My 5 year old loves Bob and his crew. This movie is a big hit at our house. I even like it, and with some preschool videos, that just doesn't happen. But Bob and Wendy seem to bring out the best values. My son loves putting on his hardhat and playing Bob with his sisters. This video emphasizes helping each other. My kids are also soccer fans, so this was a big plus too. If you've got a small kid hooked on videos, I can really recommend this video or any from this series.

Some of the original British only Bob the Builders had rather restrictive roles for Wendy, very stereotyped into helpless female etc. These episodes are fantastic on two levels -- Except for the wallpaper Wendy, they all feature ball games, soccer, tennis, mini golf etc. Very appealing for any little boy. AND, as a stay at home mom, who does all of the fixing around our house, I like that Wendy takes over very capably when Bob is sick, and acts like an equal partner, rather than just being a secretary sitting in the office and taking phone calls.

This one has largely positive stories with Wendy solving problems and in charge while Bob is sick/busy etc. The stories that involve fixing a tennis court, soccer field, etc are a great deal of fun for my 2 1/2 year old son. Very sweet, and nice to see Wendy as a capable and equal partner in Bob's business.

I think this is one of the best Bob the Builder videos we have. It's pretty funny seeing how Wendy has to come to Bob's rescue when he tries to hang wallpaper. I suppose the best part of this video is that even though Wendy is a girl, she can fix things too which I think gives confidence to girls to "try" something that just might be out of the ordinary for a girl. As the daughter of a Mr. Fixit, I have learned and used many of the things I was taught as a youngster and Wendy makes it appear to be just "normal" for girls to do these things and not weird. Life puts you in different situations and sometimes the "Barbie Princess" needs to remove her crown and pick up a toolbelt, if you know what I mean! Wendy is just as comfortable fixing cement and painting a soccer field as she is in organizing the construction office. Very well done and I highly recommend this one!

Bob the builder is such a great show. It would be hard not to like it.

New storyline, but very similar to all the other Bob the Builder movies. If you have a Bob the Builder nut, then this will be a hit! If you don't, then the kids may just watch it once or twice. Never have to worry about content with Bob the Builder's. Appropriate for any age (mine are 3 and 5)

Since My 4 and a half year old loves Bob the Builder, all those videos are good to him. For the most part, I am ok with BTB. The biggest thing I don't like is when one of the characters, especially Spud, does something wrong, he or she simply says "Sorry" and everything is ok. My little guy says "sorry" as a reaction rather than a true apology. I do point out to him that in the real world and especially our world, there are consequences for unacceptable behaviors.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF ADVERTISING ON THE DVD!! TARGETTING 2 YR.OLDS IS BEYOND LIMITS, I FEEL!!
