Watch With Your Kids: Wishbone

Wishbone Any DVD that features a dog as the protagonist scores major points in our book, and Wishbone ($9.98, Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment) doesn't disappoint. So get ready for a terrier-ific time jumping into beloved tales such as Robin Hood and Hunchback of Notre Dame, all told through the eyes of an adorable Jack Russell terrier with a penchant for daydreaming. Wishbone imagines himself as the hero of famous classic novels and invites his audience to come along for the journey. The kids will love Wishbone, and the literary buffs in the family will enjoy the canine interpretation of many classic works. That sounds pretty woof-tastic to us.
