Theodore Tugboat - Nighttime Adventures [VHS] Overview
Fans of the ever-popular Thomas the Tank Engine will utterly delight in the adventures of Theodore Tugboat, who is kind of a boat version of Thomas with similar animation and stories. The messages are positive, sensitive, and thoughtful, and the stories are fun and entertaining. Each tale centers on the friendships and adventures of Theodore, Emily the Vigorous, George the Valiant, Foduck the Vigilant, Rebecca the Research Vessel, and Hank. Theodore has a little crush on Rebecca, and this is the subplot of the second of three segments featured on this video, "Rebecca and the Big Snore," in which Theodore realizes that even the wonderful Rebecca isn't perfect; no one is. In "Night Shift" (which can be a tiny bit frightening for Theodore's youngest fans), Theodore and buddy Hank realize that things can be deceptively different in the night. Another late-night adventure highlights "Hank Stays Up Late" when Hank and Theodore visit Owan the Oil Rig at night.
This is a great addition to any family video collection and is likely to be watched repeatedly. If the Harbor Master looks a little familiar, and makes you think "California Dreamin'," that's because it's Papa Denny Doherty of the Mamas and Papas. Doherty does a wonderful job as a storyteller and his lilting voice is engaging and enthusiastic. --N.F. Mendoza
