Wonder Pets - Save the Unicorn



DVD Episode Listing
In case anyone was wondering. This DVD includes: "Save the Unicorn!", "Save the Penguin!", "Save the Swan!", "Save the Puppy!", "Save the Three Little Pigs!", "Save the Owl!", "Save the Bullfrog!", and "Save the Poodle!". Hope this was helpful.

Ok, so there're these baby animals, and they sing opera... and they save even younger animals from trouble?
That's pretty much it. Any fan of theater, operetta and, well singing animals, would be a fan of the Wonder Pets. And I should know, I don't have any kids... That you can prove...

But seriously- for the uninitiated, the Wonder Pets is a half hour series on the Nickelodian network supposedly geared towards the Nick Jr. audience but in actuality attractive to lovers of music theater and, per the above, baby singing animals. Regardless of age. Each half hour installment is (barring one or two exceptions) composed of two smaller fifteen minute mini-sodes wherein Linny the Guinnea Pig, Tuck the Turtle and Ming Ming Duckling (three schoolroom mascots) set out on various rescue missions, after the kids go home. Each episode centers around one central theme: teamwork. The Wonder Pets, being youngsters themselves, must make up for their lack of size by using teamwork, smarts and well, lots of musical numbers.

Each episode is composed like an operetta, steeping...

They Are a "Wonder"
The adorable Wonder Pets are loved by all ages. My younger granddaughter has just turned one and has watched them since she was quite small. Even my 8 year old granddaughter sheepishly confesses that she loves them too. What's not to love? They teach teamwork, helping others, positive attitudes and more. The different circumstances in which they find themselves are creative and there is much to learn about the particular animal they are helping, or the geographical area they will travel to and they teach logical thinking and problem solving. Who can resist "Ming Ming's" baby talk? I highly recommend the Wonder Pets series!!
