User:JigglypuffGuy04/sandbox/Bob the Builder: A Christmas To Remember

Bob the Builder: A Christmas To Remember is a British family Christmas special of the Bob the Builder franchise and is the very first special ever produced for the show. It also stars Elton John playing as himself.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The stop-motion animation is fantastic as usual and is also a step-up to the original show, with the lighting in particular being much better than how it looked previously.
 * 2) As usual, the voice acting is amazing, mainly in the UK version, thanks to many of the voice actors from the TV show reprising their roles.
 * 3) It has some charmingly funny moments, notably with the scenes with Spud and the fairy statue, in which he does a funny dance with the statue at first, ends up breaking its arm, hides it, and then the next day, he dresses up as the fairy statue to hide the fact he broke the old one.
 * 4) A clever guest appearance by none other than Elton John himself.
 * 5) The scene where Elton John performs "Crocodile Rock" and all the characters sing and dance to it is a heartwarmingly enjoyable scene to watch.
 * 6) It began the Bob the Builder specials on a high note.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Although the UK version is amazing, the US version dub is slightly inferior, with the US voices not being quite as charming as the ones in the UK are.
 * 2) While Tom is a likable character, he sadly became a somewhat forgotten character and was written off from the series, where he doesn't get any any appearances at all outside of this special, and the only three episodes where he was mentioned outside of A Christmas To Remember was in "Bob's Big Plan", "While Bob's Away, Robert Will Play" and "Bob's Beach Hut".
