Go Diego Go!: The Great Panda Adventure DVD

After our recently family trip to the local zoo, my twins have been all about animals and animal noises, so a DVD featuring even more exotic creatures was a huge hit with the boys.

Now available on DVD!  Nickelodeon’s Diego and Baby Jaguar rescue animals all over the world in the four new-to-DVD episodes featured on Go, Diego, Go!: The Great Panda Adventure. In these action-packed journeys, preschoolers help Diego pick up pandas in the mountains of China; return a lost koala to his mommy in the Australian Forest; reunite a lemur with his family in Madagascar; and protect a beaver’s dam from a giant wave in the Canadian Rockies.

All Aboard The Giant Panda Express:  Diego and Baby Jaguar are helping their friend, Yang, the Giant Panda Rescuer, at Bamboo Mountain in China, where lots of bamboo has just been planted. Their mission is to take a train ride to pick up all of the hungry pandas and bring them back to Bamboo Mountain as bamboo is the Giant Panda’s favorite food! Along the way, they keep Pan Pan the Giant Panda from falling over the mountain, find Grandpa Panda camouflaged in the snowy filed, use panda gloves to climb the tallest tree in the forest to find Baby Panda and growl like Giant Pandas to save the panda twins from leopards. They’ve got to hurry because there’s a train full of hungry Giant Pandas and only one food will do – bamboo.  

Our favorite episode had to be the Panda one.  It featured twin pandas and a train, need I say more?

Koala's Birthday Hug:  Diego’s in an Australian Forest when suddenly he hears a cry for help. It’s a koala who’s stuck in the middle of the road, with a truck headed right for him! Diego rescues the little koala and learns that today is Joey the Koala’s birthday. He must help Joey get back to his mommy and celebrate his birthday.

Leaping Lemurs:  Diego and Baby Jaguar are returning a group of animals to their home in Madagascar. But one animal, Sara the Sifaka Lemur, hasn’t been home in such a long time, that she can’t remember how to get there. To find her home, the trio travels through the island meeting many lemur friends until they finally catch up to Sara’s family.

Diego Saves the Beavers:  Diego and his friend, Billy the Beaver, are in the Canadian Rockies helping all of the river animals keep their homes safe from an overflowing river. They are interrupted when Alicia calls to say a giant wave is heading straight for Billy the Beaver’s family! The duo race to make it to the Beaver Dam before the giant wave hits.

We see Beavers and Beaver Dams on visits to the Colorado Rockies frequently.  Even the big kids got a kick out of this episode on our provided review copy featuring Dam building to save the day.
