It was exactly as described and pictured

When I was a little girl I used to watch the Backyardigans all the time. I remembered how much I used to love it and decided to buy the DVD. It arrived in good condition and I really enjoyed my time watching it. It gave me so much nostalgia. I watched it recently when I was feeling sort of sick and it was pretty enjoyable. If you watch or used to watch the Backyardigans then I recommend that you buy the DVD and give it a peek.

My kids love this show, they watch at least one episode every day. We have all of the dvd's to date, and have pre-ordered the next one coming out. Sadly Nickelodeon apparently doesn't put as much stock in this show as it does some of their other's, so it isn't on Nick Jr. as often, nor is it marketed as hard as some of the other kids shows. We bought the dvd's to make sure we have the shows to watch when my kids want to watch them, not at the mercy of the Nickelodeon scheduling. Of course, they are great for those long road trips, too.

Absolutely love it, the shipping was fast. My neice loves the Backyardigans. And like with my nephew (her brother) auntie has tried to track down & collect as many as possible. So this was great instead of her watching in one YouTube she now owns her copy. It has some of my favorite episodes as well such title episode, Front Page News, Le Master of Disguise, & Pirate Camp ever. It's money well spent, and I get to her hopping around and going "Arrr".

My son, who is 5 years old, has always loved the Backyardigans and this one is a winner. It has a lot of fun action and very entertaining dancing. My daughter, who is his twin, also gets caught up in the singing and dancing. The children put on a show themselves. Then they will act out the episodes after watching the dvd. It's so much fun to watch them. I'm hoping a Backyardigan Christmas dvd comes out befor the Holiday. I know it would be a big hit with the children and parents.

My son is a year and a half and he loves escape from fairytale village.the music is very country, but its upbeat and when they start singing he doesn't take his eyes off the tv. This is one of the funnier episodes, in my opinion. I love when the giant thinks Tyrone is playing hide and seek with him. I think Backyardigans is a great kids show, but I wish there were more episodes that were this entertaining for adults too.

We bought this for our grandson, but our entire family watches it again and again. The first time I played it for my grandson, he and I danced to the songs - which, thanks to replaying the DVD, meant I was dancing with him for around 2 hours! Fun exercise. lol The stories have many levels that our 19-month-old grandson will keep discovering as he grows. He already copies some of the storylines during his playtime. It's wonderful that the show inspires his imagination!
