Blue's Big Musical Movie

***Yes, Blue's Big Musical Adventure is a movie about a CGI dog of an unnatural hue aimed at the Juicebox set.***

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's talk about Steve Burns. WHAT A GUY. It doesn't seem like there'd be much at all to singing a bunch of cheerful, encouraging songs to toddlers, and waiting for them to yell out answers when you find a "clue." But, as the sole human of the house, Burns does all his work in front of a bluescreen (no pun intended.) Must get pretty lonely, don't you think? If not for the neon fur and disproportionate features of Blue, I'd believe Steve was really talking to his cuddly costar - the man's that fantastic.

Ok, I'm 21, and my girlfriend just bought me this movie on DVD, and I loved it. The movie is made for preschoolers, sure, but I don't see how anyone cannot just fall in love with adorable little Blue. She's the cutest little pup around, and Steve is pretty cool himself. The entire gang is here for this adventure, Blue, Steve, Salt and Pepper Shaker, Paprika, Magenta, Green, Side Table Drawer, Tickety Tock, Slippery Soap...almost all of them have major roles in this movie, and they all add their own little nuances. The music is really cool, with Ray Charles doing a bit when Blue scadoos into sheet music, and Steve learns how to make music. The persuasions, a group I've never heard of till now do music in the same scene as the notes on the sheet music. The whole idea of the movie is that the gang is going to have a music show in the backyard. They make costumes, snacks, build the stage, and everything else. It's fun to watch over and over, and when you learn all the music, it's kinda nifty to sing along. Just like the series, the movie incorporates learning into the story, each scene getting a bit more challenging than the last. If you're a Blue fan, you have to get this movie, and if you think you might like it, do the same, it's a great movie that is well written and thoroughly enjoyable.

When I was little, I had this movie on VHS. I was a huge "Blue's Clues" fan and the series was where I learned some basic knowledge. Knowing that I loved the show, my mom used to buy me toy Handy Dandy Notebooks, but my dog kept chewing on them. I loved the songs and the subject matter of the story; learning to not give up, know what you want to be when you grow up, and how to make up a song. I like Steve (he was always really cool), Blue, and the Amazing Periwinkle (he was cool too). This movie is where I first knew the name and voice of blues singer Ray Charles, who voiced the talking G-clef. I'm 22 years old now, and I still remember watching this amazing movie from when I was little. I just wish watch it again.

My 2 year old LOVES Blue's Clues, and saw every episode while it was free on Amazon Prime over and over. I'd rate that show 10 stars. This movie, however, doesn't quite capture the show's level of excellence. Probably because it's trying to stretch the exact same elements from 25 minutes into an hour plus long movie and you can feel the middle dragging.

Okay, first the good. Almost all of the characters from the TV show (at the time this movie was made) are in this movie and it's fun to see so many of them together. As always, Steve, our sole live actor, does a fantastic job! As a unique twist, Steve gets a chance to find a clue (rather than the audience pointing them out to him).

The bad: The boring middle section. In the middle, Steve gets a music lesson and I think it's something like 15 minutes of lesson. My two year old got bored at this point EVERY TIME we watched this. He'd wander off. And it isn't the length of show because he'll watch episode after episode in a row if I let him. It's just that the music lesson isn't engaging, either visually or any other way. In the end, I've taken to skipping it for every showing. That's a large chunk of this movie that's "wasted".

Overall, this isn't a bad movie. For a 2 year old, I'd say it is probably one of the best things out there, actually! But if you have to choose, I'd highly recommend buying the episodes over the movie.
