Oswald - Best Buddies [VHS]
In this quartet of friendship stories, the first two focus on the relationship between the blue octopus and his best friend Henry the penguin. When Henry's cousin from the Frozen North comes to town, Oswald feels left out as the birds bond over mackerel and polka. In the next story, he faces every child's fear when Henry decides to move north with his cousin. But unlike real life, Henry has a change of heart and decides to stay with his friends only to fight with Daisy in the next episode after she uses his spoon as a shovel. The final episode finds all the friends overcoming obstacles to see a musical act together. This Nick Jr. series features kid-friendly voices from the expected--cartoon veteran Debi Derryberry andThe Wonder Years' Fred Savage--as well as the unexpected:Laverne and Shirley's David Lander and earlySNLregular Laraine Newman.
