Barney

"Hop to It!" is the fourth episode from the first season of Barney & Friends.

Plot[]

It's exercise day! It's time for Barney to show his friends that turning young bodies into strong bodies can be great fun! How does he do it? With a grand group of games, puzzles, twists, and turns. Barney's buddies put on a fantastic follow-the-leader, they play "animals in motion" and Barney himself leads the gang in a great version of "shape-up freeze." The children find out you can do big things if you stick to it. And how good it feels to keep your body movin'.

Adaptation[]

Hachaverim Shel Barney[]

  • This episode (which is called "Hands on the Head" in that production), after the kids get Barney unstuck, if one look carefully behind the tree, they can see Baby Bop. Also in the same scene the "Barney Theme Song" is heard.
  • When the kids were looking for Dana, the Barney doll can be seen even though Barney had already came to life after Dana sung her sad song.
  • When Barney and the kids go outside to play "Follow the Leader", Tal can be seen going down one of the slides.
  • The song, "Animals in Motion", was shortened.

Trivia[]

  • Moral: Being physically fit is important.
  • This episode marked:
    • The only episode in which every song (save for the "Barney Theme Song" and "I Love You") is a new Barney song.
    • The first time Baby Bop magically appears.
    • The first time in which "I Love You" is sung as a duet.
    • The first time Baby Bop appeared without Kathy.
  • This episode reveals that Min does not like to take naps.
  • A different Barney doll is used at the beginning of this episode. It would later be seen again in "Going Places!".
  • In this episode, Barney's voice sounds a bit dry, as in the final two Barney & The Backyard Gang videos, "Barney in Concert" and "Rock with Barney". This may mean this was one of the first episodes filmed for this season, and that would happen for some other episodes as well.
  • Behind-the-scenes footages from this episode was shown in the documentary series, I Love You, You Hate Me.

Release date[]

  • This episode aired on Todd Duffey's eighteenth birthday.
