    ABOUT:

    Get revved up for the red hot preschool star, Roary the Racing Car™, speeding onto his very first DVD, Digital Download and On Demand release June 7, 2011 from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment.  You have a front row ticket to Silver Hatch Racetrack to delight in the high-speed adventures of Roary™, Dragga, Zizzy and Lugga, along with human pals Big Chris, Marsha, Officer Pete…and even curmudgeonly Mr. Carburettor, as they drive through lessons in doing the right thing, staying positive, helping others, staying safe, problem solving and friendship.  With boundless enthusiasm and a get-up-and-go attitude, Roary is ready to race right into your heart!

    Narrated in the U.S. by Indy and NASCAR racer Sam Hornish Jr., Roary the Racing Car launched on Sprout® in October of 2008, airing in 54MM homes 7 days a week, but the premiere DVD has a treat for their fans featuring episodes never-before-seen on TV!  This red hot engine has performed notably well on Sprout on Demand, on average ranking in the network’s top 10 programs requested.  Roary has been cross promoted on 2MM preschool DVDs, and all-new Roary toys are now available exclusively at Toys “R” Us!

    Start your engines for fun and excitement with Roary the Racing Car and his racetrack buddies, Tin Top, Zizzy, Dragga and mischievous Maxi, as they zoom into exciting high-speed adventures. The racetrack becomes a pit stop of great times as everyone goes the extra mile for Marsha’s birthday party, Big Chris becomes a babysitter and Rusty is on a roll…without wheels! Put your pedal to the metal and buckle up for big-time fun from START to FINISH!

    Episodes include:

    • “Stars and Cars” – Big Chris has been invited to appear on a TV karaoke show.  The cars are worried that the success will go to his head and he’ll leave Silver Hatch forever.
    • “Rusty Takes a Trip” – Rusty is fed up with sitting in one place.  Roary and the other cars plan a special surprise for him, but Rusty soon decides he prefers life without wheels!
    • “Big Chris Babysits” – Big Chris has been left in charge of the track and keeping an eye on Roary and Zizzy.  But is Big Chris the one that needs looking after?
    • “Roary Gets it Wrong” – Farmer Green has given Roary lots of packages to deliver to everybody around the track.  How will Roary remember which package belongs to who?
    • “Computer Calamity” – Mr. Carburettor has decided that Silver Hatch needs to move with the times and do everything with computers. But Big Chris is a traditional mechanic, so what happens when the two disagree?
    • “Big Chris Forgets” – It’s Marsha’s birthday, and Big Chris is in charge of organizing a surprise for her.  Why does everybody keep reminding him what he needs to do?  He wouldn’t forget anything… would he?!

    MY THOUGHTS:

    My boys love “Roary the Racing Car” and they were so excited to get this DVD.  They immediately claimed it for the car DVD player and I can’t even tell you how many times they have watched it before.  Right now we can only find Roary on Sprout and seem to always miss it so a whole 55 minute DVD is perfect.  Roary is not really an animated show but more claymation and it features a mechanic and talking cars who have fun adventures.  They work together and solve problems, as well as have fun!  I have only seen snippets of this DVD since its been in our car but I have heard it and it is a wholesome great shows for kids, especially if they are car lovers!

    BUY IT: You can buy “Roary the Racing Car” wherever DVDs are sold.
