The editorial for this DVD is right on, so I'll pass on repeating that info. This DVD is truely eye candy for young and old. The animation is really cool and dramaticallly different from most other cartoons. Think super realistic, 3-D; a bit similar to clay animation, but much more realistic. Water, bubble, and spash scenes are particularly plentiful and fun to watch. There is always a good learning lesson in the video which is very pertinent to preschoolers needs. The extras on the DVD are two games; several "fill-in the puzzle piece" picture games and a classic matching game. There is also character bios, an extensive narrated "trailer" with many video clips titled Rubbadubbers-Beyond The Bath, an extensive narrated photo gallery, and 3 bonus mini adventure clips. I have boys aged 3 & 4 who really enjoy this new series. All in all I think this show is quite worthy and very entertaining. I think the DVD is well worth getting. My children particularly enjoy playing the games.

Bring on the Rubbadubbers and their OZ accents! I love the frog who exclaims "Swim-ming!" when he gets excited. Finbar the shark is funny and they all beat Dragon Tales by a mile! I don't mind listening to these voices over and over and over again, which is what happens when you have a preschooler in the house. I am so tired of Elmo's baby talk and Ord's dopey whine, I had almost given up on kid videos. maybe grown ups think they aren't complicated enough, but I found them far more stimulating than the stuff we're getting on PBS Kids!

Children under four will find this light cartoon with its catchy tune and imaginatively drawn characters lots of fun. We all have our favorite characters, and enjoy the rather moralistic plots that encourage children not to be greedy or selfish by imagining how things would be if they got their wishesq. The Aussie accents are pleasant, too.

We rented this from the video store and my 5 year-old son
liked the cute, pretend adventures of the bath toys using their imagination. Each of the 5 short episodes teaches a nice moral tale. Not very clever, but cheerful and friendly.

You would think that the creators of Bob The Builder would be able to come up with some better stories. The animation is well done but the stories are boring. Can't get the kids to watch it again.

My son loves this DVD and I actually like DVDs that give the parent the option to chose whether the entire DVD will be shown or only an episode at a time (each episode is ~ 10 minutes long, I believe?).
It has a very catchy tune that often gets me humming along! ;-)

the rubbadubbers has a great opening sequence. when we saw it on a bob-the-builder dvd, kid wanted to see it again and again.

unfortunately, the opening sequence is the only part of this that is even remotely entertaining. the rest is just a series of boring stories, all with the same moral: it's more fun to share.

here's my moral: it's more fun to watch a series with songs and/or fun characters. this has neither. try something else.
