Anyway, next, next we’re going to visit Rollie Pollie Ollie’s planet where we’re going to dance the Twirl with Rollie and Zoe and their firend Billy. Oh its going to be so much fun. Oh and then we’re going to visit the Animal World, yes, with Stanley and oh we’re going to have so much fun with Dennis, too. We’re going to have a great time with Great Big Book of Everything. Oh there’s just so much more and you know the best part is that when you celebrate friendships with us, new friends become old pals." Is this just for people who've suffered severe brain injuries or can the unborn enjoy it too? I have no idea what this is, (and I don't want to know) but those cartoon characters are hideous. Once again, it appears we have yet more dumbing down of everything that is Disney so it will appeal only to mental vegetables and fetuses. Ugh.

Originally Posted By retlawfan I'm not too sure about Stanley, but the Bear in the Big Blue House, and Rollie Pollie Ollie are pretty good shows for the kids. No violence. Always good educational, wholesome messages. I'm sure I'll have to take the little ones to see it once it opens. It might actually be fun.
Originally Posted By Quasimodo Bear in the Big Blue House is a Henson Show. I got hooked on this Disney channel show the first time I saw it. The is great for 2-6 year-olds and teaches life's little lessons to the litlle ones; i.e. sharing, facing your fears, making friends, apologizing, etc. But since this a Henson production, the cast of creatures have strong, distinct personalities and can be quite funny at times. Bear plays the big brother role guiding the other characters along. I saw the WDW 'live' version of it back in 1998 (before Rolie Polie Olie was added to the show). My friend and I enjoyed it immensely. It has humor and heart. Sorry to see the Bistro go, but alas I can always have a martini and lunch at Storyteller's Cafe. Or is that a 3 martini lunch... -Quasi
Originally Posted By three_a_production i also love bear in the big blue house and i really enjoy the playhouse disney show at the Studios (not to crazy about pooh though) its a well done show and im excited to have it come to DCA -em

Just because they are getting rid of SOB, doesn't mean that they have to get rid of the Martini's. That's the only way I would be able to enjoy BitBBH (ya, gotta love that abbreviation, almost as good as SoB)

Originally Posted By dennis-in-ct <<Am I supposed to know? Am I supposed to care? >>> you are not part of the "stroller set" - so no. Families in Florida LOVE this show. It is very popular. I am with you - never saw it and don't care. CA is addressing the stroller set with this and Fliks. Yeah for Disney for creating well rounded offerings.

Originally Posted By phruby I saw this show at WDW. It was really good for kids under the age of six. Lots of good puppets and very entertaining for the little ones. You do have to sit on the floor for the show though and your looking up at the stage. Other than that its a great show. Much better than the Voyage of the Little Mermaid.
Originally Posted By trollinda My big question is why they're putting it in the Bistro and not in Hollywood and Dine? Are they planning on reopening that with some EDIBLE food this time around, or do they have some other project in the works for it? Anyone? Anyone?
Originally Posted By Santa Monica They plan to reopen H&D when Tower of Terror opens. I didn't know there were puppets in the show. I thought it was just that ugly Stanley plastic head. <<Am I supposed to know? Am I supposed to care?>> As a cast member, I guess you should.
Originally Posted By Davko58 "But since this a Henson production" Ahhhh, no wonder I instantly hated it. Now I understand. Isn't one horrible Henson detraction in DCA enough? I guess not. These puppet things look even worse than those cloying, corny, terribly dated, overexposed, remarkably unfunny, and tremendously boring Muppets. I did manage to sit through the entire "show" despite my friends' pleas to leave, but that was only because I have a thing where I have to experience every DLR attraction at least once. I guess my streak will soon be broken!
