What's the Story?
Deedee (Lisa Lennox), Rooney (Chad McNamara), and Moe (Jonathan Wexler) Doodle return to the screen as animated versions of their popular live-action selves in DOODLEBOPS ROCKIN' ROAD SHOW. The musical trio travels through Doodle-Net and helps their young fans use creative thinking and logic to solve problems like being afraid of the water or having stage fright, all the while increasing their appreciation for music through the group's toe-tapping original songs.
Is It Any Good?
Kids needn't already be fans of the live-action characters to appreciate this colorful, fast-paced show, and their attention is put to good use as the stories teach important life skills about the importance of personal hygiene, physical activity, and self-confidence. As they see the characters reap the benefits of working through their troubles, kids will be encouraged to do the same for themselves.
This is an excellent show for parents to watch with their kids, since it's a great segue into discussions that are sometimes tough to start with resistant youngsters. Their defenses may be down -- and their willingness to talk up -- after seeing that other people deal with similar problems to their own.
