Rubbadubbers - Here Come the Rubbadubbers

Amazon.com

If bathtub toys could talk, they might resemble the animated objects called Rubbadubbers starring in this debut video, based on the Nick Jr. children's series. Five simple tales make up this 45-minute collection featuring a wind-up shark, a soapy crocodile, and a small cadre of whimsical characters who love bubbles, bath water, and imaginative play. In one episode, Tubb learns a lesson about teamwork on a runaway train. In another story, Sploshy dreams of performing tricks like Winona the whale, until she discovers that sponges are uniquely talented too. And every child can relate to Finbar, who just wants a little respect but gets carried away with being a "scary shark." The stories explore common preschool predicaments--such as sharing, fears, and loneliness--and find solutions through the amusing antics of a group of odd ball friends. More endearing than Teletubbies, this British show has the potential to create quite a splash in small-tyke entertainment. (Ages 2 to 5) --Lynn Gibson

Love the Down Under voices! Swiming!.......2005-04-26

Bring on the Rubbadubbers and their OZ accents! I love the frog who exclaims "Swim-ming!" when he gets excited. Finbar the shark is funny and they all beat Dragon Tales by a mile! I don't mind listening to these voices over and over and over again, which is what happens when you have a preschooler in the house. I am so tired of Elmo's baby talk and Ord's dopey whine, I had almost given up on kid videos. maybe grown ups think they aren't complicated enough, but I found them far more stimulating than the stuff we're getting on PBS Kids!

Cute and worthwhile show for Preschoolers.......2005-04-12

We rented this from the video store and my 5 year-old son
liked the cute, pretend adventures of the bath toys using their imagination. Each of the 5 short episodes teaches a nice moral tale. Not very clever, but cheerful and friendly.

boring as can be.......2005-01-06

the rubbadubbers has a great opening sequence. when we saw it on a bob-the-builder dvd, kid wanted to see it again and again.

unfortunately, the opening sequence is the only part of this that is even remotely entertaining. the rest is just a series of boring stories, all with the same moral: it's more fun to share.

here's my moral: it's more fun to watch a series with songs and/or fun characters. this has neither. try something else.

Excellent new preschooler show!.......2004-02-28

The editorial for this DVD is right on, so I'll pass on repeating that info. This DVD is truely eye candy for young and old. The animation is really cool and dramaticallly different from most other cartoons. Think super realistic, 3-D; a bit similar to clay animation, but much more realistic. Water, bubble, and spash scenes are particularly plentiful and fun to watch. There is always a good learning lesson in the video which is very pertinent to preschoolers needs. The extras on the DVD are two games; several "fill-in the puzzle piece" picture games and a classic matching game. There is also character bios, an extensive narrated "trailer" with many video clips titled Rubbadubbers-Beyond The Bath, an extensive narrated photo gallery, and 3 bonus mini adventure clips. I have boys aged 3 & 4 who really enjoy this new series. All in all I think this show is quite worthy and very entertaining. I think the DVD is well worth getting. My children particularly enjoy playing the games.
