DVD Review: “Wishbone” (& Giveaway Ends 2/18)

Wishbone

Released: February 15, 2011

Studio: Lionsgate / HIT Entertainment

Running Time: 115 minutes

ABOUT:

If you’re ready for a terrier-ific time jumping into beloved tales such as Robin Hood and Hunchback of Notre Dame, all told through the eyes of an adorable Jack Terrier pup, then Wishbone is for you! The literary-minded pooch with a penchant for daydreaming is taking you back through his most awesome adventures in Wishbone.

Entertainment Weekly coined Wishbone as “One of our Favorite Series on DVD featuring Talking Animals!”  This TV series, which aired on PBS, features a live-action Jack Russell Terrier who imagines himself as the hero of famous classic novels and invites his audience to come along. The tale-wagging pup has picked up 11 awards, including four Emmys and a Peabody. He appeared in People Magazine and on “The Tonight Show.” He’s even been part of a “Jeopardy!” category. In short — so to speak — this sartorial storyteller has become a popular icon. And it all started because of a little dog with a big imagination.

Let your imagination run wild with everyone’s favorite dog Wishbone! The adventurous little terrier takes four action-packed journeys in these beloved classic tales. Join the Merry Men and follow Robin Hood in the Paw Prints of Thieves as he takes from the rich to give to the poor.  In Hot Diggety Dawg and The Impawssible Dream, band together with Don Quixote and Jules Verne’s Professor Liedenbrock to battle giants and monsters. In Hunchdog of Notre Dame, escape danger as Wishbone rescues maidens and defeats his evil master. This clever pup with a nose for adventure will delight and inspire the whole family.

DVD BONUS FEATURES
·      “The Making of Wishbone” – behind-the-scenes featurette

MY THOUGHTS:

I had never heard of Wishbone before seeing this DVD but he is definitely cute!  Wishbone is a dog who talks and goes on all sorts of adventures.  This DVD includes four Wishbone episodes that deal with the classic stories of Don Quixote, Robin Hood, Journey to the Center of the Earth and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.  It is cute to see Wishbone dressed up and hear his voice.  He is quite the adventurous dog!  This is a cute DVD for the whole family to watch as it is not animated but rather a regular show.  My sons are 2 and 4 years old and weren’t too interested in the Wishbone episodes but I can see them liking it in a few years when they are out of their “everything has to be animated” phase.

BUY IT: You can buy “Wishbone” wherever DVDs are sold or check it out on Amazon for $8.99.

WIN IT: (1) US winner will receive the DVD “Wishbone” (The Little Dog with a Big Imagination!)
