Just
in time to capture the hearts of young trainees this Valentine’s Day is
“Brewster’s Little Helper,” the latest title in Anchor Bay
Entertainment’s award-winning “Chuggington™”
DVD series. “Brewster’s Little Helper,” a traintastic way for
preschoolers to celebrate the holiday, comes to retail nationwide on
February 14, 2012.
A colorful and contemporary CGI-animated TV series from Ludorum that reinforces early social readiness skills, “Chuggington” airs daily on Disney Junior, Disney Channel’s programming block for kids ages 2-7 and their families.
“We’re thrilled to ‘welcome aboard’ another delightful ‘Chuggington’
DVD to our library – and to give kids and families from coast-to-coast a
great new treat to enjoy together,” said Erin Carter, Executive
Director of Brand Marketing for Anchor Bay Entertainment. “‘Brewster’s
Little Helper’ presents all the most charming and vibrant qualities of
the popular ‘Chuggington’ TV series, complete with gentle lessons to help guide young viewers as they ride the rails of life.”
“Brewster’s
Little Helper” will have preschoolers honking their horns alongside
their favorite trainees, Wilson, Brewster and Koko, through six
energetic episodes. In the title episode, Zephie is determined to prove
that she can pull her weight. After overhearing Brewster’s tasks for
the day, she tries to take care of them all, but winds up chugging
headlong into trouble. When Zephie is unable to complete the chores
correctly, she realizes she still has some growing up to do. And, with a
little help from Brewster, everything gets back on track. Each of the
additional episodes – Koko Takes Charge, Brewster Knows Best, Zephie’s Zoomaround, Nurse Wilson and Wilson And The Paint Wagon
– are filled with loads of fun and coupled with positive lessons for
preschoolers such as patience, teamwork, responsibility, friendship,
creative thinking and more.
In addition to “Brewster’s Little Helper,” the chart-topping “Chuggington” DVD collection includes four other titles: “Chuggers To The Rescue” (The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval, Parents’ Choice Awards Approved and NAPPA Honors winner), “It’s Training Time!” (NAPPA Honors winner), “Let’s Ride The Rails” (The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval, Parents’ Choice Awards Approved and NAPPA Gold winner), and the most recent title in the collection, “The Chugger Championship.”
“Chuggington” has quickly become a global sensation since its debut in September 2008 in the U.K. The show has
been licensed to more than 175 territories worldwide and has
established ratings records in several key international markets,
including the U.K., Germany, France and Australia. The series made its stateside debut in January 2010. In September, Disney Junior acquired all U.S. television rights to the property for Season Three. Disney Channel is currently available on basic cable in more than 99 million U.S. homes.
