The circus is coming to town, and when Barney and his friends learn that Emily has never seen a circus and won't be able to attend, they put one on especially for her. After some research at the local library, Barney and his five friends spread out their parachute and use their imagination to magically transform it into a big-top tent complete with live audience. Barney presides as ringmaster, and his circus features a kids' marching band, a car full of clowns, a lion tamer act, Leonard the tap-dancing duck, and much more. Baby Bop, Barney's human friends, a few circus jugglers and clowns, and Scooter the squirrel figure prominently throughout the show. Just wait until you see BJ the Magnificent's big, big act--if his surprise ever arrives, that is. There's lots of spirited singing, including "Yankee Doodle," "I'm Brushing My Teeth," "When the Circus Comes to Town," and "Boom, Boom, Ain't It Nice to Be Crazy." Concepts stressed include cooperation, how work yields big fun, the importance of exercise and good dental hygiene, and the idea that any day can be special if you share it with friends. Barney is an all-time favorite of most kids ages 1 to 6, and this 50-minute video certainly won't disappoint them. --Tami Horiuchi

very entertaining.......2006-08-28

my three year old daughter loves this DVD. it is extremely entertainig and keeps her glued to the TV. she especially likes the music. the songs are new and different.she just cant get enough of it. my two year old loves it as well.

Good color, lots of talk.......2005-02-19

This was just OK for us. There was a lot of talking and it lost the interest of my 18 month old. It starts out in the treehouse and then moves to the imaginary circus (that is where it gets better) but even that did not hold his attention because of the long spaces between songs. The saving grace of the DVD is that there is a menu option for 'sing along' and it just plays all the songs back to back. If you want less talking try Colorful World Live show. Our favorite by far!

Barney Super Singing Circus in Spanish.......2002-10-31

I got this for my daughter in Spanish and she loves it. I was kind of doubtfull at first thinking that she might not like that Barney spoke with a different voice but the songs are great and it's full of non-stop dancing. Even though she already has it in Spanish I would buy it again in English if she wanted. Not as annoying as the regular TV episodes.

The worst, unentertaining show we have ever seen.......2002-10-14

Kids and Barney talk most of the time.
Sing the same old songs they do in other shows.

They take more time to show the preparation for the show then the actual show (circus). Then, when they finally show you the circus, it is plain boring to watch. They sing, primarily, their old songs and dress in costumes. That is it!
It is not funny or entertaining, I had to fast forward through it most of the time.

I cannot understand how other people had rated it with more than 1 star?? Must be the promoters.
