Available exclusively on DVD, Bob the Builder introduces future builders to the wonderful world of construction in Bob the Builder ON SITE: Houses & Playgrounds, an all-new DVD Special from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment. This live-action and animated DVD is bigger and better than ever, including the fun Bob the Builder animation kids love, paired with custom footage of kids' favorite places -- houses and playgrounds under construction! Real dirt movers, construction workers and onsite building will fascinate parents and kids alike. Ready to tackle any project, Bob the Builder and his Can-Do Crew of BIG machines hammer out solutions that lead to a job well done, utilizing the power of positive thinking, problem-solving, teamwork and follow-through. From start to finish, the team proves that The Fun is Getting It Done! In addition, a new season of Bob the Builder - Project Build It will air in September on PBS KIDS ®, where Bob's building adventures continue in Bobland Bay (check local listings).

DVD SYNOPSIS
Bob the Builder knows what it takes to build a hardy house and a safe playground, and he wants to share his knowledge with you! Combining vivid animation with live-action footage of real construction equipment in action, Bob and his Can-Do Crew break down the building process into engaging, easyto- follow segments demonstrating teamwork, safety and the role of each machine. Future contractors learn about making a detailed plan, what materials to use and the different kinds of homes and playgrounds, including the three stages of building a house: foundation, walls and a roof, and the three stages of building a playground: equipment, surface and fencing. See recycled tires, old tin cans and solar panels used to make houses environmentally friendly, and revel in giant machines demolishing old houses to build new ones. From demolition to framing to roofing, young builders experience the thrilling and exciting world of building construction! Also, you can sing along with the catchy "How Do You Build a House" and see how a skate park is built complete with ramps, slopes, dips and lots of turns!
