Fans can celebrate the holidays this year with a collection of holiday themed shows from Nickelodeons top animated specials including Blue’s Clues and You, Baby Shark’s Big Show, PAW Patrol, Bubble Guppies, and Blaze and the Monster Machines! From saving Mayor Humdinger and helping Santa save Christmas to decorating the tree with Steve, everyone will celebrate a night full of Christmas traditions! Nick Jr.: The Night Before Christmas is now available on DVD from Paramount Home Entertainment and Nickelodeon Home Entertainment for the suggested retail price of $10.99, just in time for holiday gifting!
I received the opportunity to review the DVD and here is what I thought.
Nick Jr.: The Night Before Christmas contains five episodes from five different Nick Jr series. Fans of PAW Patrol, Baby Shark, Blaze and the Monster Machines, Bubble Guppies, and Blue’s Clues and You! will love to watch as Christmas is saved, traditions are honored, and even help some of their favorite characters decorate for Christmas. It’s almost two hours of Christmas fun!
The episodes included in the DVD are:
PAW Patrol: Pups Save a Bah Humdinger
Baby Shark’s Big Show!: All I Want for Fishmas
Blue’s Clues & You!: Blue’s Night Before Christmas
Bubble Guppies: The Guppies Save Christmas!
Blaze and the Monster Machines: Snow Day Showdown
Our favorite episodes from this collection are the first three.
My family loves PAW Patrol, so watching Ryder and the pups save Christmas after Mayor Humdinger does his dastardly deed of removing Adventure Bay from Santa’s list is a must. Honestly, if he wanted to be on the nice list, Humdinger could have simply been nice. Thankfully, Santa is able to get the right list for his deliveries and the PAW Patrol even helps him deliver to all of their friends. Even Humdinger atones for his actions. It just goes to show, it is never too late to do the right thing.
Baby Shark’s Big Show!: All I Want for Fishmas is about wanting the top toy of the season, Burpin’ Bubbz. But when Santa Jaws goes missing, the dreams of owning such a fantastic toy may sink. Baby and William set off to find Santa Jaws and save Christmas.
Blue’s Clues & You!: Blue’s Night Before Christmas we discover what Blue wants for Christmas. Her wish is shared with 3 very special clues. This episode even includes a special guest, STEVE! He wears a Santa hat and joins Josh and Blue in their Holiday fun.
This Christmas episode collection is so much fun and very festive. All the little Nick Jr fans will love it! Nick Jr.: The Night Before Christmas is well worth the purchase and fun for the whole family. One day I hope they will attach a fun little yule log featuring all the characters from their top shows doing fun little activities as the fire glows.
To celebrate the release of Nick Jr.: The Night Before Christmas, here is a wonderful Hot Chocolate Bomb recipe the entire family can enjoy while they watch the DVD. You will need
PAW Patrol has released their first full length movie on the big screen, and fans are loving it! In this next level adventure The PAW Patrol crew must leave Adventure Bay in order to save Adventure City from the notorious Mayor Humdinger, who, once again, is causing chaos wherever he goes. PAW Patrol: The Movie was released on Blu-ray & DVD November 2, PAW-fectly timed for Thanksgiving family viewing or holiday gift-giving..
PAW patrol, is a wonderful series, so when I received the opportunity to review the movie, I jumped at the chance!
PAW patrol: The Movie has everything we fans love about the series. The movie includes the pups who ride out to save their friends and neighbors from sticky situations,, the constant theme of teamwork, and we get to see a group become superheroes and save the day using vehicles and tech.
Unlike the series, PAW Patrol: The Movie is a bit more fast paced. In the series, we enjoy the thought process and the more calming effect as the pups work together to save the day in a 15-30 minute episode. The Movie takes adventure to the next level as the pups race around to save Adventure City with their new friend Liberty. This fast pace adaptation makes PAW Patrol: The Movie feel like it belongs on the big screen along with the other recent superhero movies. I believe this was done to keep the audience involved with the film. I think a slow paced hour and a half movie would have been hard for a preschooler to get through.
While the fast pace is nice and engaging, I think the movie really takes off as we learn more about our beloved characters and their past. This movie has a side focus on Chase and his life before he was found by Ryder. Chase had a tough life in the city and he was afraid to return because of his bad memories. This sub-plot leads to a wonderful lesson in empathy, that caring for our friends and recognizing their fear and pain is important. However, the lesson doesn’t end there! This plot continues as we take a journey with Chase and his ability to accept what happened, grow from it, and become stronger. Chase realizes that he was strong for getting through what he had to endure and that being a hero doesn’t mean the absence of fear, but working through it.
I have to take this moment and say, way to go Nickelodeon! So many junior shows are a quick zoom in, save, and zoom out. We hardly get to see the development and growth of characters as a hero faces unpleasant memories and pushes through them with the help of his friends and family. What is even more amazing is that Chase learns to change his outlook on his experience so that he could see just how brave he was and use the new-found strength for the tasks he is facing today. This made the movie tops on my list and I will watch it a couple zillion times.
Along with an epic movie, the Blu-Ray and Digital Copy comes with some epic Bonus features that preschoolers will love to watch such as Chase showing us the new headquarters and gadgets, watch some Adventure City news, music videos, and even a few extra episodes!
PAW PATROL: THE MOVIE Digital Bonus Content
