Blue's Big Musical Movie (2000 Film)

 (5 customer reviews)

As you notice, the music on "Blue's Clues" has a cooler sound than some other little kids shows. If you get the movie, Don't jump to conclusions about "You have the songs on the movie" because the Cd even includes stuff that wasn't heard in the movie. The first track "Today's the Big Day" the song Tickety sings was left out of the movie. Mr. Salt's opening on "Breakfast Song" isn't heard in the film, either, but part of the song is. On the cd "Silly Hat" Steve sings with Mr. Salt and Mailbox, not Slippery. "The Clipboard Shuffle" is different on the CD as well. "Dynamics" is also a leave-out and so is "As Smart as You", as for this song, I think it was left out, Because they thought it would bore the little ones. Another Leave-out "The Magic of Theater" was probably introduced to people who went to "Blue's Clues Live!". You'll notice on "There it is", that you won't hear Blue...Read more

I agree with most of the other reviewers: this is the best music for the car! It's jazzy/bluesy/big band, and it's music my husband and I are always tapping along to (and we're both musicians). We, too noticed the "Girl from Ipanema" sound to Steve's solo! A caveat: this is NOT a Blues Clues episode--it's a soundtrack, so don't expect dialog and a game of Blues Clues. I know purple dinosaur and other shows teach lots of great lessons, but Blues Clues has always had them beat when it comes to quality music. The only other kids music I enjoy this much is Veggie Tales! (check out Veggie Tunes!)Both Blues Clues and Veggie tapes(or CDs) are great "tantrum-squelcher" items, too. In case my daughter (a terrific two) is less-than-thrilled with being in her carseat, or whatever else is bothering her, within a second of this tape starting, she's got a smile on her face, and gets very excited. If you buy this knowing it's not an episode, you won't be disappointed!

And that, my friends, says a lot! Our 2 and a half year old has been bitten by the Blue Bug HARD. Bought as a last minute Christmas Gift, we have been listening to this non stop for 2 weeks now and still we are not annoyed. The music is peppy and lyrics are reasonably interesting. Steve's big solo "Smart like you" even has a strange "Girl form Ipanema" quality that my husband noticed immediately. The music styles are varied and well arranged.I knew that this was a nice CD, when my husband picked it up to take it in the car with him 2 nights ago. He never volunteers to take any children's music with him!
