Bob can't wait to see his twin brother, Tom, who's coming all the way from the Arctic Circle to visit for Christmas. As Bob's list of things to do suddenly swells to unmanageable proportions thanks to the arrival of rock band "Lennie and the Lazers" and the new mayor's very specific ideas about the town's Christmas celebration, even the ever-optimistic Bob wonders, "Can we do it?" While Bob and his crew struggle to finish the necessary preparations, lead singer Lennie develops laryngitis, John the songwriter and piano player (voiced by Elton John) struggles with writer's block, and Bob's brother Tom stops to help a little lost reindeer and misses the only available boat. Can quick thinking and cooperation make this dismal Christmas turn out merry? Features the classic Elton John hit "Crocodile Rock." (Ages 3 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi

Product Description
Merry Christmas from Bob the Builder! Bob's can-do crew is busy decorating for the holidays and building a concert stage for rock starts Lennie and the Lazers. And guess who's coming home for Christmas! Bob's twin brother, Tom - all the way from the Arctic Circle! Unfortunately, things don't go as planned. Spud is up to his usual pranks, Lennie can't sing, and Bob forgot his Santa costume. And it seems Tom won't be home after all. Much to Bob's surprise, Elton John and a mysterious Santa make it a special Christmas to remember!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining!, February 3, 2004

By	David George Hendricks "brian-davis-h" (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bob the Builder - Holiday Video 2003 - A Christmas to Remember (DVD)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another good one, October 23, 2003

By	Merri S Carter (VA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bob the Builder - Holiday Video 2003 - A Christmas to Remember (DVD)

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".

5.0 out of 5 stars We can build it...every night!, August 17, 2005

By	Toes "toniknows" (kansas city, mo United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bob the Builder - Holiday Video 2003 - A Christmas to Remember (DVD)

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.
