They’re in control and ready to roll! Wilson, Koko and Brewster are back and raring to go in “Chug Patrol: Ready to Rescue,” the newest action-packed title in the preschool-favorite “Chuggington™” DVD collection from Anchor Bay Entertainment. “Chug Patrol: Ready to Rescue” brings the horn-honking fun to a whole new level! The title features six action-packed episodes, including the never-before-seen, super-sized special set to launch on Disney Junior and Disney Channel. The new DVD also gives “Chuggington” fans the opportunity to meet new characters, including Chug Patrol Chief Jackman and super-speedy Hanzo! “Chug Patrol: Ready to Rescue” puts its “wheels to the rails” at retailers nationwide on August 20, 2013.

In this collection of exciting adventures, Wilson, Koko and Brewster are moving up to the next level of training. Together, the trainees compete to be part of the Rescue Squad, undergo special crane training and help Piper learn a very important safety lesson.
Among the six shows included in the latest “Chuggington” release is the action packed “Chug Patrol: Ready to Rescue” special slated to premiere on Disney Junior and Disney Channel this fall. In this super-sized episode, Wilson takes on new challenges and makes daring rescues as the newest member of Chuggington’s emergency rescue squad.

And to celebrate the latest adventures in Chuggington, each purchase of “Chug Patrol: Ready to Rescue” comes with a free Chug Patrol sticker sheet, featuring the new characters. My son and I received this to review and although he is slightly too old for it, he agreed that it is great for younger kids!
