The earth is something to celebrate as Wubbzy and his pals go green for Earth Day. They learn how sometimes great ideas for you (like building a great, new playground) can negatively impact others (the the animals that lived in the trees that had to be cut down for the new playground. Wubbzy and his friends also learn about the importance of water and how sometimes simple solutions cause more damage than good, like the bottles used for fancy drinks that cause more pollution. Kids learn about re-using and recycling through the fun, animated tales. They also get some insight into what an animal might feel like being taken out of its environment like when Wubbzy catches a flutterby. Song segments between the episodes re-emphasize the lessons with beautiful live imagery with the Wubbzy friends superimposed on top of them. The songs are catchy and will have kids singing along. While you get a strong save-the-earth message, the DVD doesn�t come off as too preachy. Laugh along with the friends as they work with interesting predicaments such as the hop-a-roos that invade the house and the monkeys wreaking havoc when the zoo friends come to visit while the zoo is getting fixed. This DVD creates an interest in the environment and promotes pro-activity and appreciation of self and others. KIDS FIRST! Child Juror Comments: I loved it. It showed what happens if you throw your trash into the outdoors. I think my friends would like it because it talks about recycling, and the more people who know about recycling the more there will be people that will recycle. My favorite part is when Wubbzy eats too many apples, and then he turned into one. It shows animals that aren�t real, and shows what would happen to them if we kept cutting down trees and stuff. The flutterfly story is sad. The pictures were good. In the wiggling song, you can see what to do. I like that. My favorite part was when Wubbzy figured out that he loved playground and he figured out that he could make playgrounds out of trees so the animals could be saved. So he did. The kids were singing and dancing along with the songs.
