In my opinion, the "Wishbone" TV series was one of the best kids shows ever produced. It's about Wishbone, a Jack Russell Terrier who has a "big imagination." Each episode features Wishbone, Wishbone's owner Joe and his mom Ellen Talbot, next door neighbor Wanda Gilmore, and Joe's two best friends Samantha and David in a situation that reminds Wishbone of a similar incident within a classic book. In this episode, Joe gets in trouble at his school when he helps Ellie, the friendly lunch lady, secretly give leftovers from the cafeteria (which will be discarded anyway) to the local food bank even though is against Mr. Bison's rules. When Mr. Bison finds out about their donation, he fires Ellie and threatens to suspend Joe. But Joe refuses to give into Mr. Bison, and launches a protest of his actions with his fellow students. Meanwhile, Wishbone is reminded of the story of Robin Hood. Wishbone sees that Joe is like Robin helping out the poor and the mean Mr. Bison is like the Sheriff of Nottingham. In his imagination, Wishbone reenacts the major parts of the Robin Hood story including winning the archery contest that the Sheriff sponsored, but Maid Marian is captured. In a battle at the end, Wishbone rescues Maid Marian and good King Richard pardons Wishbone and his Merry Men. In the real life part of the show, Principal Leonard comes back just as a heated argument erupts between Joe, Mrs. Talbot, and Mr. Bison. She settles the argument, hires back Ellie, and tells Mr. Bison that she needs to see him in her office and everyone goes hope happy (except for Mr. Bison). Wishbone really was a great kids show. Besides introducing younger viewers to the classics of literature, the show is also really funny. Wishbone has an obsession with food, and he's always offering to "help" Joe with the donated food. If you like Wishbone, be sure to add this episode to your collection!Read full review

I Love the Moral Values this movie teaches! Wishbone was always one of my favorite after school specials. Now it has become a favorite of my kids. That's why I wanted to buy this movie for my family. My only wish is that I could find more Wishbone DVD movies to buy. The little Jack Russel Terrier has wonderful, Heart Warming Adventures! WISHBONE is a delightful treat for everyone in the family! We are so Thankful for the WISHBONE movies we do have!
Great! Fast! A+
