Do you remember Wubbzy?
The cute and quirky bendy-tailed star of the Nick Jr. TV series Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, is pumped up and ready for the Winter Olympics too. In the newest installment of the DVD series from Anchor Bay Entertainment, starring Michelle Kwan as Michelle Kwanzleberry and Tiki Barber as Touchdown Tiki, Wubbzy is going for the gold!

Wubbzy and his pals start getting geared up to compete in the big event, the Wuzzleburg Wacky Dash, and Michelle advises them to prepare, practice, and have fun! While Wubbzy, Widget, and Walden all devise shortcuts they hope will help them reach the finish line the fastest, Daizy helps her friends – and young viewers – learn that slow and steady wins the race! This 82 minute DVD “Go for Gold” shoots for the stars with a high-energy, fun-filled collection of athletic-themed episodes that will get kids and families laughing, singing, and moving along. In addition to the show, this DVD includes coloring pages, activity pages, and music videos.
