Get ready for the first day of school with your preschool pals from Nickelodeon.
I'm going to just go ahead an issue a preemptive apology for this review. It's sweltering in our house tonight and I got hit in the head twice playing basketball today so I'm not feeling tip-top. But I've got to get this disc turned around, so, well, here we go.
The First Day of School is a collection of some of Nickeldoeon's hit kids shows, with the episodes tied together by the theme of -- you guessed it -- the first day of school. Here's the batting order:
Dora the Explorer: "First Day of School"
Dora, Boots
and Tico go to school and learn Spanish and herald the coming of the Horsemen of
the Apocalypse.
Go Diego Go!: "Linda the Librarian"
When Linda the
Llama needs to drop off her library books off she calls on Diego and his goofy
talking map to help.
Blue's Clues: "Blue Takes You to School"
Blue the Dog
continues his ruthless psychological torture of Joe by forcing him to solve the
mystery of his favorite part of school.
Wonder Pets!: "Off to School"/ "Save the
Pangaroo"
It's Baby Blowfish's first day at preschool and the
nightmarish Wonder Pets are here to make sure it's a memorable one.
Ni Hao, Kai-Lan: "Lulu Day"
Kai-Lan, the adorable
animated Chinese girl goes on a play date and I don't know what that has to do
with school.
I'm slipping into unconsciousness now...so I'll wrap it up. This is a collection aimed at the Nick Jr. crowd, and there's a decent enough assortment to keep them entertained. The rest of it: full frame, stereo, nothing else.
