Join Barney and the gang on a never-televised journey into the fascinating world of transportation. When Robert bends a wheel cleaning his grandfather's old bike, Barney suggests the kids visit with his friend Pop Wheelie. Pop absolutely loves wheels and anything that has to do with transportation--and he just happens to run a wheel factory colorful enough to be reminiscent of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. As Pop's magical machine cranks out a new wheel for Robert's bike, Pop lets Barney and the kids test new wheels for his bus, ship, train, and planes as they learn about street and bike safety along the way. Lots of fun songs like "Wheels on the Bus" and "Down by the Station" accompany the kid's animated journeys and soon they're back in the tree house putting the finishing touches on Robert's newly renovated bike. (Ages 1 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi

No Fast Forward???.......2006-12-23

Yes, like others have already said, my kids love Barney. To be honest, I've enjoyed watching previous Barney DVD's myself as the songs are catchy and fun and I think generally there are some good things in there for kids. But I have to say that I am extremely disappointed with this DVD. I guess the producers thought it would be cute to take away the ability to do anything but play the DVD. Any attempt to fast forward or skip simply starts the DVD back at the beginning, effectively forcing you to sit through all of the previews and advertisements in order to get to the actual Barney episode. IMO, this is bordering on arrogance. Well, so sorry to the producers of Barney, but you don't decide what I watch. And you certainly don't decide what my kids will watch. I'll not have you shoving your advertising down my throat or theirs. This will be the last Barney DVD you ever sell to my family.

Sincerely,
Your former customer.

BTW, Nice marketing strategy!

A DVD which may as well be a VHS tape.......2003-10-14

Barney is always great and a big hit with my daughter. However, I would not recommend this particular DVD, if you buy DVD's due to the many wonderful features, such as playing just the songs, skipping adverts and going directly to certain chapters. This DVD has none of these features, so you may as well buy the VHS version. It has some wonderful songs, and is fairly entertaining, however, I would not buy it again, and now make sure that the DVD's I purchase allow us to play just the songs, or select certain chapters. Usually my 17 month old gets bored with the dialogue and wants only to see the songs. If they revamped the DVD, it would probably get 5 stars.

A kid pleaser.......2003-05-18

To start with - being an adult, I really hate Barney! He's extremely annoying. However, when a DVD can't be taken out of the player because it's always in demand, you have to give it a good rating. The songs are catchy, and the kids seem to be enjoying themselves. My son loves the wheels, and boots, and the bus especially.
The big problem with it is that you can't skip past the advertisements at the beginning of the DVD, and after you see them once you certainly don't want to see them all the time. You also can't easily skip forward to pick a special song, or back to replay songs, because the DVD doesn't support this feature. Using the fast forward and rewind gets to be a chore when the DVD is so popular.
Recommended that you put it on, and then get out of earshot as quickly as possible.

Fun with Wheels!.......2003-01-27

My son got this for his 2nd birthday, and asks to watch it all the time! He loves wheels and things that go round, so this is perfect! In no time at all, he has learned the songs and sings along. He really likes the story line, and enjoys all the different things that Mr. Wheelie has that use wheels. This is one that never leaves the DVD player. Only wish is that it had a menu so that you could skip the promos - we Fast Forward through them.

It took a while for my 2.5 yr old to like this DVD. It's more educational for slightly older kids than some of Barney's other works which are simple & musical. There are several familiar songs but the basic concept for this DVD is "methods of transportation". Colours are vividly portrayed as well as graphics which is nice to see. Either way your child may like this. Worth a try!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Barney for spoofing Squeaky Boots!

My Barney lover loved them.......2005-09-12

I bought these for my daughter for our 12 hour drive down to FL for vacation and she loved them both she loves the animals in the Let's Go to the Zoo (although when BJ trys to take pictures they make the film go fuzzy and then focus and watching that in the car was making me a little motion sick) and she enjoyed the Round and Round we go because of the songs. A good deal all around!

Barney-Let's go to the Zoo.......2005-08-17

Excellent introduction for young children to experience many different animals

"Zoo" is great; "Round and Round" has a scary man in it!.......2005-08-08

I'd give "Let's Go to the Zoo" 5 stars. My 20 month old LOVES it!! It's really a great video (and he normally doesn't like TV at all -- and I personally don't normally like Barney).

However, the other video, "Round and Round We Go," has an older man in it that scares my son to death. He can't get past the intro, for fear that the man will come onto the screen soon. Maybe he'll grow out of it, but he may grow out of Barney by then, too...

I should have just bought the zoo video instead of the bargain 2-pack that included the video with the weird-looking man.

back in the dayz of Biggie Smalls.......2005-04-27

back in the dayz the survivors and me used to say barney is corny and i hate barney but now when i think of it the barney days were the good times because it reminds me of when we were survivors and they werent hypocritical. so this gets 5 stars
