This video commemorates 20 years of Barney by bringing together the best moments from the show's long history. It is filled with all of the adorable songs, characters, and stories that have made the show such a success over the years. The video also includes a section called Barney's Karaoke, which allows little ones to have sing-a-long time with their favorite purple dinosaur.
So many young children have fallen in love with Barney over the years because the episodes are friendly and engaging. They are interactive through questions and songs, and a young viewer will feel like the characters are speaking directly to them. Perhaps most importantly, the songs are ridiculously catchy and encourage young viewers to sing and learn new words.
My younger brother just turned 20 and grew up just as Barney was becoming a household name. He is not familiar with any of the new shows for children but impressed my niece, Audrey, with his knowledge of Barney songs. Watching the two of them giggle and dance to this video was something that I never thought I'd see, but it will likely provoke supreme silliness from your family as well.
