The Stinky & Dirty Valentine's Day Show
What's the Story?
THE STINKY & DIRTY VALENTINE'S DAY SHOW is a two-episode holiday special featuring the characters from the books by Jim and Kate McMullan. In the first story, Sender (voiced by Anna Camp) is busily delivering Valentines to all her friends in Go City when Stinky (Isaac Ryan Brown) and Dirty (Jet Jurgensmeyer) decide to create a special musical Valentine for her. After some difficulty transporting it around town, they realize she might be difficult to find! Episode two sees Stinky and Dirty step in to help when Chopper (Jonny Cruz) is unable to fly a Valentine banner over the city, but it's surprisingly difficult to find just the right place for it.
Is It Any Good?
These inseparable pals continue to encounter and solve problems in friendly fashion around their city in this festive holiday special. Their can-do attitude knows no defeat, regardless of how many tries and "what if?" moments it takes to get to a solution. By involving their friends in the process, Stinky and Dirty show kids the value of collaboration.
The Stinky & Dirty Valentine's Day Show also captures the special joy of doing for others, whether it's in the form of an unexpected and heartfelt gift or helping a friend who's in a jam. Stinky, Dirty, and their Go City neighbors give selflessly and happily, which spreads cheer aplenty.
