Disney Junior Bunnytown Game

I got the opportunity to review an educational software that is available for children to play via the Disney Junior website. The game that I chose to review is Bunnytown Ice Cream Parlor. The reason behind my decision to review this game, is because I was curious as to if the game was actually educational for children. There are many games available online for children to play, however, not all are as educational as others.

The Bunnytown Ice Cream Parlor is a software that consists of four main bunnies who are in an ice cream parlor waiting to be served. The player (child) gets to act as the ice cream parlor's server. The child is able to follow the bunnies' instructions and serve the bunnies their correct order. This is one version of the software. The second version of the software allows the child to play with an adult. In the adult version, the adult is able to choose how many scoops of a certain flavour they would like the bunny to ask for. The bunny would then ask for that order allowing for the child to develop their listening skills and follow instructions. The best feature of the software is that they provided two versions. The reason being is because it allows parents and teachers to interact with the children as they play. Another feature of the software that I thought was important, is the usage of manners. This software promotes positive behaviour and manners throughout the entire duration of the game. For example, when a bunny orders they may say 'I'd like some pink strawberry swirl please, one scoop'. After being served correctly, the bunny says 'perfect, thanks!' The software also allows children to count from 1-4 and recognize the six colours: yellow, green, red, purple, pink, and blue.

This software would be developmentally appropriate for children of ages 2.5-4. Younger children may play with the assistance of an adult, as older children would be able to play independently. The software provides the children with a narrator to repeat instructions for the children to listen to if they forget the first time around. The narrator is also very encouraging and allows for trial and error. For example, if the bunny ordered 4 scoops of yellow lemon pucker but the child only clicked one scoop, the narrator will say 'keep going, you need 3 more scoops to fill the cone'. If the child clicks the wrong flavour, nothing happens which also allows for trial and error as they get an opportunity to find the correct flavour.

Although the software has many beneficial features, there are a couple limitations that can be improved on. The first limitation would be that there are only 6 flavours and the maximum amount of scoops per cone is 4. This limitation does not allow for much choice or variety for the children to be provided with. The second limitation is that there is only one level/one scenery throughout the duration of the game. Once the child fulfills the orders of the four bunnies, the game ends.

To overcome these limitations, there can be different flavours added or allow flavours to mix to make the software more challenging for the older children. For example, a bunny may ask for one scoop of red cherry chip and two scoops blue berry blast on the same cone. To make the software even more challenging, an option of toppings can also be included. With this in mind, different levels of difficulty can even be added such as easy, medium, hard. This will allow the children to choose which level of difficulty they want to play. Or instead of easy, medium, hard, the levels can continuously progress from 1-10 as the level also progress in difficulty. Each level may also allow for the bunnies to change scenery such as in a park, in a mall, etc., instead of constantly staying in the ice cream parlor.

Aside from the limitations, I still believe the game is a simple and effective way for younger children to learn their numbers and colours. I would recommend for ECEs and parents to play this software with their children. This software would be beneficial to a preschool childcare setting and is sure to be loved by the children!

Below is a demonstration of the software for you to judge for yourself whether or not the software is developmentally appropriate.

Disney Junior Bunnytown Ice Cream Game

Bunnytown is an American children's television program that aired on Playhouse Disney in the United States and Great Britain, as well as more than seventy other countries. In 2011, Relient K covered the show's theme song for Disney Junior – Live on Stage! Reruns of the show did air afterwards, although it appeared in the weekends, continuing until February 2011, when it became Disney Junior.

Bunnytown Ice Cream Playhouse Disney

Broadcast history[edit]

The program, created by David Rudman, his brother Adam and Todd Hannert, under their Spiffy Pictures banner, began airing in Canada on November 3, 2007, and in the USA a week later.

United Kingdom viewers got a premiere of the program on January 13, 2008 on the Playhouse Disney channel sublet of pay-broadcaster Family Channel. In France, the series began on January 27, 2008, and kept its original title Bunnytown. The show was produced at Elstree Studios with many of the 'Peopletown' segment exterior scenes done at Clarence Park and Verulamium Park in St Albans.

The series ran for 1 season and 26 episodes total, which finished its run on November 8, 2008.

It is unknown when will it be available to Disney plus.

Format[edit]

The basic format features between ten and twelve segments as follows:

• A ski race, played out in four parts such as kids getting ready to race while Max Mekker, Alfa and Bjarne Betjent, but instead ballet dancing in the first part, then sleeping in the second part, followed by flying in the third part, and then finally racing in the last part, with the payoff that a rubber band is at the finish line, and they fly back to the starting point.
• Red and Fred, a silent comedy-slapstick pratfall team in Peopletown made up of a fat ginger haired man and a smaller, thin dark haired male, played by Ed Gaughan and Andrew Buckley. This is done in the vein of Laurel and Hardy, who have the same style as Red and Fred. On the US broadcast they are known as 'Two Best Friends'.
• The Adventures of Super-Bunny, created new for Bunnytown follows the format of Little Bad Bunny stealing carrots from Bunnytown, and Super-Bunny comes to the rescue.
• The Bunnytown Hop, done by a rock-and-roll band inspired by mega groups such as Earth Wind and Fire.
• Super Silly Sports, also held in Peopletown, hosted by Pinky Pinkerton (portrayed by Scottish actress Polly Frame), best known for her wearing a pink Alice band in her blonde bouffant hairdo along with a matching neck scarf and sportsjacket over a white tennis dress, along with pink and white-striped above-the-knee socks. An example of this spoofing of sports contests and their telecasts within is a staring contest between an 11-year-old boy and an Idaho potato (because both of them have 'eyes'). Pinky's signature exclamation is 'Oh me, oh my!' done multiple times.
• Following the payoff of the running gag, all of the bunnies gather to sing the closing song 'It's A Bunnytown Life'.
• Currently the Bunnytown segments, Two Best Friends (Red and Fred) and Super Silly Sports are being shown in bumper segments on Disney Junior and Disney Junior Night Light.

Puppets, characters and sets[edit]

The bunny rod puppets (which take up to eight puppeteers to operate with a trigger at the bottom to move their mouths and invisible marionette strings to work from above on all other parts) are made from foam rubber and covered in fake fur. Csgo surfing simulator.

Characters include the many types of characters found in pop culture and storybooks. Included are a king and his court (supposedly the leaders of Bunnytown as they live in a castle), pirates, a superhero bunny, a female bunny who is an astronaut, two cave bunnies and their pet dinosaur, an inventor, a farmer and his helpers and many more.
