Editorial Reviews

Bob the Builder's infectiously optimistic battle cry ("Can we fix it? Yes, we can!") rings truer than ever in a very busy Yuletide in the delightful Bob's White Christmas. Already committed to play Santa Claus at a children's party, Bob finds that Christmas Eve gets a lot more complicated when freezing temperatures and a blanket of snow arrive. Suddenly, Bob and his crew--Wendy, Scoop, Dizzy, and the others--get an SOS from a snowbound Farmer Pickles, help Spud the scarecrow identify a mysterious "snow monster," and save some stranded critters. There's still time, fortunately, for snowball fights and gift exchanges, but the best part of this holiday is the camaraderie between a great bunch of friends. Keen characterizations and a happy, fluid animation style make Bob the Builder (seen on Nick Jr.) one of the best children's TV programs around. If anything, this Christmas special has even more of the show's vitality and good cheer. --Tom Keogh

Product Description
"Santa Bob" is dreaming of a white Christmas, but along with the snow and ice comes an avalanche of problems! In his first-ever ho-ho-ho holiday show, Bob celebrates by trimming the tree, delivering Christmas presents, and enjoying a snowball fight. But when "Big Freeze" hits, Bob and Scoop must snowplow a path to a snowbound Farmer Pickles. Then, Spud is one scared scarecrow when he discovers a mysterious "Snow Monster". (Don't worry - it's only a snow-covered Dizzy!) Finally, Bob and his friends demonstrate the true spirit of the season when they rescue some hungry ducks and homeless hedgehogs. Along the way, Bob and his crew learn that sometimes the best gift is a helping hand from a friend!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed !!, November 3, 2001

By	EB. (Chelmsford, MA.) - See all my reviews

Very disappointed in this video. Was expecting a full 45 minute Christmas story. Instead, you get about 20 minutes featuring the Christmas story and a "bonus" consisting of shows the kids have already seen many times on Nick Jr.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun For Kids, December 22, 2001

By A Customer

The "Bob The Builder" series is great for toddlers. My 2 year old son loves to watch them over and over. They show various characters in sometimes frustating circumstances (just like real life) and show how normal fears can be overcome. The comraderie between Bob, his wife, and all the personified trucks, cement mixers, etc. is very positive. It shows that different "people" can get along and that helping others is rewarding.

My only complaint, and the reason this only gets 3 stars, is the 5 minutes of commercials tacked on the beginning of the tape. The studio hawks it's wares to innocent toddlers like carnival hucksters, even using the voice of a young child to sell it's goods. As if the whole "Bob The Builder" marketing world wasn't big enough. My kid shouldn't be teased every time he watches these tapes. They certianly could learn a lesson in humility from "Bob".

He watched it several times over the course of the weekend. I am planning to purchase it before too long. Good clean, optimistic, can-do fun!
