Nickelodeon aired this as a prime-time special last night. With all the hype the special and the DVD were getting, I had assumed that it would be a "double-length" story. However, I was disappointed to see it was only a regular-length Wonder Pets story; to fill out the rest of the time, it was paired with "Three Wonder Pets and a Baby."

I admit that I had never had high expectations for this special, but I was more disappointed in it than I thought I would be. The writers worked in a LOT of Beatles references. While the references went over my 3-year-old's head, I ended up spending more time groaning at all the references than actually watching the story.

In "Three Wonder Pets and a Baby," I found it hard to believe that a baby pig would have been left overnight in the school (especially when it wasn't in some kind of a cage). While I liked the point the stoy was trying to make (doing a little bit at a time in order to get things done), I didn't like the execution of this story. I think the same point could have been made with a different storyline.

While I'm not a big fan of the Wonder Pets, I can at least find most of the stories to be somewhat enjoyable. These two stories, however, just don't fit into that category.

That's a very well-done article, Marci. smile

I have to agree about the teamwork song... that one definitely gets stuck in your head. My 3-year-old daughter loves to sing it. I even sang part of it once while at one of my son's Cub Scout pack meetings not too long ago (*embarrassed*). OK, I think only maybe one or two people at the pack meeting heard it, but still...

The phone, the phone is ringing....LOL

Yes, I thought it got too much hype too. I didn't get to really watch it but was surprised when I saw how short it was. I was thinking "movie" too.

My personal favorite is the Power Puff girls story line that spoofed a Beatles theme. I can't think of the name off the top of my head but it was hilarious.
