If the makers can issue a version that has English as a default language and no advertisements at the beginning, then they will have a winner. The DVD as it is now is not building any friendships.
