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.

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.

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.

We really like this video in our house -it's just great. My little one just loves watching all the stories. The story of the equipment moving someone from their home is really cute and well done. Lofty carries a couch through the air which makes for some interesting comments from the neighbors. I really like the fact that there are videos that send a positive message of working together and building things as a team. These videos are very cute, well done, and well worth the investment.

Bob the builder is a great video for any age. My kids loved them at age 2, and loved them at age 5 (may be a little boring for older kids though). Great for teaching teamwork and politeness. All-around wholesome!

the first copy I ordered would only play in French. Amazon took it back and sent another that also only played in French. They aren't able to send another since it is a widespread problem.
