Wubbzy: Best of Walden



Walden's First-Ever DVD Collection
This year I have had the chance to watch a few new cartoons that I have never heard of before. Last weekend, I watched the DVD Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! Best of Walden, which I received a complimentary copy in exchange for my honest review.

Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! aired from 2006 to 2010 on Nick Jr., totaling fifty-two episodes (two segments per episode) and two movies.

The Best of Walden DVD features six episodes about Wubbzy's friend Walden, who is the bookish, kindhearted, science nerd of the series. In these six twelve-minute episodes, Walden bakes a marshmallow lasagna, finds a strange elephant-like-creature in his yard, catches the Chickenitis, collects figgety-fig leaves, learns how to swim and how to be cool.

The episodes on the single disc are:

Perfecto Party
Mr. Cool
Walden on the Beach
Woozy Walden
Goo Goo Grief
The Last Leaf

Bonus Features are:

Coloring Activity Sheets
Music...

Encourages Individuality and Imagination
My kids have always been Wow Wow Wubbzy fans so they were thrilled to watch Best of Walden, the third in the "Best of" Wubbzy DVD series. Walden is Wubbzy's loveable friend known for his intelligence and creativity.

I've always loved the unique magical world Wubbzy and his friends live in. The bright color and distinct shapes really capture pre-schoolers attention. Their silly humor has my kids laughing all the way through and there is nothing my ears love more than the sound of my children's laughter.

While Walden may not be the "coolest" character, I loved the episode Mr. Cool where his friends encourage him and convince him that he is in fact cool and doesn't need to change who he is! I think it's such an important lesson for toddlers to realize that being cool doesn't mean being just like everyone else. I want my kids to feel free to be themselves and not try to fit into the mold of what society deems cool.

"Don't try to be something you're not" is...

Wow, wow, Walden!
This is the compilation of the best Walden episodes as voted by the fans. Walden learns how to be cool yet stay true to who he is. Learns how to be honest with his friends about things he's afraid of (swimming at the beach) & much more. Walden may be the smart one of the group of friends but he is also very adorable with charm & an Australian accent. Kids can learn a lot from Walden & parents can feel safe with their kids watching it.
