Description:
Can Bob the Builder tear his attention from his talking machines long enough to hammer out four animal misadventures and still keep kids ages 2 to 5 tuned in? Yes, he can! Pets in a Pickle is proof. Pilchard, mewing mainstay around Bob's office, picks up major billing in this 45-minute feature, pawing her way into two titles. In "Pilchard in a Pickle," Wendy worries when the blue-furred tabby turns up missing at breakfast. Come quitting time, she still hasn't surfaced. Tears get to trickling, but it's wasted water, as it turns out. Pilchard, of course, is the perfect size for getting scooped up and shuttled
Can Bob the Builder tear his attention from his talking machines long enough to hammer out four animal misadventures and still keep kids ages 2 to 5 tuned in? Yes, he can! Pets in a Pickle is proof. Pilchard, mewing mainstay around Bob's office, picks up major billing in this 45-minute feature, pawing her way into two titles. In "Pilchard in a Pickle," Wendy worries when the blue-furred tabby turns up missing at breakfast. Come quitting time, she still hasn't surfaced. Tears get to trickling, but it's wasted water, as it turns out. Pilchard, of course, is the perfect size for getting scooped up and shuttled to the worksite. In "Farmer Pickle's Pigpen," Pilchard passes the friskiness baton to Scrufty the dog, a bit player in a mass miscommunication involving a lost cell phone and an abandoned batch of guinea pigs. Before you can bulldoze a Claymation building, Pilchard's back in action in "Pilchard Goes Fishing." Goldfish Fin, flung into a bucket while Wendy scrubs his tank, wants to get his gills back in gear, but Wendy's sidetracked when Muck the Truck bashes into the carport. Leave it to tabby to direct her attention back to the displaced fish. In the final episode, "Roley's Tortoise," it's a near catastrophe when steamroller Roley recognizes a slow-moving creature in his path; once he's out of harm's way, Tommy, rascally pet to townswoman Mrs. Potts, really comes out of his shell by hopping aboard Farmer Pickle's lettuce-loaded trailer for a gorge-fest. In the end, all wrongs are repaired, the requisite Bob the Builder result. Helping hands and handy hands are what cement this ever-so-friendly series. That this feature is spiked with four bonus mini-episodes makes an already likable Bob marathon ever more so. --Tammy La Gorce
