Watch out, Gromit !!!!!!

The fantastic "animation", continuity of characterizations,  and the zany stories all add up to superb entertainment for all. The people who played all their parts in creating the W&G stories must be consummate professionals.  One would have to be a Total Dud to not sense the joy and love that went into these creations.  Watch them!

Vdeo Brinquedo has done it again in making yet another great original film fun for the whole family! My only concern was the monsters. Timothy was just terrified of them, I know he won't sleep for days now. If they could just tone down the high-quality, realistic animation that would be great. Please support Vdeo Brinquedo by not seeing those crappy Pixar films and purchasing these quality films instead.

"Wubbzy lives in a tree. He likes to play! Play! Play!
He's got a bendy tail
And he likes it that way!

Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!
Wubbzy! Wubbzy! Wow! Wow!"

I dare you to listen to the Wubbzy theme song and not sing along.
No, I DOUBLE dare ya!!

Although this loveable cartoon is for a much younger age group (preschool), older kids will also get a kick out the funny characters and Pac-Man style simple animation.

The main character is a squarish yellow creature with a long tail that can bend into any shape, including a spring, which he uses from time to time for rapid locomotion.  His friends are an overly-enthusiastic female rabbit inventor named Widget, and a bespectacled and very intelligent purple creature named Walden.  Each has a catch phrase of their own, which kids will soon be repeating ad nauseam.

This DVD contains 8 episodes from Season One, and is the first DVD released from the series.

A Tale of Tails
Special Delivery
Widget's Wild Ride
Attack Of The 50-foot Fleegle
Come Spy with Me
Wubbzy Tells a Whopper
Mt. Fizzy Pop
Puddle Muddle

Each episode has a positive message for kids, such as being comfortable with who you are; not touching things that don't belong to you; telling the truth; the importance of reading instructions; the joys of having friends, and much more.

It may drive parents crazy, but kids will love it.  So the next time your child utters the phrase "That's koooky", rest assured that he/she heard it on this show, and not from your psychiatrist or mother-in-law.

"Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!
Wubbzy! Wubbzy! Wow! Wow!"

Darn!  Now I'll be singing it for days

Warning: Addictive.  Do not watch while driving or operating heavy machinery

Caution: There are already over sixty episodes, so be prepared for multiple DVD purchases.

Helpful hint: Christmas is coming.  Recommended for any preschoolers on your list.

One of the most disturbing horror films I can remember! Michael Meyers got old, and this one was a surprise...no Michael Meyers! This was truly a scary Halloween movie, and I bring it out every Halloweeen, and still have to cover my eyes in a couple parts of the movie. That incessant jingle in the mask commercial by Silver Shamrock, the company that wants to kill thousands of little trick or treaters, is haunting, and all I can say is--this is one diabolical film with one shock after another. The soundtrack is enough to make you shudder, too. A classic.

Well,this was a movie figure I was really looking forward to,and from the package he looks great. His alternate form is much better than his robot mode. It's a jet looking thing that has a firing missile and pinching claws. When you get to robot mode,the problems begin. First of all,the ice on him makes him look like he fell in a tank of liquid nitrogen,and it really looks stupid next to other figures. Next his arms are really small and it looks like he has someone else's arms. And finally the worst problem. Two words:HIS HEIGHT.He is so small,that Bumblebee,yes Bumblebee is roughly the same height he is. Amazingly inaccurate,he looks terrible next to Starscream(who,of course is usually shorter than him).The one good thing about him is he makes an imagintive paper weight.

UPDATE:I eventually got so sick of this guy that I customized it and simply put "Megatron is no more...from the ashes rises:GALVATRON.He may stink as Megatron but as my own Galvatron he just works,because he, believe it or not,because of his size. He just looks great!

Every time I do an Amazon/MST3K review - I Have to post this notice. - And - it's because a handful of diehard goofballs - Can't allow someone (like me) to have an opinion - and give a rating - that is anything Less than 100%.
(Everyone's 'funny bone' is in a different place - and this is my reaction - of course)
So - if you like my review and it helps you - Great. - And if you Don't - just go write your own review - and leave me Alone! (Thanks)

Jungle Goddess (B&W); (Joel, Kevin & Trace)
Starts with a segment of a Bella Lugosi 'part' of a movie. Only one riff I liked - Joel commenting about 'ruthless comedy club owners'.
(my rating for this segment is only a 1)
The movie itself stars George Reeves (of The Adventures of Superman fame) - yet very little riffing about that (perhaps 3-4 comments).
I only had a few chuckles here and there. (My rating - scale of 1 to 10) Rating 3

The Painted Hills (color); (Joel, Kevin & Trace)
*Short 'Body Care and Grooming' (B&W) (there was another Hygiene MST short about kids that was Much better). Rating 3
(Movie) a Very bleak story - and 'dark' in topic. - Even the ending is Not uplifting.
I Didn't like the 1st 'Sausages' riff - but heard it like Anther 20 times.
At one point - it looks like the actual dog - was thrown like 10 feet - for the effect of the story. - I'm Not cool with Any animal abuse - even if it was 50 years ago. Rating 4

The Screaming Skull (B&W): (Mike, Kevin & Bill) (and Unfortunately Maryjo/Pearl. I Don't like her)
*Extra bonus, 'Gumby & Clokey' (color) - a Great historical presentation - by the son of the creator of Gumby!! Rating 9!!
*Short, - Gumby 'Robot Rumpus' (color) I LOVE it!! Rating 8 1/2
(Movie) on the DVD case it says '1940' - yet some riffing says 1953, 1958.
One character is 'Mickey' - yet Not one 'Mickey Mouse' riff. He gets slapped across the ear - yet they missed a Mr. Gower/Wonderful Life riff. The riffing picked up towards the end - and I had some good laughs.
It's a movie about Severe betrayal - and I Didn't enjoy that.
One of that last riffs as the movie ended - was about The Doors, - and I Love when they do that!! Rating 5 1/2

Squirm (color): (Mike, Trace & Bill) (and Unfortunately Maryjo/Pearl. I Don't like her)
Short 'A Case of Spring Fever' (B&W) "No Springs!!" : ) I really enjoy the 'hokeyness' and nostalgia of this short! Rating 7
(Movie) At 48:44 minutes - a Great riff about 'Okay if I come along too?'. : )
This actor looked like a young David Letterman - yet (again) Not one riff or mention about him.
For some of the movie he wore a Howdy Doody like shirt - only one mention/riff of that.
A horror/scifi movie about 'Worms' - yet Not one riff about 'the early bird gets the worm'.
I had a few laughs - but kind of a standard MST3K. Rating 4

My overall rating of this set - was just under average - but then I factored in the shorts and that bonus Gumby documentary - and upped it a bit. Rating 5 1/2

Don't get me wrong - I LOVE MST3K - I just give my reactions and opinions to This particular set. Thanks, Scott M.

I don't care if you've seen some of these cartoons in the paper earlier or if you are a new PBS reader....one can never get tired of seeing Rat be "RAT" and Pig...well, you thought Pooh was pathetically sad?  You ain't seen nothing until you learn the inner Pig!  And then there is Larry and Bob the crocs.  Be sure to buy all the PBS books.  They are hilarious.  (Please note: This reviewer is not on the payroll of PBS, but would gladly accept graft.)

So you know those BUNCH EM TOYS they sell for kids as a craft ....??...

WELL, if they get into your child's hair for whatever reason #dontthrowthemaround.. they WILL NOT COME OUT until you cut them out.

YUP, We learned the hard way. We had to cut them out of her hair.

4 of them stuck deep into my daughter's beautiful hair!!!---> one in the crown --> me, trying for 45 minutes to find a way to get them out ...and in a complete state of panic -- decide to call for help #SOS

I thought I swore we'd have to chop off to get them out! We tried conditioner and detangler and they didn't budge at all !

::WARNING:: 

So don't buy these bunch ems for your kids if they're as NUTS AS MINE ARE ... and if you do, well, don't say I didn't warn ya .

OOOO....& you bet I had the kids look
for and find every last one and threw them in the garbage #neveragain #byebyebunchems

The quality is not very good.  The gromit holes are very close to the edge and the wind quickly tears them out.  Some gromit holes were within 1/8 inch of the edge.  I ended up installing many new gromits putting them where they should have been.  I've had the same problem with side covers and both end covers.  If you buy this, plan on installing new gromits.

The top three Amazon reviews of this movie are really good and I suggest you read them. The reason for this review so to warn all you hardcore sci-fi fans (like myself) who're well versed (ha!) in the language and terminology of several sci-fi 'verses. Most viewers couldn't frakking care about how the meaning of a word in one 'verse means something completely different on the other side of the wormhole. So, if you know what "Hamman side" and "Trebin side" means, you're going to have a frelling hard time keeping a straight face as, all through the krastik movie, the greebol main characters repeatedly (x10) jibber the name of their creation: "Dren! Dren, Dren. Dren! No, Dren! Dren! Stop! Dren! Good Dren! Dren...Dren...wait Dren, Dren, Dren! No! Dren! Bad Dren! Trust me, what I'm saying is not a load of dingo's kidneys. You'll be laughing your mivoks off! I speak the goramn truth. So if you're a true fan, DUCK! Other than that, it's an ok suspense flick.

In KING KONG ESCAPES, the UN Research Council is busy looking for oil, while at the same time, the nefarious Doctor Who (Hideyo Amamoto- GODZILLA VS. THE SEA MONSTER) and his eeevil benefactor, Madame Piranha, aka: Madame X (Mie Hama- KING KONG VS. GODZILLA) are at the North Pole, where they are using Who's newly-constructed robot Kong to extract tons of "Element X" from the frozen Earth. Miraculously, the UN Research vessel, w/ commander Nelson (Rhodes Reason- VOODOO ISLAND) at the helm, discovers the real KING KONG on Mondo island, at almost the same time! Yep, the big go-rilla has to battle a high-hopping-lizard-of-enormous-size, in order to save Lt. Susan Watson (Linda Miller) from certain doom. KONG soon engages in monster fights by land and sea! Can a full-on, mega-monkey / robo-Kong smack-down be far off? Nope, but first, the UN must discuss the situation, and assemble an expedition team. Meanwhile, after Dr. Who's creation conks out, he captures the real KONG, and puts him to work instead. Can the KING break free from Dr. Who's control? Of course! There's hell to pay, as the awful Doctor unleashes his titanic tin-can to destroy our hairy hero, and it's "Tokyo here they come"! Many toy tanks are dispatched, as the two gargantuan gladiators flatten the plastic city! Oh, the humanity! KING KONG ESCAPES is yet another Ishiro Honda masterpiece!...

You let Lucasfilm know how you feel by not purchasing another lame edition of the trilogy! Show your dissatisfaction by emailing or calling them !!! If they get enough complaints , then they'll finally listen. Stop giving your money to Lucas until he releases the original versions with 16x9 and some decent extras like deleted scenes. This is just another Jedi mind trick Lucas is throwing at you !! He knows how gullible you all are. Stop this madness now !!!!!

Explosion Warning! If you travel back in time don't let this watch come in contact with itself; as seen in 12 Monkeys S01E01!

As part of the Goblin Underground, I must protest Ms. Jackson's continual misrepresentation of Goblinkind.  What's so wrong with Goblin fruit?  Frankly, it cannot be any worse than chocolate?  Both are addictive, but chocolate can make your face break out and can put a pound or two on the saddle bags.  So which is worse?  Goblin fruit!  WHY??? Simply because Ms. Jackson tells us so.  Now she is maligning the Unseelie Court.  Is there nothing sacred to this woman?

There is small doubt she is a talented writer, and this is a very imaginative read, just can she go co harass gremlins or cave trolls and leave us poor Goblins alone?  But will she?  Not as long as she keeps convincing us how cleaver she is.

Abrial is a cool hero, slayer for the Unseelie Court, but I sure liked the guy with dragon wings.

Ms. Jackson, beware!  The Goblins'll get you if you don't watch out!!

My whole family loves Wallace and Gromit.  My children are 5 and 7 years of age and get a kick out of all the hilarious situations that Wallace finds himself in.  We always look forward to the next one.

Watch as ELMO, the fuzzy red muppet from SESAME STREET, loses his favorite BLUE BLANKET and heads off into the big scary world to find it! Even if it means heading into GROUCHLAND itself! This is the first feature-length movie starring Elmo and there is probably not a thing anybody can do to stop it from being the last! MANDY PATINKIN and VANESSA WILLIAMS help Elmo in his quest! This is a movie for the kiddies and not for the young at heart! This movie will only drive older people up the wall! But the little ones will be ENTRANCED for hours! Just do not let them see the "Making Of" segment on this DVD or they might be upset by the fact Elmo is not real!
