Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! A Tale of Tails



Wubbzy is an infectiously lovable cartoon character with a kooky crooked tail that lives in a CGI world of unusual looking animal characters, pink and purple trees, and buildings with zig-zaggy walls. An impulsive young creature, Wubbzy greets each day with enthusiasm and a healthy dose of curiosity and is always on the lookout for a fun new experience. When trouble arises, Wubbzy counts on his good friends Widgit, a lover of machines and master inventor, and Walden, a science whiz, to help him creatively solve even the most difficult problem. In these eight humor-filled episodes, Wubbzy and his friends engage in everything from trying to straighten out Wubbzy's crooked tail to building the fastest road racer ever, stopping a volcano from erupting, and caring for a pet fleegle. While things rarely work out like the three friends plan, they always manage to have loads of fun while discovering the value of things like friendship, liking oneself, helping others, truthfulness, self-restraint, and taking responsibility for one's actions. A Nick Jr. program with huge appeal to preschoolers and their parents, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! promises to rival the popularity of Blues Clues and Dora the Explorer. (Ages 3 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi

My 2 year old son loves Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! and this DVD is just perfect for him. Also, the price on Amazon was unbeatable.

Wubbzy lives in a delightful world of color, and uniquely shaped characters set him a part from the wave of CGI animation. He can easily appeal to all age groups. A sensible, non preachy message is mixed within the commotion of story lines!
Action often comes from the crazy Rabbit, Widget. As mechanical engineer Widget is constantly creating. His creations 3,000 all have their kinks, which Buddies Wubbzy, and scientific Pal Walden try to get on the right path. Leading to multiple kooky adventures.
Pros:
Lots of extras:
*DVD ROM Toss Game, Printable Features like coloring and party invites, Stickers to stick inside open DVD Case, Coupons off Chuckie Cheese Restaurant, and other kid and parent approved places, and services.
*Eight fun filled episodes.
* Silly, yet educational music video, encouraging children to respect other's personal belongings. Another suggests kids should be themselves, with one of the episodes going further into depth with this topic.
*Navigate easily with menus.
* Few movie previews
Cons:
*Theme music and show intro repeats, with each episode....
* As with many cartoons there comes repetitiveness. One of two exist here, an orange character has resemblance to Wubzy. His/her walks/ runs/ enters in the heat of suspense. "Kooky", is all the creature will say.
Widget's inventions are a huge aspect of the show's hysteria! Both a plus, and minus, depending how you look at it!

What can I say? My 3-year-old loves this awful bouncing square creature. Now we have a DVD and can watch it ALL THE TIME. At least we got a great price- lol.

Review by Biblioholic Beth from Portland, Oregon USA:

Our almost-2-year-old daughter is absolutely fascinated with Wubbzy. In fact, we use the DVR to tape new shows on a regular basis. Having the DVD is nice, but not a deal-breaker for us, because the shows are all the same shows we've seen repeatedly on Noggin. The only really good thing about the DVD is that we can take it on car trips (we break out the DVD player as a last-resort when said daughter is on the verge of a meltdown).

If you don't have the opportunity to watch Wubbzy on a regular basis, then it's a great DVD to have. Otherwise, there really is very little point to owning it. I'm hoping that we can get others soon that might have a few new episodes!

Review by Lynn Benson from Hell, UT USA:

My 2 year old LOVES Wubbzy. (and Widget, and Walden...) Nothing like that kooky, bendy, silly tail Wubbzy has. We've seen this episode before, and my daughter just stands in front of the tv. It's an adorable show geared specifically for preschoolers. It's likely a good watch for even younger kids who already watch tv, just for the visuals of the characters and the songs they sing.
