"The robot repairman episode is the new favorite in our house. Great music, and definitely a fun movie for my kids (1 and 3). My son (3) asks to watch it every morning. The other two episodes on this disc are not that great, which is the reason for my 4-star review. Both episodes only have Tyrone, Pablo and Uniqua (missing Austin and Tasha) and they seem to fall flat. Overall though, definitely a good buy for Backyardigans fans!
**Robot Repairman: Austin is a robot repairman in Mega City. Together with Uniqua, Tasha and Tyrone, he must figure out why all the robots are suddenly malfunctioning. Set to disco music!
** Catch that Train: Uniqua is a train conductor moving the Czar to his winter home. She and Pablo must catch the runaway train before it's too late.
** 50 Foot Worman: Pablo and Uniqua are scientists at a university. Uniqua is studying wormen, and Pablo is working on a growth formula. When the two mix, they team up with Tyrone to shrink the worman."

"The shows are fine, what isn't OK is the media errors on the disks. The copy protection makes it unable to be played on a PC and causes errors in playback on my DVD player. Its a pitty since the episodes seem cute."
My 2 year old loves Backyardigans

"While the plot & episodes are wonderful, the DVD menu structure is wholly inadequate.
It takes 4 minutes messing with the remote in order to get to the play menu.
A 2 year old doesn't have this long."
Another Awesome DVD

"A hit with the kids (3 and 5). The songs on Robot Rampage are great, particularly Evil Pablo's "I get what I want." And the kids love the fact that Pablo says "I'm pooped" throughout "Catch That Train." Another great collection of episodes from The Backyardigans! Episodes: Robot Rampage (Robot Repairman), Catch That Train, Attack of the 50 Ft Worman."
Backyardigans never dissapoint!

"We love Backyardigans in our family. And, since my 2 y.o. son is very much "into robots" right now, we had to have this one. There are 3 episodes: "Robot Repairman" (double length), "Catch That Train", and "Attack of a 50ft Worman". Although, none of them are my favorite Backyardigans episodes, they are pretty good. The music is entertaining, there is a lot of dancing and singing. But, most importantly, my son seems to like them a lot. The second episode takes place in Russia. For me, being Russian myself, it was pretty neat. =)"
