Halloween is over and the season for being thankful and giving has begun! Nickelodeon is starting it off right with the release of their fun collection Nick Jr. Holiday Bonanza (affiliate link), now on DVD! This collection will feature holiday-themed episodes from Blue’s Clues & You! Blaze and the Monster Machines, Bubble Guppies, PAW Patrol®, and Baby Shark’s Big Show!

I got the chance to review the DVD and here is what I thought.

Most who seek this collection out already know the awesomeness that is Nick Jr. Their shows are amazing for the preschool audience and even adults find some of them fascinating to watch. This collection is no different. All that the fans have come to love, they will find in this holiday themed collection. The episodes include:

• Blue’s Clues & You! – A Blue’s Clues Festival of Lights!
• Blaze – A Blazing Amazing Christmas
• Bubble Guppies – Christmas is Coming!
• PAW Patrol – Snowbound Cow
• PAW Patrol – Pups Save the Marooned Mayors
• Baby Shark’s Big Show! – Snowball Bonanza

What I find excellent about this collection is that it introduces the audience to different holidays. In Blue’s Clues and You! we get to celebrate Hanukkah, the festival of lights. Going in a different direction, Blaze and his friends help Santa in Blaze and the Monster Machines. We even enjoy a Christmas Party in PAW Patrol. What a great start to the holidays!

I have to admit, my favorite episode is PAW Patrol: Snowbound Cow. I didn’t know I needed to see a cow on a sled, but apparently, I did. We also get to see Everest and her snowplow in this episode, and she is one of my favorite characters.

The Surfs are back and this time they share the screen with more than one girl Smurf! Continuing the story after the movie Smurfs: The Lost Village, The Smurfs series shares the dynamics of Smurf Village when male and female Smurfs collide in their Smurfy world. Of course there are complications, especially with Gargamel and his feline friend Azrael running around. The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 2 is now available on DVD from Paramount Home Entertainment and Nickelodeon Home Entertainment for $10.99. Purchase from Amazon.com (Affiliate Link) and get it for the holidays.

I received the chance to review this collection and here are my thoughts.

Like The Smurfs Season 1 Volume 1 DVD, Volume 2 isn’t much different art wise. Their clothes have texture, the trees have depth, and the colors are vibrant. All of these features make Volume 2 a joy to watch. Of course, all the amazing graphics don’t mean much if we don’t have a good story.

The Surfs Season 1 Volume 1 comes with 9 episodes on one DVD. The episodes are:

• The Pluffs!
• The Majestic 5/Kitchen Klutz
• Chef Soup/Adventures in Smurfsitting
• The Round Up/Waffle Wednesday
• Funny Mommy/Smurfy Day Care
• Smurfy Secrets
• Crashing Gargamel’s Party/The Curse of the Smurfs’ Treasure
• Storm Loses her Mojo/Pop Out
• Knight Smurfalot/Forget Me What?

These episodes are a blast to watch! We have weird curse treasure in The Curse of the Smurfs’ Treasure, fun knight quests in Knight Smurfalot, and even alternate universes in The Pluffs! I have to admit The Pluffs is probably one of my favorite episodic episodes. The Pluffs is a two part story about how Brainy and Blossom enter an alternate universe where the Smurfs (Pluffs) are gray and mean and Gargamel, known as Caramel, is nice. Everything is a little topsy turvey as Brainy and Blossom attempt to find their way home. It is fun to see the backwards world and get to know the crazy Pluffs. It reminds me of the Star Trek episodes where Kirk ends up in an alternate universe and everyone is opposite of what they are in his universe.

That isn’t the only time we get something geeky from other pop culture films. In The Curse of the Smurfs’ Treasure, Vanity calls the treasure “My Precious” like Gollum did from Lord of the Rings. I spit my coffee a little when I heard him say that. I know there has to be other pop culture Easter eggs throughout all of the other episodes. If you find some feel free to share them in the comments below.

Because of the graphics, the stories, and the fun pop culture reference, I have to give this Volume 5 stars. It is a fantastic collection of episodes!

• Rainbow Puppy’s Skidoo Adventure!
• The Treasure of Clue Lagoon
• Little Rainbow Riding Hood
• The Amazing Joshini

My family loves the Rainbow Puppy and getting this DVD to review has been fantastic, even if it is watched a couple zillion times. Obviously, very well loved.

Like all of the Blue’s Clues and You! episodes before, these four episodes feature Josh and Blue as they look for Clues to solve some fun mysteries. Add the Rainbow Puppy and things go from blue to multi-colorful. It also gets way more fun! In Rainbow Puppy’s Skidoo Adventure! we enter so many different worlds in one episode as we look for Rainbow Clues to figure out where Rainbow Puppy wants to go. We get to see Chalkworld, the Ocean, the Theater, the farm, Rainbow World, and more!

The Rainbow Puppy adventures don’t end there! In The Treasure of Clue Lagoon, Rainbow Puppy needs help finding the Clue Lagoon treasure. This quest takes the audience on a clue search to find the amazing treasure. Of course, the audience gets to travel with Josh and Blue as they Skidoo to Clue Lagoon.

The audience also gets to help Rainbow Puppy with her theater in Little Rainbow Riding Hood and see the great Joshini in The Amazing Joshini.. There are so many colors and so much fun that all these episodes are eye catching and entertaining, especially when the Rainbow Puppy comes to play.

This collection of episodes stays true to the Blue’s Clues and You! theme of helping each other, discovering the world around you, and learning new things. The Rainbow Puppy certainly adds to that fun with an energetic puppy smile and new ideas to discover. This collection of episodes also includes many of the worlds Josh and Blue have discovered through their Skidoo adventures, which was awesome to see. It is a great collection to have and I give it 5 stars!

Join Blaze and the Monster Machines in all new adventures in Axle city in Blaze And The Monster Machines: Big Rig To The Rescue. We get to follow Blaze in 4 episodes as he and his friends do their part to keep their town safe by cleaning after a big windstorm, rescuing their friends from a slime volcano, and helping a dolphin reunite with his family. This DVD will be released October 4 , 2022, for the suggested retail price of $10.99.

Big Rig to the Rescue features four episodes of Blaze transforming into a big simi-truck to help save the day. From rescuing party supplies to getting a dolphin named flippy home, no job is to big for Blaze. The four episodes are:

• Big Rig to the Rescue!
• Big Rig Blaze
• Big Rig: Dolphin Delivery
• The Big. Balloon Rescue

The series Blaze and the Monster Machines is an interactive series for preschoolers. It will stop in the middle of a mission and ask for tips, shapes and other items kids will love to pick and shout. Each episode features a different problem to solve as the audience learns about teamwork and helping others. This series is no different as Blaze goes forth to rescue his friends. It is a fun show with learning, discovery, and entertainment. I have always like the series.

In this collection of episodes, Blaze has a few missions that will require him in a big rig. My favorite one has to be Big Rig Blaze. Blaze gets a call from Stripes, who’s party was just destroyed by the wind. To save the day, Blaze goes in search of all the items that were lost. Somehow they travel far, a cotton candy machine ends up on a pier and the prizes end up in snowballs. However, Blaze will do what it takes to help get this party back in action and accept help from the audience.

Just like all of the Blaze and the Monster Machine episodes, these do not disappoint and lead to an interactive good time. I give the DVD five stars

Preschoolers will fall in love with the Seaweed Sway, taught to them by Baby Shark, William, and Cardi B voicing Sharki B. While the younger audience may not know who Cardi B is, I am sure the parents watching will get a kick out of the Rapper voicing a shark in a children’s TV series. I know I found it hilarious.
