Bob the Builder: On-Site - Roads and Bridges Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Bob the Builder: On Site - Skyscrapers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The On Site series is my absolute favorite type of Bob the Builder episode. Viewers are made to feel like they are part of an actual construction crew - watching workers build and getting a sneak peek inside the job site. Interspersed with the usual animation, this is a great video for kids of all ages. The dual imagery makes these videos equally educational and fascinating.
We learn about the construction process on two types of buildings: a skyscraper and a parking garage. Bob starts right at the beginning by drafting the blueprints and laying the foundation, then onto finishing the top-most floor and installing the elevator system. We see the contractor's view on each step of the huge process that becomes a skyscraper.
As an added bonus, there is footage of children building their own construction projects from cardboard boxes and craft supplies. What a great (not to mention cheap) project to try with your own children after the video! They can combine their imaginations with what they learned from Bob and his crew and to create their own unique buildings.
Skyscrapers breaks down the building process into engaging, easy-to-follow stages, incorporating Bob the Builder's delightful animation and charming characters, along with live action construction site footage. The sky has no limit in this latest title from everyone's favorite builder!
