 Game marketing mars Mission to Mars. Beware! July 29, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
My kids love Mission to Mars just like they love the other Backyardigans they've seen (and I rather like the Backyardigans as well), but the "game trial" seems like an infuriating scheme to get kids crying and their parents spending two to three times the price of this DVD just to finish a game that their little ones get involved in.
The way it works is as follows. The kid watches the episodes, which are very enjoyable, and then they want to play the game on the computer. The parent installs the game and finds out that the game is only good for 30 minutes as a trial. Fair enough, you think. So you get involved in this cute kid-friendly arcade game that has 10 episodes (for lack of a better term) and you complete about eight of them and abruptly your time is up, and your kid is crying with this "quit or buy" screen staring them in the face.
Then, you click they "buy" button to see what tribute must be paid to Nickelodeon to get the kid happy again, and you find the game is $32.00! (This is about what the latest Command and Conquer costs.) This so you can play a few more minutes and finish the game, and most importantly, get your kid to stop crying.
Well, I decided not to give into this scheme for extracting money from me, and instead I let my five year old cry, and then explained what had been done to him. My slightly older son watched this all unfold as well. They both now say, "We'll never obey them again!". So, this DVD was educational in a way I didn't quite imagine it would be. Ruthless Marketing 101, you might say. Welcome to the real world, boys.

My 14 month old daughter loves the Backyardigans! My husband and I enjoy the colors and songs, not to mention the creativity and imagination used to develop an episode! This DVD has loads of cute songs and episodes for everyone to enjoy!
 no French language track as advertized March 4, 2008

This video claims to have a French language track, but it doesn't. I have bought other Backyardigans DVDS with French language tracks for my bilingual family and they are great (SuperSecret SuperSpy, for instance), but this one is not as advertized (and I was really looking forward to watching how they'd translate the Samurai Pie episode!).
A huge hit! January 18, 2008
My 4 year old son just LOVES this movie. It is completely age-appropriate and there are no surprises in there with mean-words (like the movie Cars which is great but has 'stupid' and 'idiot' name-calling in there I was not happy with). We don't have cable for the sole purpose of lessening the exposure to TV quantity and commercials - but we are very happy we can get the Backyardigans on DVD so we can watch it at home for special movie time and skip all the commercials on TV. We also have the Surf's Up DVD which is a big winner as well.
A good choice October 29, 2007

My kids love The Backyardigans. We have a few in our collection now and they love them all.
In Mission to Mars there is good action and the songs are great. The other adventure they love on this DVD is Samurai Pie.
