IS Sweet treat FOR fans everywhere
Preschoolers
Coast-to-Coast to Get ‘on Track’ for Cool Learning Adventures With
Latest ‘Chuggington’ Release from Anchor Bay Entertainment – May 15,
2012
Families nationwide will “scream” for joy when “Wilson And The Ice Cream Fair,” the newest DVD in the award-winning hit “Chuggington™”
DVD series from Anchor Bay Entertainment, pulls out of the roundhouse
and into retail nationwide, May 15, 2012. The charming new compilation
for preschoolers and families is set to satisfy everyone’s appetite for
fun and adventure with adorable, age-appropriate escapades to engage and
enchant young viewers.
“‘Wilson
And The Ice Cream Fair’ is an irresistible new title filled with
positive messages for preschoolers and we’re very excited to give fans
the opportunity to enjoy this delightful collection of favorite
‘Chuggington’ episodes – just in time to celebrate the start of summer,”
said Erin Carter, Executive Director of Brand Marketing, Anchor Bay
Entertainment.
A colorful and contemporary CGI-animated TV series from Ludorum that reinforces early social readiness skills to help young trainees ride the rails of life, “Chuggington” airs daily on Disney Junior, Disney Channel’s programming block for kids ages 2-7 and their families.
The
all-new episodic collection stars brave trainee Wilson, who takes to
the rails with lots to do: he must make a special delivery to the ice
cream fair, help Frostini create a new flavor for the mayor’s banquet
and, somehow, help prevent a massive ice cream meltdown on the hottest
day of the year! The non-stop fun continues when Wilson and friends
Brewster and Koko visit the Chuggington ice cream factory, assist with a
brave rescue at the Safari Park and embark on an exciting journey to
the ice caves. Alongside helpful chuggers like Old Puffer Pete, and
Mtambo, the young trainees – both on screen and at home! – discover
important lessons about responsibility, cooperation, paying attention,
overcoming fear and more!
And
to “sweeten the deal,” two new promotional campaigns set to celebrate
the release of “Wilson And The Ice Cream Fair” are sure to be the
“cherry on top” for “Chuggington” fans! Starting in May 2012, LUIGI’S® Real Italian Ice packages will feature a coupon for $2 off on the purchase price of the new title or any other “Chuggington” DVD. In addition, consumers who purchase a “Chuggington”
DVD and any Joy Cone brand 42 count Mini-Cups or 18 count Color Cups
from May 1 to October 30, 2012, will be entitled to receive a FREE
Frostini die-cast train from TOMY (shipping and handling charges apply).
“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.

My Thoughts:
If you follow my blog, then you know that Savannah loves the hit animated series, Chuggington. We have had the opportunity to review a few of these DVDs, thanks to the kind folks at Anchor Bay Entertainment. And, this past week, Savannah and I had the opportunity to watch this new release in the series. And, as a special treat, I surprised Savannah with her favorite yogurt ice cream bar, to enjoy while we watched the 6 Chuggington episodes, which centered around everybody's favorite treat -- ice cream. Chuggington fans will enjoy this new release, and will find themselves rooting Wilson on as he tries to prevent an ice cream meltdown. With summer right around the corner, this is the perfect DVD to share with you little ones.
I have said this before, but I love how this hit series teaches children lessons, as well as emphasizes the importance of teamwork or friendship. Even though there are 6 full-length episodes on this DVD, they are short enough to keep a toddler or young child's attention, and can be split up. We ended up watching 3 episodes in one sitting, as Savannah can't get enough of her Chuggington friends. And, then, over the weekend, she finished watching the remaining episodes with Daddy.
If you haven't seen an episode of Chuggington, you really should watch one. I love that I don't have to screen the content of this animated series, and can feel comfortable with Savannah viewing it. Who knows, your family may become Chuggington fans like my family and so many others are?
