My son is 3 and a enormous fan of Jay Jay the Jet Plane. I purchased this DVD because it has a memoir we had already seen and liked, Jay Jay and the Magic Books. To those modern to Jay Jay the Jet Plane, each episode features computer intriguing airplanes with human faces. Jay Jay and his friends have the voices of children, and ther are also “adult” planes who offer guidance. Human characters (not piquant) also interact with the planes. Every episode features a song.

Unfortunately, after a few viewings of this video, my son became bored with it. Personally, I mediate the quality of the writing and human character acting is variable. Another disappointment for my son is that Revvin’ Evan isn’t featured in any of the stories, although he is misleadingly shown on the mask of the disk next to the two Pangabula Island stories. So, I have to interpret time after time to my son that Evan isn’t in the video.
Here are the stories, and some comments:

TRIP TO SKYLANDIA: Jay Jay chooses faith over logic when a dream about a kingdom in the clouds convinces him that it’s dependable. The plane characters appear in the dream with different names and “costumes.” This chronicle seems better safe to one of the Inspirational Jay Jay collections, and is not a proper introduction to the series because of the character name changes.
JAY JAY’S BUTTERFLY ADVENTURE: Jay Jay tries to accept a winter home for Breezy the Butterfly, only to learn with relief that he already has one. Cute record with some true info about monarch butterflies. Brenda Blue is annoyingly dismissive of Jay Jay’s questions about Breezy–my only exact gripe.
JAY JAY AND THE MAGIC BOOKS: Jay Jay and Tracy consume a rainy day at the library. Jay Jay learns that you can go on an adventure without even leaving home. Both underwater and outer site stories are included, and the featured song is very soothing. The librarian is hearing impaired, so label language is featured. This is level-headed my son’s approved episode.
TUFFY’S Stagger TO PANGABULA: Tuffy straps on a balloon to cruise to Pangabula Island and join his friends. She can’t steer so Captain Wentworth and her boat approach to the rescue. Tuffy then returns the favor. This episode is marred by the appearance of Mr. Crabby, the first mate to Captain Wentworth. Mr. Crabby is supposed to be like Gilligan, but is more annoying than comic.
TUFFY’S ADVENTURE IN PANGABULA: Tuffy has a difficult time getting around on an island that has no roads. But she saves the day by rescuing the Sparkleberry tree. The premise of a sacred tree that likes to be harvested is a shrimp overdone. The human actor in this tale portrays a stereotyped Pacific Islander.
Nothing gets killed or blows up. Sterling life lessons and ample characters. I was proud to be a joystick-animator on this series.
