My Thoughts:
Guess who was excited to see this new Chuggington DVD release? This girl....
Yes, that is Savannah, who went as Koko this past Halloween, and continues to wear the costume around the house...usually when watching Chuggington on Disney each morning, or one of her many DVD's which we have from Anchor Bay Entertainment.
Just like previous Chuggington DVD releases, this one did not disappoint. Filled with 6-traintastic episodes that center around Koko, Savannah was in heaven, as she sat down to watch this new release, over and over again. I lost count of how many times we have watched this DVD since receiving a couple of weeks ago, but I know it is more than a dozen times. :-)
And, when I asked Savannah to help me with the review or share her thoughts on the episodes, she was at a loss for words. Everything was amazing, and she loved how the episodes centered around her favorite trainee. She did say she wished there were more episodes to watch. :-)
If you have a preschooler or toddler who loves trains, then you will want to check out Chuggington, which airs daily on Disney and Disney Junior. Both boys and girls enjoy this animated series, which follows Koko, Brewster and Wilson as trainees learning the ropes. By completing different tasks and working together as a team, they not only learn to be better trainees and trains down the road, but strengthen their friendship bond. I, too, am a fan of the show, and especially love the catchy theme song. As we wait for other Chuggington DVD releases from Anchor Bay Entertainment, we will continue to watch this and the other DVDs in our growing collection.
