Chico Bon Bon and the Very Berry Holiday
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
In CHICO BON BON AND THE VERY BERRY HOLIDAY, it's Blunderberry Day Eve in Blunderberg, and the town residents are eagerly awaiting Barry the Berry Bear's delivery of festive cakes through the night. When they discover that Barry has fallen asleep after baking all day, Chico Bon Bon (voiced by Robbie Daymond) and the Fix-It Force -- Tiny, Clark (Anthony Tedesco), and Rainbow Thunder (Dayci Brookshire) -- decide to take his place to make sure everyone has a merry holiday. The fates are against them from the start, though, and they must put their heads together to figure a way to get all the deliveries done before everyone wakes up on Blunderberry Day.
Is It Any Good?
This merry seasonal special emphasizes teamwork and community mindedness in the Fix-It Force's valiant efforts to rescue their town's very favorite holiday. Applying a concept called route optimization, Chico Bon Bon and his friends learn the importance of efficiency in accomplishing their goal before a hard deadline. Fortunately for everyone, their work pays off and the whole town gets the celebration they were hoping for.
The Fix-It Force rescues Blunderberry Day through selflessness that's demonstrated time and again in this story and speaks to seasonal sentiments of generosity and kindness. Not everyone has the opportunity to save a holiday for an entire town, per se, but that same message can be tailored to anyone's ability to share with others. Chico Bon Bon fans will want to see this holiday special, and newcomers to the characters may find they're inspired to check out the series once they get to know this helpful team.
