Bob the Builder - Holiday Video 2003 - A Christmas to Remember

Amazon.com

Bob can't wait to see his twin brother, Tom, who's coming all the way from the Arctic Circle to visit for Christmas. As Bob's list of things to do suddenly swells to unmanageable proportions thanks to the arrival of rock band "Lennie and the Lazers" and the new mayor's very specific ideas about the town's Christmas celebration, even the ever-optimistic Bob wonders, "Can we do it?" While Bob and his crew struggle to finish the necessary preparations, lead singer Lennie develops laryngitis, John the songwriter and piano player (voiced by Elton John) struggles with writer's block, and Bob's brother Tom stops to help a little lost reindeer and misses the only available boat. Can quick thinking and cooperation make this dismal Christmas turn out merry? Features the classic Elton John hit "Crocodile Rock." (Ages 3 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi

Description

Merry Christmas from Bob the Builder! Bob's can-do crew is busy decorating for the holidays and building a concert stage for rock starts Lennie and the Lazers.

Spud is up to his usual pranks, Lennie can't sing, and Bob forgot his Santa costume. And it seems Tom won't be home after all. Much to Bob's surprise, Elton John and a mysterious Santa make it a special Christmas to remember!

Different but ok.......2007-01-09

We love Bob but this one isn't his best... Has Elton John in it which is kind of strange but whatever... Kind of boring and hard storyline for a 2 year old to follow, but in the end, a nice message of the importance of family.

Heartwarming!.......2006-11-21

My son has about 20 Christmas DVDs and this is one of our favorites!

This heartwarming story has Bob's twin brother, Tom, trying to make it home for Christmas--clear from the the Arctic Circle! Will he make it in time?

A Christmas to Remember has a heartwarming--and well crafted--plot, and features a guest appearance by Elton John!

I admit--I tear up when I see the baby videos showing Tom and Bob playing as kids...as well as Bob's disappointment when he hears that Tom missed his boat. It's a very heartwarming tale with some very funny moments!

Of course, Wendy, Spud, and the rest of the can-do crew make appearances in this story--as do "Lennie and the Lazers"!

At around 50 minutes, this engaging DVD will delight fans of Bob the Builder, as well as small children. And, it's a DVD that a parent can sit through comfortably without being bored to death or driven insane by mindless drivel or grating singing--which is a great plus!

My 5 year old watches this tape over and over. He especially likes Elton John's song. When it comes on the radio, he says that's the "Bob the builder christmas song".

We can build it...every night!.......2005-08-17

My three-year-old son has loved this movie more than any other Bob the Builder video for more than a year. He cannot take his eyes off of it-and it's a fairly long show. Luckily, it's entertaining enough for the whole family to watch with interest. We highly recommend this for Bob enthusiasts and first-timers.

Very entertaining!.......2004-02-04

My 2 1/2 year-old son received this dvd as a Christmas gift and LOVES it! It's now February and he still asks to watch it frequently. It is well-produced and entertaining so we don't mind watching it as well.

Yes, it is longer (obviously) and more complex than the Bob TV series, and some children may get bored with it. And Elton John fans, be warned, his character does not have a very big role.
