PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Through the acclaimed Bob the Builder series, everyone knows that the Fun Is In Getting It Done. Now in this all-new full-length movie available exclusively on DVD, Bob the Builder, along with his business partner Wendy, introduce two new machines -- Gripper and Grabber -- to the Can-Do Crew. Together, the entire team unites to build a sports stadium in record time and win the gold for a job well done. Can they fix it? Yes they can!

DVD SYNOPSIS
Let the games begin! The Sunflower Valley Games have been announced and the community needs a new sports stadium. Who's the right construction team for the job? It's Bob the Builder and his Can-Do Crew! Bob and the machines welcome two new members: Gripper, a crane, and Grabber, an excavator. While ATV Scrambler sets out to train the Valley's athletes for the event, Bob and the Crew get to work to complete the job on time. Along the way, Gripper and Grabber try to acclimate to small town life and soon discover that despite being a winning twosome that always has fun together they can also have fun with others. Race to the finish line with Bob and his friends and see how teamwork and fun go hand-in-hand in this colossal building adventure.
