In this cute, animated show, we meet four characters who work for The Doozer Pod Squad. They make kids understand how to work together as a team. There are four episodes included in this DVD.<\/span><span style=\"color: windowtext; line-height: 115%; font-size: 10pt\"><br style=\"word-spacing: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; widows: 1\" \/> <br style=\"word-spacing: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; widows: 1\" \/> <span style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"word-spacing: 0px; float: none; widows: 1\">I like this show because it talks about the importance of working together. The characters are all very cute and I like that they talk about creativity and how you can make anything when you work together as a team and don\u2019t give up.<\/span><\/span><br style=\"word-spacing: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; widows: 1\" \/> <br style=\"word-spacing: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; widows: 1\" \/> <span style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"word-spacing: 0px; float: none; widows: 1\">I like this show so much that the only thing I don\u2019t like is how short the episodes are. I wish that the episodes were a little longer.<\/span><\/span><br style=\"word-spacing: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; widows: 1\" \/> <br style=\"word-spacing: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; widows: 1\" \/> <span style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"word-spacing: 0px; float: none; widows: 1\">My favorite character is Daisy Wheel Doozer (voiced by Millie Davis), because she is the nicest and youngest character. I can relate to her since we are both the youngest amongst our peers. I like that she can do most of the stuff on her own and I\u2019m the same way.<\/span><\/span><br style=\"word-spacing: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; widows: 1\" \/> <br style=\"word-spacing: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; widows: 1\" \/> <span style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"word-spacing: 0px; float: none; widows: 1\">The moral lesson of this DVD is \u201cIf you collaborate with others, you can accomplish anything.\u201d I say that because, when The Doozers have a goal, they work together to accomplish it. This helps kids understand that it is okay to work together and it will help kids learn how to collaborate with others.<\/span><\/span><br style=\"word-spacing: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; widows: 1\" \/> <br style=\"word-spacing: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; widows: 1\" \/> <span style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"word-spacing: 0px; float: none; widows: 1\">In terms of features on the DVD, you can select individual episodes to watch or you can select \u201cplay all.\u201d You can also fast forward or rewind the movie.<\/span><\/span><br style=\"word-spacing: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; widows: 1\" \/> <br style=\"word-spacing: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; widows: 1\" \/> <span style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"word-spacing: 0px; float: none; widows: 1\">I recommend this to kids who like adventure and educational shows. It\u2019s perfect for kids ages 3 to 8. Kids above that age may find it a bit boring. For that age, I give this show 5 out of 5 stars. This is a really great show and it is available now on DVD.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nK4NfpBa_e4\" frameborder=\"0\">&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;\/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><em>Doozers Spookypalooza<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">By Morgan B., KIDS FIRST! Film Critic, age 10<\/p>\n<p>Jim Henson\u2019s three inch green charters, the Doozers from the wonderful Fraggle Rock adventures can now be found on a new DVD.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Perfect for the fall season this DVD contains four episodes including Spookypalooza where we learn how to get three pumpkins on top of each other using imagination and creative tools. Things do not always go as planned but eventually life always works itself out.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Legend of Doozer Creek is another Halloween theme which we learn how the Doozers celebrate their fall holiday. There is a crazy sphinx who loves to jump out and scare Doozers. The magic wizard and the Doozers must do what they can to stop him.<\/li>\n<li>Mystery Box is impossible to open. The Doozrers have to use their heads and come with many ideas to crack this mystery.<\/li>\n<li>Doozers of a Dippleplant finds them gardening to try and break a record for the biggest plant. In the process they lean much and much more.<\/li>\n<li>Be-leaf It asks the question, \u201cWhat are leaves good for?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">My favorite story is Legend of Doozer Creek. It is told like a fairy tale and I love fairy tales. It has a great story line which leads the Doozers on an adventure. They learn a unique way to solve a problem. What would you do if a crazy sphinx was on the loose?<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The animation is colorful and the story lines are easy to follow. The writers have a great imagination. Jim Henson and this team always seem to know what kids will enjoy and kids are sure to enjoy this new DVD. You might not have the tools that the Doozers use but it encourages you to want to build something. It made me feel like there is never a problem that with a little thought and creativity cannot be solved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The voice-overs are great because the voices of the characters are so cute. They match the little green Doozers perfectly. They have different personalities and qualities which all work together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">My favorite character is Molly Bolt who is so cute I just want to hug her. She is smart, thoughtful and always encouraging. She exemplifies the theme of Lets do, do, do it and lend a hand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I recommend this DVD for ages 2 to 7. This is definitely for younger kids. Since it is four short stories, it is easy to watch just one episode or all depending on the child. This is a fun family friendly movie. I give this DVD 4 Spooky pumpkins out of 5.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TK4RCD_TUPg\" frameborder=\"0\">&amp;amp;amp;lt;\/p&amp;amp;amp;gt; <\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This DVD features four STEM-based adventures from the Doozers, a TV show produced by Jim Henson Productions and released by N Circle Entertainment.
