Nothing beats being part of a club with your best friends! Barney and his friends sure know the feeling and invite children everywhere to join in on the fun in Hi! I'm Riff!, the latest title featuring everyone's favorite purple dinosaur, available on DVD May 6, 2008 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and HIT Entertainment

Barney's new friend Riff is the first new dino to join Barney & Friends™ in 13 years. He is a six-year-old Hadrosaur and a one-of-a-kind kid! Riff is BJ and Baby Bop's cousin, and he is all about music - music is in his voice, his heart and his every move! Riff also loves hanging out with his friends. Reveling in the time he spends with his pals, Riff decides to start a new club and invites everyone to join. It's going to take lots of ideas - and some fun singing and dancing - to decide what kind of club is right for everyone.

Hi! I'm Riff! Synopsis:

Should Riff start a Bird-Watching Club? He did have lots of fun watching new ducklings hatch ("Do What the Duckies Do). Or should it be a Baseball Club like the one his pal BJ suggested? Even though the sport is not his forte, he still has fun playing with everyone ("Best Friends is What We'll Be). What about Baby Bop's idea of a Dancing Club? After all, no one can resist doing the "Baby Bop Hop or the electrifying energy of the Kenyan performance troupe that comes to dance up a storm on a visit to the playground.

Considering Barney's Imagination Club ("Hey, Look at Me, I Can Fly!) and his own enthusiastic interest in inventing music ("You Can Make Music With Anything), Riff ultimately forms The Best Friends Club, where everyone can do all these different things and more, and most importantly, do them together and have a Dino-mite time!
