DVD Review: HIT Favorites: Trick or Treat Tales

Trick or Treat Tales is a fun way to bring home Halloween in a child-friendly way. The DVD contains all of your child's favorite characters such as Thomas, Barney, Bob the Builder, Fifi and the Flowertots, and Angelina Ballerina. Included as well on this DVD is a bonus episode featuring Fireman Sam in an episode titled "Cat Magic." Trick or Treat Tales will provide almost an hour of singing, dancing, and fun stories for your children.

Thomas and Friends have an episode titled "Flour Power" in which Thomas becomes covered in flour while loading his cars. As he chugs along he comes across a fellow train who thinks he is a ghost. Once it's discovered Thomas really isn't a ghost everything goes back to normal in the village of Sodor. Living up to its almost realistic look, children are transported to Thomas's world in bright colors and imaginative fun.

In the next segment called "Guess Who?" Barney, Baby Bop, BJ, and Riff have children involved in trying to find Riff in the midst of a pumpkin party for Halloween. Several new songs are sung by the children and Barney and friends which has the children become engaged and maybe even get up and dance. Again, vibrant colors add to the show and really draw in the children's attention to what is going on.

In Bob the Builder's "Trix's Pumpkin Pie," Spud takes Trix's pumpkin pie and Bob gets all the equipment in on trying to find it. Two of the characters find the pie and return it to Trix just in time for the harvest dinner all the characters are having in celebration of the autumn harvest. "Pirate Primrose" is the episode for Fifi and the Flowertots and children will learn that cheating doesn't pay while the characters go on a treasure hunt dressed as pirates. At the end when the treasure gets thrown into a mud pit as a result of Stingo's and Slugsy's cheating all work together to retrieve the treasure chest and all are rewarded with necklaces and a tea party.
