The Backyardigans: Robin Hood the Clean

Backyardigans is one of the best kids shows out there. Doesn’t disappoint.

The music genres featured in each episode may be getting more and more unusual, (Countrypolitan? Son Cubano?) but the fun and imaginative Backyardigan episodes just keep on coming.This DVD contains the usual four episodes, and these are from Season 3.Robin Hood the CleanAll five characters appear in this version of Robin Hood. Austin plays Mayor Stinkypants, who runs the city of Filthingham, banishing all soap and other cleaning materials to the dungeons. Tyrone, Uniqua and Tasha are forced to play along and hope that Robin Hood the Clean (Pablo) can free them from the stinkyness.The Two MusketeersThis is another episode with all five characters. Tyrone and Pablo are Musketeers, Uniqua and Austin are guards and Tasha is the Empress. A mysterious masked woman requests to join the Musketeers, and is soon proving herself against the guards as a mean balloon wielder. Just who is that masked woman anyway?The Masked RetrieverMild librarian by day, Uniqua shows her true colors whenever someone fails to return their library book on time. When the book Tasha wants to borrow is discovered to be overdue, the quest begins to recover it from the hands of the powerful and wealthy Don Austin and his guards Pablo and Tyrone.To the Center of the EarthA thrilling Vernian adventure as the three main characters Tyrone, Pablo and Uniqua drill down, down to the earth's core in search of Tyrone's lucky penny. They go through the "bouncy" layer and the "slippery diamond" layer, but unlike the recent Brendan Fraser movie, there's no schist layer.Recommended for families with young children, people who have young visitors over for a TV evening, and those who don't need an excuse to watch kiddy videos.Amanda Richards, March 21, 2009

The title episode, "Robin Hood the Clean," is a favorite with the kids -- how could it not be when the "villain" is named Mayor Stinkypants! Of course, you'll have to endure your kids calling "stinkypants" all over the house for days after viewing. The songs and melodies are particularly ingenious in this episode.The other episodes are also good. "The Masked Retriever" features Uniqua as a librarian who turns into the Zorro-inspired Masked Retriever when books are overdue. "The Two Musketeers" shows off Tasha's swordmanship (swordhippoship?) and never fear, the swords are crafted from balloons! "To The Center of The Earth" stars Tyrone as a lad searching for his missing penny and Uniqua and Pablo as inventors who are determined to help him reach his penny deep within the Earth. Very catchy songs in this one -- adults: beware, you may sing the title song at work.

This was a gift and the child enjoys the movie. No issues with packaging or how the dvd plays. This dvd was to continue to build a collection of Backyardigan movies. I recommend.

Purchased as a gift for someone else.

Every time we get a new Backyardigans video, my son (3.5 years old) gets so excited he can't wait to watch it and could watch the video for hours (if I'd let him).The songs are catchy, as always, and I find myself singing "So-o-o-oap". I half-expect to hear "Spanish Flea" during "The Masked Retrieaver" each time we watch it.This DVD includes "Robin Hood the Clean", "The Two Musketeers", "The Masked Retriever", and "To The Center of the Earth".

We are such big Backyardigans fans in my house. The songs are incredibly cute, the characters always get along well and there's never any violence. This DVD has one of our favorite episodes - Robin Hood the Clean. It has charming, engaging songs and a really cute storyline. The other episodes on this disc tend to lose my son's interest, but it was worth it to have Robin Hood the Clean.

I preordered this item on Amazon. was suppose to be released on the 10th, i received it on the 9th!!! when I checked the item page again it was still a preorder. AWESOME!!!! 4 episodes on this disc, all but one are dvd exclusives, unless if they release he others at a later date. episodes are as follows:ROBIN HOOD THE CLEANTHE TWO MUSKETEERS(Airs on TV)THE MASKED RETRIEVERTO THE CENTER OF THE EARTHAlso included are some videos. great overall, my 3 yr old loves

This is a lovely Backyardigans DVD. I used the story of "Robin Hood the Clean" to teach my son, who is not keen on washing/ bathing, the importance of being clean and has seen good imporvement on his behavior. In the British version, the name of the "Nottingham" city is "Rottingham" whereas the American version is "Filthingham" and I found that the manufacturer is a bit lazy in using the American cover which doesn't match the British versions. The stories are in British voice and are equally enjoyable. The other episodes include: Pirate Camp, Escape From Fairytale Village, The two Musketeers, The Masked Retriever.

My 2 and 4 year old are mad on the Backyardigans and the ensembles and accompanying songs seem to really capture their imaginations. The episodes on this DVD are: Robin Hood the Clean, Escape from Fairytale Village, Pirate Camp (a spooky adventure about ghost pirates that was my children's favourite),The Two Musketeers, The Masked Retriever. My children really enjoyed this, however their all time favourite Backyardigans DVD is still the Mighty Knights one, so worth checking that one out also.

I bought these for my grandson who is 3 to view when he visits. He is really pleased with them as he doesn't have these stories at home. Well pleased and excellent service.

Great deal, arrived really quickly, would definitely use again.

happy with item
