Editorial Reviews

Wishbone™, "a little dog with a big imagination," fantasizes that he is the hero of classic novels. Watch as this adventurous Jack Russell terrier leaps into literary adventures. Joe is almost suspended from school when he donates leftover cafeteria food to a local shelter. Joe’s actions, motivated by generosity, spark Wishbone’s imagination, and the Jack Russell terrier leaps into the classic tale of Robin Hood. Imagining that he is the hero of the people, his sense of justice leads him to rob from the rich to give to the poor. Wishbone is joined by Friar Tuck, Little John and the beautiful Mai Marian in Sherwood Forest. But will Robin Hood and his merry men be arrested by the Sheriff of Nottingham? Will Joe be suspended from school after all? Approx. Run Time: 28 minutes

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Children's Series, December 8, 2007

This review is from: Wishbone - Paw Prints of Thieves (DVD)

Paw Prints of Thieves is one of four Wishbone episodes released by HIT entertainment (as of December 2007). (The other three are: Hot Diggety Dawg, The Hunchdog of Notre Dame, and The Impawssible Dream.)

Paw Prints of Thieves tells a watered-down story of The Adventures of Robin Hood, in which Wishbone plays the character of Robin Hood. For the parallel story in Oakwood, Joe is faced with the dilemma of helping Ellie (the lunch lady) take food to the food bank, even though it is against Mr. Bison's (the school food director's) policy.

In short, the theme of the episode is - "Is it ever right to break bad rules for a good cause, even if it means you might get in trouble?"

This review is from: Wishbone - Paw Prints of Thieves (DVD)

Wishbone is a jack russell who imagines himself as characters in different works of literature. In this story, he imagines himself as Robin Hood. This is a great series for children, because it teaches them about literature. It is also a great series for anyone who loves animals. This is one of my favorites, and I definitely think it's worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic children's tv show, May 5, 2010

This review is from: Wishbone - Paw Prints of Thieves (DVD)

This is the classic story of Robin Hood told wishbone style. Wishbone is a dog who sees himself as the main character in a good number of classic stories. Stories such as: Frankenstein, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Three Musketeers, Oliver Twist and many others. This show delighted and enlightened me as a kid. What a great way to introduce kids to classic literature! They just don't make shows like this anymore. This is a show that both kids and parents can enjoy. I'm a fan, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of Wishbone. I'm surprised that not many episodes have made it to DVD. I would like to see more Wishbone episodes on DVD. The only ones that I've seen so far are: Paw Prints of Thieves, Hot Diggity Dog and The Impawsible dream. What about Homer Sweet Homer, Hercules Unleashed, Frankenbone (Frankenstein), Mixed Breeds (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde), Slobbery Hound, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, etc? There are so many great episodes out there, and I know I'm not the only fan. Hopefully we'll see more Wishbone DVDs in the future.
