One of the best Backyardigans dvds ever. March 13, 2010

I'm a parent, and my daughter loves the Backyardigans. It was the first show that really got her attention when she wasn't even a year old. In the last 3 years, -I've- gotten into the Backyardigans, and know nearly all the songs by heart. This dvd contains some of the most memorable episodes and songs, and that's saying a lot considering how catchy so many of them are.
Surf's Up is the episode where Pablo's looking for the perfect wave on Tiki Beach. While searching, he joins up with Tyrone and Uniqua, while being followed by the mysterious lifeguard, Austin. The music for this episode is Afro-pop, and very cool. And you gotta love those super super rad, totally rad moves the gang shows off on their boards.
Riding the Range has Tyrone going to a hoedown while Uniqua, Pablo and Tasha look for a bandit. The music here is more hip-hop, and it's great having Tyrone hopping along with those smooth hoedown moves to the beat. Ridin' the range, let's go! This episode has a little bit of western action involving horses too!
Then there are the two 'bonus' episodes. I don't like how they're listed as bonus episodes when they could just say that this dvd has 4 regular episodes. These two are Race to the Tower of Power and The Quest for the Flying Rock. Tower of Power is a cool superhero episoe where Tyrone and Pablo are the bad guys, and Uniqua and Austin are the heroes trying to stop them from doing bad guy-type things. Music genre for this episode = Latin. Finally is my favorite episode of the bunch, and one of my top episodes, the Flying Rock. The gang looks for a magical flying rock (yeah, it doesn't actually give you powers, it's just a small, flying rock that they want to go see) and splits up into two teams, trying to beat eachother to it. This is a kind of boys vs girls episode with insanely good disco music. The first song and dance in this episode needs to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's right up there with Thriller I tell you.
If you don't have cable and want to give your child a shot with the show, I highly recommend this dvd because of the music and episode theme diversity. Though that goes for most of the other Backyardigans dvds, I guess I'm just biased because this one has the Flying Rock episode. 5 stars, easy.

Backyardigans are loved in our household - by my 4.5 year old, myself, and my almost 40 year old husband. The tunes are catchy, the tales interesting, and the stories just the right length. Surf's Up is one of our favorites.

Our Godson is 3 years old and he loves Surf's Up. I would recommend it to any young viewer.

Surfs Up DVD Review June 26, 2009
CKRM
My son enjoys watching all the episodes on this DVD. It's a great buy for any Backyardigan fan!
The first episode we ever saw February 4, 2009
J. Archer (Sonoita)
Surfs Up is the episode that introduced us to the Backyardigans and where my children fell in love with Pablo. I enjoy the music being rhythmic enough to be able to listen to on very long road trips without making you want to stop and change it every time it is done playing.
This is the movie that my littlest child loves to dance too. She is very shy but doesn't care who is around when this video is playing, just ignoring us and dancing!
