...done in 3D animation called Bob the Builder. Bob lives in Bobsville, and is the only builder in the area, so everyone always calls Bob if they need any professional building work done, no matter how small. No one seems to do any DIY, so he is kept VERY busy. Luckily, he has Wendy, a very capable assistant, who answers the phones, makes all the job arrangements, and even is able to muck in and do some building work so that Bob gets done in time. Even ... ...to assist with particular jobs, Bob has a cat, Pilchard, who occasionally gets into scrapes, and speaking of scrapes, there is often trouble afoot in the guise of a scarecrow owned by the local farmer, Farmer Pickles.

Quick review of Bob The Builder - Knights Of Can-A-Lot (DVD)
Excellent DVD, alittle bit different from previous stories, as this one involves Bobs mum and dad in it (where did they spring from). My son loves BTB, and has many of his dvds in his collection. We had read the book about this story before we actually purchased the DVD, but we were still both very pleased. They always have very well known actor/actresses guest starring in them (well doing the voices anyway) A star rating !!!! ...
