Bob the Builder: Building From Scratch

Love the CGI Animation!
I actually haven't watched this DVD as I have just heard it. My sons have been watching this in the car and love it. I love Bob the Builder in general though as it teaches great lessons, this DVD focuses on teamwork, responsibility, following directions and more! This DVD also includes content never before seen on TV, so that would be great for Bob fans who have thought they have seen it all! My boys don't watch Bob on TV, but they love the DVDs, probably because they love tools and trucks! This DVD is also in Full Power CGI Animation, which means it is brightly colorful animation instead of the typical claymation from old Bob! I think this DVD would be fun for old or new Bob fans.

The same applies to the beach scenes and picturesque 'Valley' (wilderness) spots. For someone completely new to the genre, this will matter little; for a longstanding fan (especially one who takes keen interest in what 'the Team' is up to these days), the changes will seem...
