Each of the novelty bands has a unique talent they are proud to show off (&#8220;I sparkle,&#8221; flower-shaped Daisy repeatedly reminds the others), but it&#8217;s an ordinary rubber band they meet after a second mishap sends them to a recycling center in a garbage truck who really snaps them into focus. &#8220;We all have different talents, but we&#8217;re all made from the same stuff,&#8221; Stretch tells the novelty bands. &#8220;We&#8217;re a team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As a team, now, all six continue on their journey to the toy store \u2013 and, they hope, the wrist of a novelty-rubber-band-loving child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If your kids are into rubber band bracelets, it&#8217;s no\u00a0stretch to imagine\u00a0they&#8217;ll be\u00a0into Bands on the Run: The\u00a0Rubber Band Movie, a DVD release from E One Entertainment scheduled for May 31 (with 10 limited-edition bands as a bonus feature!).
