DVD Reviews & Giveaway: The Zula Patrol

My family recently received several DVDs to review from The Zula Patrol series - Moons Mayhem and Animal Adventures in Space.


The Zula Patrol is an animated kids show. It's aimed at kids ages 4-5 to 9, though younger will probably enjoy it as well (some of the science may go over their heads) It teaches about space, the galaxy and our solar system, as well as a bit about earth. It features the characters Bula, Zeeter, Multo, Gorga, Wizzy, and Wigg, as well as others.


The Zula Patrol: Moons Mayhem DVD runs 70 minutes long, and features six different episodes, including "Moon Struck", where kids are taught exactly how unique each moon is, and "Three Ring Gorga", "Moons Mayhem", "Going Through A Phase", "Blue Moon", and "Me, Myself and Io". My personal favorite on the DVD was "Moon Struck".

The Zula Patrol: Animal Adventures in Space! DVD runs 68 minutes long, and features five episodes, including "Larvae or Leave Me", "Egg Hunt", "There Goes the Neighborhood", "Choosing Sides" and "Camp Worm". It also has five sing along Zula songs for your kids to enjoy as a bonus feature.

As a Mom, I loved the learning aspect of this show, and I think most kids love hearing about space, so it's a win-win situation. I will admit that the show grated on my nerves a little - I took the opportunity after a few episodes while it was on to do some cleaning in the kitchen. ;) It is cute though, and they will definitely be a repeat in our family!

If you're interested, your kids can also visit ZulaWorld.com (geared for ages 6-10), where they can learn all sorts of new things, and play fun games and activities. They can build their own alien with their alien maker. (this is fun!)

Win it! One lucky reader is going to win their own copy of The Zula Patrol: Moons Mayhem and The Zula Patrol: Animal Adventures in Space! To enter, I'd like to know your child(ren)'s favorite Zula patrol character, or if they've never seen this show before, their favorite learning show.

My three children ages 3-7 all love the magic school bus, which of course has its take on science also. Zula Patrol sounds very interesting for my kids, and I will definitly look into it. Thanks for the review!

My daughter (2yrs) adores Zula, and their theme song sticks in my head (anyone else find themselves humming it while washing dishes?). She seems to particularly like Gorga (the zula pet).
