Young Viewers Follow the Tracks to Fun with Latest ‘Chuggington’ DVD From Anchor Bay Entertainment – August 14, 2012

May 8, 2012 – Full steam ahead!  Preschoolers from coast-to-coast will “honk their horns” for “Traintastic Adventures,” the newest addition to the award-winning hit “Chuggington^™” DVD series from Anchor Bay Entertainment, when it pulls into retail on August 14, 2012.  The brand-new collection of fun-filled episodes with relatable themes and positive messages will entertain young trainees as it helps them learn to ride the rails of life.

A colorful and contemporary CGI-animated TV series from Ludorum that reinforces early social readiness skills, “Chuggington” airs daily on Disney Junior, Disney Channel’s programming block for kids ages 2-7 and their families, and on the new 24-hour Disney Junior basic cable and satellite channel.

“‘Traintastic Adventures’ is action-packed with thrilling quests and important life lessons for preschoolers,” said Erin Carter, Executive Director of Brand Marketing, Anchor Bay Entertainment.  “We’re pleased to add this newest title to our library of popular ‘Chuggington’ DVDs – and to give fans of the series even more to love.”

“Traintastic Adventures” features six engaging episodes – plus a bonus Badge Quest short – filled with upbeat stories and fortified with positive messages designed to keep preschoolers on the right track as they learn and grow.  In “The Brewster Booster,” Brewster tests out the Booster, a new invention from Dr. Ling that can help make Chuggers go faster than ever.  But with his new super-speedy ability comes an important lesson in responsibility too….  And, in “Koko’s New Look,” Koko sees the pretty design that Lori painted on Zephie’s face and she wants one too!  When the two friends find themselves competing for the biggest and best design, things get out of hand and their “new look” includes spiders and a moustache!  Koko and Zephie soon learn they don’t need a new look after all – they’re both beautiful just as they are!    

Additional episodes on the new release include: “Lights, Camera, Action Chugger,” which follows Action Chugger as he comes to town to film a movie; “Wilson And The Steam Team,” where Speedy and Harrison each lead a team in a “chug of war” competition to decide who will collect rolling rock from the mine; “Stunt Brewster,” in which Brewster and Koko accompany Action Chugger to a film shoot to learn stunts and “Hodge and the Chugnav,” in which Hodge takes matters into his own “hands” and tries to fix the track lift.  Inside the DVD, young fans will find an exciting surprise: four collectible trading cards featuring their favorite Chuggers!  With a series of 22 different trading cards, preschoolers will be honking their horns for all the “Chuggington” characters.

To celebrate the release of “Traintastic Adventures,” “Chuggington” fans nationwide will have the opportunity to enter a Traintastic Adventure sweepstakes.  One grand prize winner will receive a Delta Vacations trip to Colorado, including roundtrip airfare for four, car rental and hotel accommodations at a participating Delta Vacations hotel.  In addition, the grand prize winner and their family can visit the Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, featuring more than 360 acres of trains, history and fun, or ride the rails on one of the most treasured scenic railroads in the U.S. through the Royal Gorge.
