Bear in the Big Blue House:Dance Part

Rating:
Summary: Dance your heart out with Bear and his friends!
Review: My son is 11 months old and we started out watching Bear because it gave me 20 minutes of "get-ready" time in the morning. Now Bear is his FAVORITE of all the Playhouse Disney shows. He could care less about Pooh or Jo-Jo, etc.

This DVD gives 3 episodes where dancing is the key! The first episode is about each character playing an instrument (spoons, kazoo, rain-stick, pots & pans) and being a part of an orchestra.

The second episode is about a day that is supposed to be a restfull one in the house, but Treelo wants to dance! He gets everyone into the mood and they dance all day! (They are visited near the end of the show by Tutter's Grandma Flutter).

In the third episode Bear wakes up with the CHA-CHA-CHA song in his head but he can't remember all of the rhythm! OH NO! Throughout the show each character takes a chance at helping him but in the end it's Shadow and Tutter who help Bear find his rhythm.

And if you've never watched Bear before, don't listen to the hype about Shadow...she's just the "shadow" of a classic muppet girl on the wall who sings and jokes with Bear. She offers a story-in-song within each episode which is actually a Nursery Rhyme. Yes, it is black and white and the objects are paper cut-outs...but it's only about a minute and a half of the entire show and my kid loves it anyway. It's a drastic contrast from the bright colors and that really gets his attention. I think Disney did great finding this Bear and his home!! Good luck!
