DVD out called Super Daniel which features 8 Grr-ific tales plus a bonus story.
Zoom! Super Daniel is always ready to save the day! There are lots of ways for
a young tiger like Daniel to be brave and adventurous such as using his “super
powers” to help out friends and solving problems by coming up with his own

oneself can make anyone feel like a superhero.
Whether Daniel Tiger is playing with friends, riding on Trolley or
spending the day with his Grandpere life in the neighborhood is always an
adventure.
The DVD Has the following shows
Super
Daniel: Daniel and Grandpère are at home pretending to be
superheroes when Daniel notices that Dad has forgotten to take his lunch to
work with him. He and Grandpère take Dad’s lunchbox to the Clock Factory, and
Daniel uses his imagination to have several super adventures along the way.
Daniel Doesn’t Want to Stop Playing: Daniel is playing “Trolley” with Mom and Dad in the
living room. When Mom tells him that it’s time to work on his school project,
Daniel doesn’t want to stop playing. Mom helps Daniel move on by allowing him
to pick one more thing to do with his toy Trolley. Daniel makes one last stop
and then he’s ready to work on his project.
Daniel Fixes Trolley: Daniel accidentally breaks one of his toy trolley’s wheels
while playing. When Mom is too busy to help Daniel put the wheel back on she
urges him to try to figure it out on his own and explains that fixing it on his
own will make him feel good about himself.
Daniel Tries a New Food: Miss Elaina is having dinner with the
Tiger family, and she encourages Daniel to try some new foods: Veggie Spaghetti
and Banana Swirl. Daniel is convinced he won’t like Veggie Spaghetti, even
though he’s never tried it before. Miss Elaina encourages him to be adventurous
and try it. She does the same herself, and even though she doesn’t like all of
it, she’s proud of herself for trying.
Daniel is Big Enough to Help Dad: Dad Tiger is building a playhouse, and Daniel wants
to help out. Daniel is frustrated that he is not big enough to use the grown-up
tools. Dad Tiger shows Daniel that he is just the right size for doing many
things to help

playdate at the castle. As they play “knights,” they discover that, although
Chrissie needs some help walking, they are the same in many ways.
Daniel’s
Friend Say No When Daniel gets to school; he
approaches Miss Elaina to play with her, but is frustrated when he finds that
she would rather read alone. Daniel learns that sometimes his friends might not
want to play with him and that’s OK because he can find fun things to do on his
own.
Prince Wednesday Doesn’t Want to Play When Daniel gets to the park, Prince Tuesday and
Prince Wednesday are playing together. Daniel wants to join in, but is upset
because Prince Wednesday only wants to play with his brother. Soon O arrives,
and they both figure out that they can play together since Wednesday and
Tuesday are having “brother time”.
Bonus
episode Goodnight Daniel: Tonight, Daniel is
pretending to be Super Daniel! But after dinner, he has to follow his nighttime
routine even though he would rather play. Young viewers follow Daniel as he
gets ready for bed and eventually learns that even superheroes get sleepy.
My
Opinion: This is a cute movie for ages 2 to 4 year olds with great adventure
sin learning about people and trying new things.
