Very Entertaining!
I bought this DVD for my 9-month old son. He absolutely loves the Surfs Up episode. I love it just as much if not more! The songs are very catchy and I find myself singing the music even when he is not around. The Backyardigan DVDs are very entertaining.

Great fun!!
The Backyardigans did it again. Themes of working together, using your imagination and singing throughout the adventure. I swear my daughter is singing twice as much now.

Surfing For Some Fun In The Backyard
The Backyardigans have taken it to the waves, for an excellent surfer adventure. In the midsts of finding the ideal surfing spot, a mysterious fellow is seen throughout, leading to an area where only the best surfers may go!
The amazing computer affects, add to the realness of a tropical oceanfront. The wet suits, Pablo's Tiki necklace, and cool red car come across as authentic, as you can get. This is not always the case, with kids programing.
The synchronization of singing numbers, couldn't be better. I recently learned, the creators have professional dancers, and choreographers come in to get it, just, right!

My kids (and I) LOVE this DVD!
The Backyardigans are a huge hit in my home. Both my daughters LOVE them and this DVD happens to be one of their favorites. Especially the last episode. They could watch it over and over and over. A great buy.

I own all of them
My son loves the Backyardigan's. I was DVRing them, but he wanted to watch them on trips and in his bedroom. So I bought the whole set (10 DVDs). The characters speak clearly, using proper english. I think that sets a good example. The singing and dancing are high quality. The songs themselves can be a little inane, but it is a childrens show after all.

great music and plenty more stories than what is listed on the DVD
The music in this is very easy to listen to and the kids absolutely love the backyardigans. Am planning to buy some music cd's from this selection too. Found the prices quite reasonable.

Thoroughly enjoyable
This was the first Backyardigans DVD I ever purchased. Before buying and watching this, I had heard of the Backyardigans, and they had been recommended, but as we usually have the very basic of cable, we never ran across an episode on TV.
Upon the very first viewing of "Surf's Up!" we fell in love. Heck, even the opening credits and theme song are wonderful! The characters are all adorable, and I like most the fact that unlike many shows for "children," this actually IS appropriate and pleasant.
I have watched it several times by myself, and felt no guilt in doing so. And my toddler loves every episode. The DVD itself is high-quality, and if it will work in my super-sensitive DVD player, it will work ANYWHERE!
The episodes and themes:
"Surf's Up!" - Afro-beat
"Riding the Range" - Hip-hop (and the last song is a reworked rendition of "Buffalo Gals")
"Race to the Tower of Power" - Latin Salsa (the second song is to the tune of "Three Blind Mice")
"The Quest for the Flying Rock" - Disco (The very first song is to the tune of "Hail, Hail The Gang's All Here") Also, you cannot watch the dancing in this episode and NOT love it!
Highly recommended, and perhaps the best DVD than we have seen so far.

The Backyardigans-very cute!
I got this DVD for my two year old son. He occassionally watches the cartoon on TV but Spongebob is his thing. I was hoping he would get interested in something different. He's watched it through a few times and seems happy with it and it's a welcome relief for me to watch/listen to anything else. I recommend The Backyardigans to anyone with very young children. The color catches their attention. There is also singing and the concepts of the stories are simple to understand. I just wish the DVD was longer. It has only four different episodes on it and runs for only an hour. It's still great for the kids though!
