Once upon a time, Molly and Gil went up a hill to fetch a pail of water.

They better work fast or else no one in the Enchanted Forest will live happily ever after!

Bubble Puppy

Bubble Bites

Ms. Pinkytoe, a friendly crab, gives Gil a few Bubble Bites to feed to Bubble Puppy. Bubble Puppy wants more food so the guppies head to the supermarket.

MY THOUGHTS

My 4 year old enjoys the tv show, Bubble Guppies.  We were excited to add it to our family’s movie collection for the first time on DVD.  Especially now that we don’t have the Nickelodeon channel, having Bubble Guppies on DVD gives Sam a chance to watch one of his favorite shows over and over again.  A big thanks goes out to Nickelodeon and Paramount Home Entertainment for this DVD review opportunity on The Mommy-Files.
