3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but could've been better February 9, 2008

By J. Kirby

Format:DVD

Picked this video up at the library right after it was released. My 3-yr old was very entertained by the new Bob segments as well as the live action of the construction sites. Only downsides would be that the Bob segments are limited to Roley and a brief piece with Lofty talking with Bob. Several other members of Bob's team are in the video, but none of them talk, as if the video were made on a limited budget for royalty payments and none of the other character's voice actors were on the payroll for this one. Lots of the animated portion is just a re-hash of scenes from old Bob episodes. Also, the disk case shows a Sneak Peak teaser for some new Bob machines, but the video never plays it. The main menu has no option for it and the AutoPlay function at the start of the video, while mentioning bonus features follow the main video, never plays anything after the feature video is done. It just returns to the Main Menu again and that's it. This caused some toddler questions of "Where is the new part" repeatedly when the Sneak Peak didn't play.

Overall, it was entertaining for him, since it was different than normal with the live action interaction, but from a parents point of view, this is a low-cost filler for Bob the Builder video until new real episodes come out on DVD.
