Can Bob the Builder tear his attention from his talking machines long enough to hammer out four animal misadventures and still keep kids ages 2 to 5 tuned in? Yes, he can! Pets in a Pickle is proof. Pilchard, mewing mainstay around Bob's office, picks up major billing in this 45-minute feature, pawing her way into two titles. In "Pilchard in a Pickle," Wendy worries when the blue-furred tabby turns up missing at breakfast. Come quitting time, she still hasn't surfaced. Tears get to trickling, but it's wasted water, as it turns out. Pilchard, of course, is the perfect size for getting scooped up and shuttled to the worksite. In "Farmer Pickle's Pigpen," Pilchard passes the friskiness baton to Scrufty the dog, a bit player in a mass miscommunication involving a lost cell phone and an abandoned batch of guinea pigs. Before you can bulldoze a Claymation building, Pilchard's back in action in "Pilchard Goes Fishing." Goldfish Fin, flung into a bucket while Wendy scrubs his tank, wants to get his gills back in gear, but Wendy's sidetracked when Muck the Truck bashes into the carport. Leave it to tabby to direct her attention back to the displaced fish. In the final episode, "Roley's Tortoise," it's a near catastrophe when steamroller Roley recognizes a slow-moving creature in his path; once he's out of harm's way, Tommy, rascally pet to townswoman Mrs. Potts, really comes out of his shell by hopping aboard Farmer Pickle's lettuce-loaded trailer for a gorge-fest. In the end, all wrongs are repaired, the requisite Bob the Builder result. Helping hands and handy hands are what cement this ever-so-friendly series. That this feature is spiked with four bonus mini-episodes makes an already likable Bob marathon ever more so. --Tammy La Gorce

 Pretty cute video September 15, 2004

This is a pretty cute video. It's basically about Pilchard and Tommy the Tortoise so it definitely drags a little. My little one got ancy before it was over which is very unusual. We love Bob in our house but really, this one could have used a little pick-me-up in the writing department. It was a great idea, but it definitely needs expanded and reworked.

Bright, beautiful animation, sweetly adorable pets, and valuable lessons about friendship and responsiblity are found in "Bob the Builder: Pets in a Pickle". This winning entry in the "Bob the Builder" series is terrific for kids and has enough charm and appeal that even adults can enjoy it.
"Bob the Builder: Pets in a Pickle" is a delightful addition to anyone's DVD collection.

My two-year-old absolutely adores Bob the Builder. We play together frequently with his BTB toys and vehicles, recreating scenes from the videos or inventing new situations. The videos in general are excellent, but this is my personal favorite. The stories are fairly complex for a 2-year-old but deeply engaging. ("Can We Fix It?" is also excellect.) Usually we watch it together and comment on what's happening, but it's also valuable that he's happy to watch it by himself so that I can get some quiet time to feed the baby or put her to sleep (my wife is often out in the evenings). No harm in letting your child watch some wholesome programming on his own so long as you don't let him overdo it. I guess "A Viewer from France" would have to have a child to understand this.

So, there are a number of us out here in the real world who thank the lord for a few minutes to clean up the kitchen while our youngster watches Bob the Builder. Sure, he's a tool getting walked on by Wendy and the gang--but hey, he also is eternally positive and a decent role model. Besides, thetype of parent that selects Bob for their children will most likely spend time with our children far outweighs the amount of time spent in front of the tellie. You obviously don't have children
