Overview
Continuing to fill out its library of storybooks on DVD, Scholastic has now brought more of Mo Willems’s colorful tales to DVD with his narration accompanying animations based on his words and illustrations. The disc includes three stories to keep kids entertained as they learn about values such as cooperation and improve their problem solving skills. Mo Willems is a great children’s book author, so any issues with the release don’t stem from his work, but rather from the price for a single DVD release with only three stories when Scholastic will inevitably be releasing them as part of a larger set down the road (if they haven’t already) for a better value.

Center
Primary
This animated short focuses on the apolitical themes of sharing and negotiation between two friends over a found hot dog, promoting universal social skills rather than any specific political ideology.
This animated short film features animal characters, precluding direct evaluation of human representation or traditional identity framing. The narrative focuses on a simple, humorous interaction about sharing, without incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The animated short film 'The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog' centers on a pigeon's humorous internal debate about sharing a hot dog with a duckling. The narrative does not feature any LGBTQ+ characters or themes, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the story.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The animated short adapts Mo Willems' book, retaining the established genders of its main characters, The Pigeon and The Duckling, as male. No characters were portrayed with a different gender than their canonical source material.
The film's primary characters are animated animals (a pigeon and a duckling). The concept of human race, as defined for a 'race swap,' does not apply to these characters.
