About the show

The Busy Little Engine DVD Front Cover
click to enlarge
"It's a very busy day in Dinkytown...." A little wooden train is pretending to be a real train, but he doesn't know much about what real trains do - he's only ever seen them at crossing gates. With some help from the Narrator and lots of imagination, the Busy Little Engine and his friend, Pig, have a lot of fun learning about what trains do all day!

Gentle transitions and easy pacing are appropriate for even the youngest viewers. Magical animations, real trains, and the loveable Pig make it fun for all ages (even parents and grandparents)!


Special Features include:
  • Jump right to your favorite parts with Scene Selection
  • Sing along with Pig in three original Sing-Along videos (lyric sheet included)
  • See how the show was made in "Making The Busy Little Engine"

About Busy Little Studios

Since 2005, Busy Little Studios has been a producer of fun and gently-paced videos "illuminating the workings of the world for young children." Creative Director Desmond Mullen's background includes work with George Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic, Silicon Valley's Rocket Science Games and WebTV Networks, and creation of world-renowned science education shows at Morehead Planetarium and Science Center including Mary Pope Osborne's Magic Tree House: Space Adventure.

"By focusing on a toy that is familiar to most children, we can present concepts about how the world works in a way that even the youngest child can understand and apply to his or her own life," Mullen says. He adds, "The excitement that a child has when he sees a thing in the real world that he recognizes, or when he applies a concept he's learned to a new situation, is wonderful. That thrill of discovery of the world is infectious. That's what I love about helping children understand the world around them."
