Studio: Lionsgate / HIT Entertainment

Running Time: 36 minutes

ABOUT:

Tune in for wild musical fun with everyone’s favorite purple dinosaur, Barney and his playground friends, in the all-new Barney: Musical Zoo. Trusted by moms and adored by children, Barney displays sharing, caring, imagining, dancing and learning on television, online and through live events, home entertainment and publishing. The Emmy^® award-winning series, Barney & Friends^™ is one of the top-rated preschool shows today, airing on PBS KIDS^® and PBS KIDS Sprout^®.  The DVD also includes a bonus episode of the all-new Preschool TV series, Timmy Time^™ from the Academy-Award^® winning Aardman studios.

Hear an elephant trumpet and a lion roar as Barney and Riff^™ create a wild concert filled with exotic animal sounds in Barney: Musical Zoo. Join Riff as he composes for a different kind of puppet show and then BJ^™ and Baby Bop^™ get into the act, learning about rhythm and performing for others in this super-dee-duper orchestral treat that the whole family will enjoy.

Episodes:

• “Riff’s Musical Zoo” – Everyone is excited about an upcoming trip to the zoo.  When the trip is postponed, Riff gathers instruments that sound like real animals and creates a musical zoo using everyday items around the playground.
• “Special Skills” –  Barney suggests that BJ and Baby Bop put on a show so Riff can see how much fun they have at the park.  Riff is a little shy — he’s never performed in a show before.  Barney encourages Riff to participate, and Riff does what he knows best – he makes music to accompany a very special puppet show.
• “Rhythm” – Baby Bop is practicing her marching because she will be joining a real marching rhythm band and is having trouble keeping a beat.  Barney, BJ and Riff help Baby Bop learn about rhythm just in time for her to join the band.

MY THOUGHTS:

This is a cute Barney DVD with lots of music and dancing, not to mention adorable animals!  Barney and the gang use creativity and teamwork to make music and incorporate animals.  It is not a very long DVD, just over 30 minutes, 3 episodes, so it is great for a quick Barney movie!  My sons love it because they are into both music and animals right now and love the animals sounds!  Very cute DVD and great addition to any child’s DVD collection.
