The Backyardigans is an animated Nickelodeon program aimed at toddlers that features a cast of lovable preschool-age animals with a passion for imagination and backyard adventure. Singing Sensation is a selection of 20 music videos compiled from the first three seasons of the show. The music videos range in style from rock to reggae, jazz, country western, Broadway, hip-hop, and folk and are arranged into four general categories dubbed "Ahoy, Mateys," "Brave, Strong, and Full of Song," "Out of This World," and "Cowboys, Yetis, and Spies!" Each category features several musical adventures that include onscreen lyrics and fully animated action from the original program. Children ages 1 to 6 who already love Backyardigans songs will revel in the chance to listen, watch, and sing along to 36 minutes of favorites like "A Pirate Says ARRRR," "Ya Gotta Have Pirattitude," "Everything Is Filthy in Filthingham," "Intergalactic Garbage Trek," and "International Super Spy." Be forewarned, there are no new episodes of The Backyardigans on this DVD; it is simply a compilation of songs from previous episodes. --Tami Horiuchi

Collection of Backyardigans Songs Assembled on DVD
"The Backyardigans: Singing Sensation!" may appeal to some fans who like the show's music, but in the way of Nickelodeon DVD releases, it is nothing special. All this is, really, is a collection of approximately 20 songs from the series put together on a DVD with lyrics displayed on-screen (there is no way to turn these lyrics off.) There are some good songs on this collection, such as "A Pirate Says ARRRR," "Not An Egg Anymore" and "Go, Go, Go." However, given the vast amount of material this series has produced, there is a very good chance that your or kid's favorite song or songs might not be included on this DVD (personally, I think that songs such as the "Flying Rock Song," "Nobody's Bigger Than a Giant" and "W-IOWA" all would have been worthy of inclusion.) The songs are roughly divided into themes - such as sea songs and outer space songs.


Here is a list of the songs included-- "A Pirate Says ARRR," "Save the Day," "Sinbad the Sailor," "Ya Gotta Have Pirattitude," "Viking Song," "A Message, A Message," "On Top of the World," "We're Knights, That's Right!," "Not An Egg Anymore," "Everything is Filthy in Filthingham," "Ready for Anything," "Bad Bots," "Can't Stop the Cops," "Intergalactic Garbage Trek," "Front Page News," "Going to Mars," "Riding the Range," "Go, Go, Go," "The Yeti Stomp," "International Super Sky," and "The Lady in Pink."


Nice try, Nickelodeon, but this feels like a cheaply produced effort designed to try to lure "Backyardigans" fans. I rate it three to three-and-a-half stars for the quality of the source material only.



Closed-Captioning / Subtitles: None (There is no captioning or subtitles for the parts where the characters speak, only the on-screen lyrics.)
Special Features: None, other than promos for other Nickelodeon (formerly branded Nick Jr.) shows and, curiously, for PBSKids's "Super WHY!"
Length: Approximately 36 Minutes
Cost: Too much (but I checked it from the library, so no worries.)

CDs a better buy, this is a copout!
I knew what this dvd was before we bought it. The problem is when you have a child that watches for new Backyardigans dvds at the store and sees it, you can't explain it is not new episodes.
This is just a clip show with lyrics on the screen (which if you are like our family, we already have all these scenes on all the dvds, and all the songs on CD).
To price it the same as another of the DVDs is robbery. You get 36 minutes of songs you probably already have, with words kids probably can't read and don't care about. It isn't a very nice thing to do to customers who loyally purchase every product that comes out.
Try to avoid the movie aisle at all costs! If they see it, you are in for it.

The best dvd I bought all year
My 2 year old loves this DVD so much its nuts! She wakes up in the morning ans asks for "pink?" which is what she calls the movie due to her favorite song "Lady in Pink". Any time I have to leave her with relatives this movie goes along with her in her bag. Others complain that its just a bunch of songs on a disk, but thats EXACTLY what I wanted. Cannot figure out why someone would buy it if they wanted a movie or episode.


This item is exactly as described, and if your tot love sthe Backyardigans music they will love this dvd!
