Review & Giveaway: Yo Gabba Gabba! Clubhouse DVD

Nickelodeon and Paramount Home Entertainment presents

YO GABBA GABBA!: CLUBHOUSE

Yo Gabba Gabba! Yo Gabba Gabba! Yo Gabba Gabba! YOOO!!! Ok, I admit it…we’re Yo Gabba Gabba junkies. For a family who doesn’t have cable we’ve seen tons of the Nickeloden programs. We’ve been to the live YGG concert show and Teagan has met most of the characters at in store appearances. We can’t get enough! I jumped at the chance to dance and sing along with Teagan to the new DVD release: Yo Gabba Gabba!: Clubhouse.

I feel Yo Gabba Gabba does a wonderful job at teaching fundamental lessons to kids ages 2-5. Not only is Teagan learning but also she’s encouraged to move and dance. My husband and I are familiar with and or are fans of all of the musical and non-musical guest stars. We watch the episodes as a family and it’s a party!

Here is an overview of the four episodes on the DVD Yo Gabba Gabba! Clubhouse:

Clubhouse

Brobee and Muno build a boy’s clubhouse but won’t let Foofa and Toodee play. Meanwhile DJ Lance and Plex help Foofa and Toodee build an awesome tree house where they allow everyone to play.

GUEST STARS: Erykah Badu, The Sounds, Mark Mothersbaugh

Adventure

Muno and friends go on an Indiana Jones like adventure! They travel through a jungle under Gabbaland and find the golden treasure.

GUEST STARS: The Killers, Mark Mothersbaugh

Summer

All the characters in Gabba Land use the outdoors and friends to capture the happiness of summertime. In “Bubbles”, “Summertime”, and “Jumpy Jump” all the characters have fun doing different outdoor activities. Then as all the characters have a pool party they learn to take turns on the slide in the “Wait your turn” song.

GUEST STARS: The Aquabats

Animals

Foofa loves animals and she tracks an animal to find out about it. The Gabba gang also discovers some silly animals that only could be found in Gabbaland. Foofa teaches how to care for a pet friend or plant friend and becomes queen of the animals.

GUEST STARS: Jack McBrayer, Paul Scheer, Jimmy Eat World, Mark Mothersbaugh

So far, Teagan’s favorite episode is Clubhouse. She likes the Super Music Friend Show guests the Sounds. Teagan cracks up when she sees Brobee dressed as a pirate. I crack up

when I see Muno with an enormous eye patch over his one eye! This episode explores imagination, sharing and doing your own thing! The boys build a boys only club house and the girls are left out. Teagan recently felt left out by the boys. It is sad to see your child  feel excluded but I’m glad the girls in the episode were resilient and created their own cooler clubhouse. I won’t spoil it for you but let’s just say girls rule! 😉

Teagan also enjoys the Cool Tricks segments. She likes to watch kids perform their talents and tricks! For some reason the voices of a few of the characters sound different. Different actors? Or, maybe it’s the way the recordings were produced. And where is Biz’s Beat of The Day?

This DVD has been in regular rotation since we received it. Definitely Teagan’s new favorite.  As parents we like the themes and how the lessons are explored. Yo Gabba Gabba is colorful, musical and pure fun!
