Good movie
Encourages brushing your teeth before bed. Seemed kinda short compared to other Blues movies. It teaches coordination with rythme. I like this movie for my daughter and she enjoys it also. She is 18 months.

Lauren loves Blues Clues
We gave this DVD to my Granddaughter for Easter and she just loves it. She is learning a lot from Blues Clues, both DVD's and TV shows.

a cute show
i love that it teaches about music. i wish it had more school-oriented ideas, though. Joe doesnt do it for me like Steve did, but what the hey, my son likes him.

My daughter loves this stuff
Blue's Clues is one of those odd shows that just transfixes kids. Especially mine. She loves Steve and Joe and loves music so I ordered this for her and I was not disappointed. She really digs it!

Loves all Blue's
All Blue's are great...well at least my 2 yeard old thinks so. Although not his favorite but still it will keep his attention.

2-year-old LOVES it!
This DVD was our first exposure to Blue's Clues & our 2-year-old son LOVES it!! He keeps asking for "blue" ever since we got it in the mail a few days ago. :) If you go to the bonus material, there are 2 extra episodes (for a total of 4 on the DVD) -- these 2 are with Steve.

Blue's Big Band
This a cute fun video and one of my favorite blues clues videos. I'm a home daycare provider. Over the yrs I have collected over 100 kids videos. Blue's Big Band seems to entertain my daycare kids ages 14 months to 5 yrs greatly. I also enjoy singing along to the tunes.
The first show of the video is about music which is great. The 2nd show is about bed time routines. Both are great.

A Toddler And His Dad Recommend "Blue's Clues"
Fun and creative, "Blue's Clues" is my 2-year-old son's favorite "TV on DVD" show. In the words of its creators, it is a "story-based game show for kids."
The series creates a simplified universe featuring a boyish-looking host (Steve, later Joe), his yapping puppy Blue, and their animated friends. The centerpiece of "Blue's Clues" is a well-defined, open-ended structure (three clues, notebook, mailtime, thinking chair, recurring songs) where new themes are explored within an established framework.
The featurette "Backstage With Blue's Clues" on the "Blue's Big Musical Movie" DVD explains how a staff of 80 brought episodes of the show to life, with audiences of preschoolers vetting a typical episode at various stages of development. Each facet of the show is clearly thought through from multiple perspectives, including child development, child psychology, and sheer entertainment value.
"Blue's Big Band" is the best disc in the series. Four thumbs up (from toddler and Dad)! The great episode entitled "Bedtime Business" is the best overall episode in the entire series in our opinion.
In general, all "Blue's Clues" DVDs provide around 100 minutes of content, much more than the typical 35 or 45 minutes on other children's DVDs.
"Blue's Clues" knows how to have fun without taking itself too seriously, without indulging in tired cliches, and without grating on adult viewers (how often do you run across a character named "Sidetable Drawer"?). This is an intelligent show that often "winks" at adult viewers. On repeat viewings, look for subtle changes in the "12" on Tickety's clock face, in the stamp on the envelope during the "We Just Got A Letter" sequence, and in the framed pictures on the wall of the house.
Newcomers to "Blue's Clues" should know that the series began with "Steve" as its host for about 100 episodes, then "Steve" went off to college and "Joe" became the new host. This change was apparently difficult for some young fans of the show to accept when they were watching it on TV. However, when introduced to the series (as we were) on DVD, it just seems like "Blue's Clues" has two different hosts. This impression is reinforced by the way the DVDs are set up - there are generally two "Joe" and two "Steve" episodes on each disc.
With all Blue's Clues DVDs, "Play All" option only plays the 2 episodes with Joe. Go to "Bonus Episodes" on "Episode Selection" menu to get 2 more full shows with Steve.
"Blue's Clues" DVDs - together with a "tablet-style" DVD player that attaches to the passenger-seat headrest in the car - completely transformed the backseat car-riding experience. Now my toddler looks forward to spending time in the car - it's a mobile screening room.
Note of caution: "Blue's Clues" is NOT the same as "Blue's Room." The latter series features Blue as a talking dog puppet and is completely different - father and son cannot recommend "Blue's Room."

Great Episodes Lousy DVD Setup
We loved the new music epsiodes w/ Joe and it was great to finally have the ones W/ Steve on dvd instead of vhs. I just wish Nick Jr would realize that more and more parents are driving long distances with their kids and using dvd's in their vehicles. This one has 4 epsiodes total but 2 are "bonus" ones hidden in special features. It will play the two Joe from the main menu only and you can't set them to repeat. We LOVE repeat and just close up the screen until our kids are ready to view them again so we don't have to pull over and fiddle w/ the menu screens. If you go to the bonus episodes, it'll only play one at a time. They really don't make good use of the potential of a dvd. This is one that will stay in the house. What a shame for such great epsiodes!
