It’s Bob the Builder and his Can-Do Crew! Bob and the machines welcome two new members: Gripper, a crane, and Grabber, an excavator. While ATV Scrambler sets out to train the Valley’s athletes for the event, Bob and the Crew get to work to complete the job on time. Along the way, Gripper and Grabber try to acclimate to small town life and soon discover that despite being a winning twosome that always has fun together they can also have fun with others. Race to the finish line with Bob and his friends and see how teamwork and fun go hand-in-hand in this colossal building adventure.DVD SPECIAL FEATURES
