Bob the builder is great fun. My two boys are big fans, and even I get a kick out of Bob, Wendy, and all his talking equipment. This is longer than most of the Bob the Builder shorts, but the kids watch just as intently. Bob's dad (and near the end his Mom) are a great addition to the Bob family of characters, and this episode even has a little suspense...though nothing to upset the little ones.

The kids & I really enjoyed the DVD. My only complaint about the DVD is the lack of chapter selection. This means you can't go to any specific section of the movie, you have to fast forward to the part you want to watch. Also there is no menu, so you always have to watch the movie trailers at the beginning. They should have spent the time adding chapter selection to this product; otherwise, this movie is very enjoyable.

My mother bought this video for my 2-1/2 year old Bob the Builder lover on the day it was released. He watched it SIX times throughout that day! He quotes from it! Really love that it is feature length instead of a few different episodes in one. Love all the new characters, too. First time the've ever showed child "characters" to my knowledge. My son loves the part when Spud goes to the library!! I hear Bob's brother is his twin -- can't wait for that one! I agree, probably the best Bob video to date...

Okay, so we are big "Bob" fans. We have many of the videos,
and toys and computer software... so it was likely that we
would enjoy this too. But I have to say that this video might
be the BEST Bob-the-Builder video yet. We love that it is one
long story, rather than the usual several short unrelated stories
on a tape or DVD. My son (age 3) was so excited to see Bob's Dad,
and thinks it is so funny that he and his father have the same name, and
the "Dad-Bob" calles the "Real-Bob" by the
name "Bobby"! If you already love Bob and the Gang I know you will love this one.
We can't wait for the one with Bob's brother... due out in October 2003. (I hear it also has Elton John!)

We have 6 or 7 BTB DVDs and this along with The Big Game are some of the better ones. Very nice full length movie style episode about Bob and the Gang, and a castle visit. Has a story line to appeal to the grown-ups as well, with some tension over Bob not being treated like an independent adult by his visiting father(also Bob).

Bob the builder gives us in each film a classy lesson on how one should treat family, friends and associates. I make sure to watch his movies with my kids. Bob the Builder can be insightful and motivated for all age groups. An excellent example is this movie I'm reviewing. Bob has been most gracious with his father, did not want to to hurt his feelings although the father has been interfering with Bob's core responsibilities. Even when the father informed the guest that he was Bob the Builder, Bob did not say anything but at the right moment he confronted his father gently and corrected the situation. We all should learn from Bob the Builder how to be kinder, gentler and more gracious.

My two boys love Bob the Builder and this is by far their favorite Bob the Builder DVD. They can watch it every day.

I sat through it once and enjoyed it myself. Especially interesting to me was the rather adult issue of what happens when parents of their adult children will not acknowledge that their children are now adults and end up treating their adult offspring as if they were still children. Been there; done that.

The characters are well designed; the story moves fast; the colors are very nice on a good television, and the message is positive.

If you or your children like Bob the Builder at all, this is a must for your DVD collection.

I've bought it for my son because he loves the farm tractors.The tractors that he has watched in that cartoon are splendid.They are very real and all the characters,as well.Also I think the story of this cartoon movie is really interesting and fun.I'm Italian but I'm trying to teach English to my son.A cartoon like this is very useful

My 4 year old really loves Bob the Builder and I assure you your son will as well. I loet my daughter watch these and she wasn't nearly as interested, but i still think these videos are great! Lot's of practical ideas and always fun. ...

I was very frustrated when I put this DVD in. You cannot navigate it at all, and it forces you to sit through 10 minutes of advertisements for other HIT products before the show begins. If you know what it is like to have your child whine in a grocery store for candy and gum displayed prominently at child eye-level in the check-out line, you know the feeling.

This reason alone makes it totally unsuitable for repeat viewing. I give it the lowest rating.
