Los Angeles, New York (PRWEB) June 26, 2008 -- Just as families head-out for summer vacation, Bob the Builder heads to Bobland Bay to embark on some beach-building fun as Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment present the all-new Bob the Builder: Let's Build the Beach DVD. Bob the Builder and his machine team are always ready to tackle any project. As they hammer out solutions that lead to a job well done, Bob and the Can-Do Crew demonstrate the power of positive thinking, problem-solving, teamwork and follow-through. Most importantly, from start to finish, the team always shows that The Fun is Getting It Done!

In Bob the Builder: Let's Build the Beach join Bob and his Can-Do Crew as they welcome exciting new machine team members Splasher and Bristle to Bobland Bay. Bob is going to need a lot of help to build this new seaside town, so grab your hard hats, buckle up your tool belts and get ready to have some fun with everyone's favorite builder in these five all-new, never-before-seen episodes:

--"Lofty's Comet" - Bob and the team are busy building an observatory. When Lofty climbs a mountain to get a better look at the comet, he gets stuck. Will Lofty get back in time to see it with the others?

--"Spud and the Hotel" - When the first guests arrive at the Bobland Bay hotel, Spud helps out by doing every job, with chaotic results. When the new manager arrives, Spud is very pleased to go back to the quiet life of a scarecrow!

--"Tumbler's Perfect Promenade" - Tumbler wants to help design the new promenade, but can't come up with an idea. When some friendly animals leave their tracks in his wet cement the Bobland Bay Walk of Fame is born!

--"Clean as a Whistle Bristle" - As Bob and the team prepare for the opening ceremony, Bristle, the street-cleaner, arrives to clean the town. When important items are missing Bob puts the clues together and they all point to Bristle! Is he really the culprit?

--"Super-Splasher" - Splasher, an amphibious vehicle, arrives to take the hotel guests for sight-seeing tours. After a brave water rescue, he becomes known as Super-Splasher. Determined to live up to his new name, he rescues some people who don't need rescuing!

Special features on the DVD include bonus episodes each of Fireman Sam? - "Danger, Falling Sheep" and Fifi and the Flowertots? - "Stingo Gets Stuck"

The building adventures in Bobland Bay continue in September when fourteen new episodes of Bob the Builder - Project Build It, set at this seaside location, air on PBS KIDS® (check local listings).
