VIDEO & AUDIO:
“Team Umizoomi: Umigames” is fully rendered in CG with occasional appearances by real life kids who interact with the team. The series is presented in full screen format and the DVD is presented in Dolby Digital English Stereo. There are no subtitles but Closed Captions are included.
The series is among the newer series on “Nick Jr.” and is vibrant with colors and for the most part, PQ is very good! In fact, it’s probably the most detailed animated children’s show on television right now.
As for audio, dialogue is easily clear and had no problems with video or audio during my viewing of the four episodes.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
“Team Umizoomi: Umigames” comes with no special features.
“Team Umizoomi” has been getting a lot of buzz by many parents due to its colorful and detailed presentation, its music and for an educational children’s animated series, math is the series’ biggest feature, which is wonderful for the younger children who are learning math for the first time!
And it’s about time that Nickelodeon showcased a newer educational series (which I have to say, looks very awesome in character design and detailed colorful art backgrounds) that focuses primarily on math but also helping children in making decisions with the choices presented to them in each episode. So, children will learn about numbers, shapes, counting, patterns and more!
With the release of “Team Umizoomi: Umigames”, the episodes are pretty fun as the theme is pretty much about games and features the characters visiting various areas, such as the Umi Games, the Boardwalk, the circus and also going around the city. But if anything, you get four fun, educational episodes that your children will absolutely love!
For the most part, your young children will love this entertaining and colorful series and parents who want to encourage their children in learning math… “Team Umizoomi: Umigames” is highly recommended!
