My 2 1/2 year-old son received this dvd as a Christmas gift and LOVES it! It's now February and he still asks to watch it frequently. It is well-produced and entertaining so we don't mind watching it as well.

Yes, it is longer (obviously) and more complex than the Bob TV series, and some children may get bored with it. And Elton John fans, be warned, his character does not have a very big role.

We have been waiting for this for over a year, and my 4 year-son old was VERY happy to see it finally arrive. We loved the last "feature length" movie (Knights of fix-a-lot) so I knew that this story would be able to hold his attention for the full story. I LOVED seeing Elton John... which my son couldn't care less about. He wished he could see the trucks more. (They didn't do much work in this story that is for sure.) He also wanted to see Bob and his brother (Tom) together more... don't want to spoil it, but they don't get together till the end! He didn't get to see them spend Christmas together, which was the whole point of the movie to him. He also thought the new Mayor was bossy... which she was.
So.... we liked it, but thought it was quite a bit different from the usual fix-everything-format. My son still asks to watch this one, but more often asks to watch other "Bob movies".

My three-year-old son has loved this movie more than any other Bob the Builder video for more than a year. He cannot take his eyes off of it-and it's a fairly long show. Luckily, it's entertaining enough for the whole family to watch with interest. We highly recommend this for Bob enthusiasts and first-timers.

Fantastic! This is a movie to own and enjoy even when the kids are at school! We love it!
My children are five and nine and they BOTH enjoy it every night!
We have owned it for over a month!

We weren't sure about this one based on earlier reviews, but thought we'd try it. We have a 3-year-old Bob devotee who would definitely know if he saw a sub-standard Bob movie, but he absolutely loves it. He loves seeing Bob and his brother at the end. The tractors are great in this one and the addition of Lennie and the Lazers is great. The movie is a great advance in the team's animation and cinematography (not that 3-yr-olds care about that, but it makes it more enjoyable if you're an adult). The writing is fresh and enjoyable, and the characters are crisp and fun. The mayor is bossy, but hey, there are people in the world like that, good or bad. Everyone works together just as always. This movie is a lot of fun!

My son loves Bob the Builder and when we saw this new Christmas video we just had to buy it. My son loves it, he sings and dances along with the music and just has a great time watching it.

I just love this Bob the Builder Christmas special. It features guest star Elton John as part of the rock group Lenny and the Lasers and Bob's twin brother Tom. A fun movie!

My grandson is 16 months old and he loves Bob-Bob (as he calls him). This precious baby is always so busy so he is a hand full. Nearly the only time he will sit still is for Bob-Bob and Christmas movies. This puts them together and he loves it. My daughter loves it because it gives her some free time and it's also an entertaining video that always has some bit of educational benefit to it. We recommend all the Bob, The Builder video's. One day, our grandson told us he was Bob-Bob. Guess he just wanted a change of identity for a few hours. So great that he has already learned how to play 'pretend'.

The movie is great and my age 3 son loves the movie. Perfect on a cold snowy day!

We love Bob but this one isn't his best... Has Elton John in it which is kind of strange but whatever... Kind of boring and hard storyline for a 2 year old to follow, but in the end, a nice message of the importance of family.
