Barney: Jungle Friends

It's Earth Day in Barney's musical world, and the kids are preparing for the big parade. The kids also learn that the tree that's in their play yard is host to a family of birds. When B.J. and Baby Bop come on the scene, Barney decides to "use his imagination," to travel to the rain forest. There, the group meets Mother Nature (Holly Franklin), a ditsy, squeaky lady who helps them to learn about the plants and animals in the rain forest. But B.J. and Ben (Austin Lux) have not learned their lesson about how to care for the planet; when they kick down the only Higgelty Piggelty Pear tree in the world, it makes Mother Nature very sad. She perks up, however, and plants a seed in order to grow another tree. Back in "real-life," the kids hear that a playground might be built on the land where their favorite tree lives. They gently persuade the playground planner to build on the other side of the park, where there are no trees. And then they sing and dance some more. Whew!
