Barney's Rhyme Time Rhythm

Title card of Barney's Rhyme Time Rhythm.

Barney's Rhyme Time Rhythm is a 2000 direct-to-video Barney Home Video that was released on March 21, 2000. Directed by Jim Rowley and written by Stephen White, the video would later be shortened into the episode titled "A "Little" Mother Goose" which would be part of the sixth season of Barney & Friends. Unlike its Barney & Friends counterpart, this home video contained Scooter and Miss Etta's rhymes, Mother Goose land, appearances of BJ and Baby Bop, and a different arrangement of "I Love You" (the episode used the rendition from the fourth season).

Plot[]

Emily is struggling on writing an original rhyme for school. She dresses like Mother Goose to see if it would give her an idea, but she's still struggles with the assignment. Barney suggests that his friend Mother Goose could help her. Mother Goose drops by the treehouse to assist Emily with her assignment. The first thing she suggests for Emily to do is to smile when writing a rhyme. The other kids decide to also try their hand in writing a rhyme, prompting everyone to go have fun on the school's playground. After having fun on the playground, they all decide to go inside the classroom to see if they could get more ideas of rhymes. The gang eventually heads back outside and sing rhymes about sheep. Discussing about animals, Barney tells the rhyme of "This is the House that Jack Built", which is a rhyme that has lots of animals. Feeling right at home by everyone doing many Mother Goose Rhymes, Mother Goose suggests they all visit her land to get more ideas for rhymes. With a little imagination, everyone arrives at The Land of Mother Goose. Going inside her home, Mother Goose shares various things from various Nursery Rhymes. The gang eventually spots BJ outside dressed as Simple Simon and later see Baby Bop singing "A Tisket, A Tasket". The little dinos soon join the others in the Nursery Rhyme festivities. Excluding BJ and Baby Bop, everyone arrives back at the treehouse smiling and laughing. Noticing that everyone is all smiles, Barney suggests that it would be a great time for everyone to write their rhymes. After they finished writing their own Rhymes, they share with each other by reading-aloud. Given how good they were, Mother Goose decides to go home to write them in her book of rhymes. The children eventually leave Barney to go share their rhymes with the other children. Before she leaves with the others, Emily shares one more rhyme with Barney.

Production[]

According to Stephen White, the sets for Barney's Rhyme Time Rhythm were going to be expensive, however, it would become affordable if the budgets for a home videos and an episode for PBS were combined, hence why the video was also condensed into an episode for Barney & Friends.
