Bob builds, teaches, and saves the planet.......2007-02-01

Not being a regular watcher/fan of Bob the Builder movies, I was not aware of the changed character voices. I first viewed the movie with my five-year-old nephew who is a Bob fan, and he did not notice the differences. We both enjoyed the movie and the lesson. It is a great first learning tool for children to understand about the environment and how they too are able to contribute to the preservation. I have since shown the movie to a group of 3-7 year olds in the community to teach about recycling. The showing was well attended and received. Each child walked away reciting the movie's mantra "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle." I recommend the whole family watching this film together. The teenagers might role their eyes at some of the antics, but they too will find themselves remembering the 3 Rs. I apologize in advance for you not being able to sleep due to Lofty, Scoop, and the Gang's chants of "Yes, We Can!"

Sends excellent message to children.......2005-10-13

At first the new voice was "weird" but my almost 4 year old son did not skip a beat! He LOVES the new characters Benny and Scrambler. He never mentioned the new voices. I have read some of the other reviews and say so what if Bob now sends the message to Renue, Reuse and Recycle...my son thinks it is cool. Is there anything wrong with teaching a little conservation? I also like that Lofty now says I think so in a more up beat way....overall I think the characters are more up beat and Bob does not make fun of his father anymore...he actually shows more respect for the way or the reason his father is doing things unlike in previouse shows where he got VERY impatient with his Dad. My son loves to watch the progress of Bob building in Sunflower Valley and loves Farmer Pickles new straw house.
If your child is a Bob the builder fan he will LOVE this new DVD and the new show over all.

Whose Bob is it anyway?.......2005-10-09

Alright, perhaps I am an overly protective mother, but when I heard there would be a new Bob movie I became both excited and cautious.

Bob the Builder was originally a British construct, from my information. My cousin in London sent me a CD of some great modern pop songs addapted to the theme. My fav? Mambo number 5...

Having seen only the first episode of the new series (and not as yet the movie) I squinted at the screen (having forgotten my glasses in the shower) in utter frustration trying to place 'that' voice. My four year old son had fallen back to sleep, only to stir at my yell across the house to my husband, "Hey, it's that guy from Who's line".

To either my utter joy or shame, Whose Line is it Anyway happens to be one of my son's favorite shows. Next time you're stuck in line at the post office try playing 'Props' with the express envelopes. My son has yet to notice, still sleeping as he is, but he is sure to and it'll either be the coolest thing ever or a 'Mommie, why does Bob sound more like Wendy" moment. Either way, we'll weather the storm...much like when Joe started house sitting Blue when Steve went off to College. But at least that transition episode we didn't have to pay for. And does anybody know what happend to Steve Burns anyway?

Too much change in new series!.......2005-09-18

We just could not get over the drastic changes in the voices. Bob, Spud, Lofty, & Mr. Bentley all had different voices than the original series and movies. Bob & Spud were especially difficult to listen to. This movie did not hold my children's attention the way the other Bob the Builder movies have. I'm sure it's because of the voices. The environmental message was a bit overdone, but we could even tolerate that if the voices weren't so different! I would NOT rebuy this movie knowing what I know now. We should have borrowed it from the library instead.

Bob Can Do it! .......2005-09-14

I and my family love Bob we realise that as he gets older he changes just like the children who watch him. The change in character voice was noticed but nobody cared, we still loved it. However, the subject matter - AWSOME. Finally, an enjoyable project of some real building (rather than filling a hole in the road or putting a new roof on a barn), this time it's a new town.

This grand scheme of things is made truly essential viewing, by it's environmental soundness. It seems to me that since we adults are a lost cause (the phrase, "I'll be dead before anything happens so why should I worry," springs to mind). This project sets a standard of living we should all be aspiring to. It's a sound, funny, educational and dare I say it "thought provoking" chapter for Bob. He's always been a fine bloke but now he's really proved he cares about the future and using his what he does best (Building!!) to do a great job.

A word of warning, if your household lives like there is no tomorrow (i.e. wasting energy and materials) obviously for a number good reasons...... Allowing your kids to watch this could result in some very embarrassing questions. We're in the process of getting a solar panel and went for a picnic to a wind farm.
