DVD Review & Giveaway: Go Diego Go! Rainforest Fiesta!

We're big fans of Nickelodeon's Dora and Diego over here. I love that kids can learn about nature, animal rescue, and a little bit of Spanish, which is important in our family as we want our mija to be fully bi-lingual. I also know I can turn on these shows and not worry that something inappropriate might appear.


Go Diego Go! Rainforest Fiesta! is the latest DVD in the collection for the pre-school crowd. It features four different animated episodes, including "Diego and Porcupine Save the Piñata", "A New Flamingo Mami", "Macky the Macaroni Penguin", and "Linda the Llama Saves Carnaval".


As always with the Dora and Diego series, it's totally interactive and this DVD features an exclusive fun little DVD game called "Count Diego Count" that your kids can play.

The feature episode, "Diego and Porcupine Save the Piñata", has Diego and Alicia throwing a birthday party for Porcupine. The piñata accidentally floats off, and the hunt to get the piñata back is on!

We give this DVD two little thumbs up!

Go Diego Go! Rainforest Fiesta runs about 96 minutes, and was released on March 31st, 2009. You can buy it now at your local video store or online at Amazon.

Win it! I get to give one of my readers and their family their own copy of Go Diego Go! Rainforest Fiesta! To enter, tell me either what your family's favorite episode from Diego was about, or what you like best about the Diego series.

I love that it teaches my kids all about different animals and different cultures

nicki72182 said...

My son is a huge Diego fan so you can imagine how many episodes of Diego I've watched :) My favorite is the episode about the blue morpho butterfly. And that's because butterfly was my son's first big word (besides mom and dad...etc). Although at first it sounded more like "uberbly"...it was close enough :) Thanks for the giveaway! My son would be thrilled if we won this.

My sons favorite episode was when Diego had to have the moon (only it was lunar or whatever the spanish name for moon is) help the baby sea turtles get to the sea. He also liked the tree frogs on the log episode. We watch him everyday.

What I like about the Diego series is that it teaches the same problem solving skills as the Dora series. My 4 year old nephew won't watch Dora because "its for girls - ew" (hey he's that age) but he loves watching Diego!

itsahumanzoo said...

I love Diego because he teaches my son to be adventurous, and my son doesn't know that he's learning a little spanish too. :)

My grandson really likes Diego...he dressed like him for the pre-school Halloween party. He lives in a multi-cultural neighborhood and it is great that some Spanish is incorporated.

We love Diego because it teaches about animals, includes Spanish language instruction, and encourages our daughter to interact. The repetitive nature of the content is also great for teaching the developmental stage it's geared toward. Thanks for the chance to enter!

My daughter's favorite episode is "Diego and Porcupine Save the Pinata" She loved it and really thought that if she held too many ballons she could float away like the Pinata.

CAmom04 said...

Go Diego Go and Dora the Explorer are my four-year-old son's two favorite shows and he loves watching them and I love the positive messages that are taught in the series. I appreciate the fact that my son learns many animals, especially those outside of the typical "dog, cat, horse, etc." He learns the importance of taking care of animals and working through problems. Great stuff!

Kathy said...

What a nice dvd! My granddaughters love Dora and Diego because like them, they are so adventurous!

Jammie said...

I love how it teaches me daughter spanish. She is always coming and telling me new words she has learned from both deigo and dora

liliesrnice said...

I am new to motherhood and all the new kids shows. My SIL however says her son loves Diego because he gets to learn words in a new language and animals he may have as stuffed animals. SO i think this dvd would be great for my new little one.

My son loves the Penguin episode when Diego helps the Penguin find the right species of Penguins that he belongs with.

I like that diego is multicultural and focuses on animal and wildlife in many of the storylines...

sherri419 said...

My favorite part of the Diego series is that it teaches about different cultures in a respectful way. Several shows now depict the Latin culture in a negative way. Thanks!

Courtney said...

My daughter is obsessed with Dora and so, by extension, Diego. She loves animals and Diego is more animal-centric than Dora is, so that's what our favorite part is.

Thanks for the opportunity!
