On October 18, 2011, Lionsgate and HiT Entertainment release three boxed gift sets: Angelina Ballerina: Holiday Gift Set, Thomas & Friends: Holiday Favorites, and Barney: Holiday Favorites. Each of the boxed sets contains three DVDs to entertain the kiddies during the holidays, and keep them out from underfoot. (Note to parents: the reason DVDs make such good gifts is the little known fact that children find 93% of what happens during holidays to be the height of boredom.)
Angelina Ballerina: Holiday Gift Set (recommended for ages two through seven) focuses on dance, dance, and more dance:
Angelina Ballerina: Nutcracker Sweet - Angelina won the plum role in the holiday showcase: the Sugar Plum Fairy. Too many sweets—candies and cakes—prove to Angelina that it’s always more fun to share holiday goodies with friends. Bonus: “Prima Ballerina Puzzle Game” and “Front Row Seats” Karaoke song.
Angelina Ballerina: Love to Dance revisits Angelina’s first day at Camembert Academy, meeting new friends, learning a variety of dance forms, and discovering the importance of collaboration, compromise , and commitment. Bonus: “Angelina Says“ game and “Get Up and Dance” Karaoke video.
Angelina Ballerina: Ballet Dreams follows Angelina as she adjusts to a new school and teacher, puts together a show, and “tries to land a leading role in the Mouskinov Ballet,” all the while learning lessons about patience. Bonus: “Create Your Own Dream Routine” Game
Thomas & Friends: Holiday Favorites brings a new collection of holiday stories to DVD. Christmas parties and activities rule the day in Thomas & Friends: Merry Winter Wish (bonus: “Sir Topham Hatt’s Frosty Friend Game”);Thomas & Friends: Ultimate Christmas gives the crew the opportunity to extend Christmas joy and kindness to others and—maybe—a glimpse of Jack Frost himself (bonus: 2 sing-along songs, 4 DVD games, and a read-along story); and Thomas & Friends: Holiday Express is an enchanting holiday ride filled with adventure, parties, snowmen, and more (bonus: “Sodor Sounds Game,” “Cargo Challenge Game”). Thomas & Friends: Holiday Favorites is recommended for ages two through five.
What’s Christmas without a big purple dinosaur? Barney: Holiday Favorites starts the festivities with Barney: Night Before Christmas – The Movie and a visit to Santa’s workshop, including a look at his secret toys for Christmas. Barney: Night Before Christmas – The Movie is loaded with bonus features: 2 holiday read-alongs (“Barney’s Christmas Surprise,” “Barney’s Wonderful Winter Day”), 10 sing-along songs, 5 Christmas songs, 8 interactive games, and a behind-the-scenes peek.
Also in the Barney gift set is Barney: Christmas Star (recommended for ages one through five), an adventurous search for a shiny gold star; it’s filled with music, magic, and holiday cheer.
