Let's Go PJ Masks DVD Review & Competition

If you are a regular reader to the blog, then you will know that Riley is a huge PJ Masks fan. I am pretty sure he has seen all the current episodes and he also has a great collection of figures and toys. In addition to this, he also told me that he regularly plays PJ Masks with his friends at school, where they pretend to be the different characters and "Go into the night, to save the day!" whilst running around the playground.

Last October we reviewed the PJ Masks Time to be a Hero DVD which has seen plenty of use over the last couple of months. Riley was therefore delighted to receive the brand new Entertainment One (eOne) PJ Masks DVD in the post this weekend called Let's Go PJ Masks. Our previous DVD was packed full of crime-fighting and adventurous fun and so we were looking forward to watching the PJ Masks trio solve some more mysteries and work together as a team.

We had been busy building dens in the living room hidden away from the pouring rain outside, so Riley's special delivery came just at the right time as I handed him his parcel from the postman. With the den, blankets and snacks at the ready, it was the perfect setting for enjoying some superhero fun!



If you are unfamiliar with the series, then PJ Masks depicts the tales of Conor, Amaya and Greg who by day are three normal school kids but by night, if the city is in danger the trio put on their pyjamas and activate their animal amulets. They magically transform into their superhero alter-egos: Catboy, Owlette and Gekko and together make an unstoppable team.


The episodes featured on this DVD are:
  • Gekko & the Snore-A-Saurus - Luna Girl turns a sleep-walking Cameron into her very own human puppet. It's up to PJ Masks to save the day...but Gekko has to stop messing around first!
  • Catboy and the Shrinker - Romeo and Night Ninja team up to shrink the PJ Masks with Romeo's shrinker invention. When Catboy gets shrunk, he forgets that even a little guy can save the day...if he can use his small size to his advantage.
  • Blame it on the Train, Owlette - When the new Fairground Flyer Train goes missing from the fair, Owlette is determined to get it back quickly. But if she wants to defeat Romeo's new super train, she'll need to learn that a little patience goes a long way.
  • Looking after Gekko - When Night Ninja steals the school bus and converts it into his very own super-vehicle, it's up to our heroes to stop him in his tracks. But for that to happen, Gekko needs to learn that asking for help doesn't make you weak.
  • Catboy's Tricky Ticket - Catboy only has two tickets to the Jayden Houston concert and has to decide which of his best friends to take to the show. Owlette and Gekko offer him presents to sway his decision and Catboy's newfound greed could ensure Luna Girl ruins the concert for good.
  • Clumsy Catboy - Romeo plans to use his newest device to make everyone in the world so clumsy that they can't stop him from taking over the world. But when agile Catboy is the first to be "clumsified", he can't admit it and tries to save the day without any help.

With a running time of 72 minutes, it is the perfect length to keep little ones entertained (whilst also allowing us parents a few moments of peace)! It has a U rating, so it is suitable for all the family to enjoy and I must admit that I quite like watching the episodes too.

Riley's favourite character is Gekko, so as I read the list of episodes to him, he was excited that the first episode was all about Gekko and the Snore-A-Saurus. The title alone captured his attention and so we lay in the den together to begin our PJ Masks episode marathon. One element of the show that I particularly like is that there is usually an underlying message in the episodes that not only teaches the PJ Masks trio some valuable lessons, but also gives children watching the programme something to think about. 


Riley thoroughly enjoyed all the episodes and as well as finding the DVD entertaining, he thought some parts of the show were really funny too. His favourite episode was Looking After Gekko, which he asked to watch again several times after the full DVD had finished. Featuring vibrant and loveable characters, it is easy to see why PJ Masks is so popular with young children. The episodes on this DVD are great fun and packed full of adventure and excitement that I know Riley will want to watch over and over again.

If the action-packed DVD itself isn't enough, then children will also love the fun free stickers that are enclosed. These are great for making a little PJ Masks picture or could even be used to decorate the DVD case and add a personal touch.


The DVD is available to purchase and download from 5th February, with Amazon currently offering buyers the chance to pre-order it for only £7.99!

PJ Masks - Time to be a Hero DVD - Review

PJ Masks is a hugely popular preschool TV Show by Entertainment One (eOne) that has all budding young superheroes captivated, as they follow the exciting adventures of a trio of friends, who work together to become an unstoppable team. Accompanied by a catchy theme tune and great stories, the DVD is sure to be a hit with any PJ Masks fans.

My son Riley absolutely loves PJ Masks, so we were really excited to learn about its first ever DVD release, that soared into stores & online demand sites earlier this week on the 30th October. Riley was first introduced to PJ Masks last year, when he began to watch the Disney Junior TV channel. He became an instant fan and loves to sing and dance along to the song, as well as dress up as his favourite character Gekko.

PJ Masks - Time to be a Hero, features six fan-favourite episodes and follows the exciting adventures of Connor, Amaya and Greg. The three friends attend school like everyone else, but when something goes awry in the city, they get ready for their mission.

As day turns to night, the heroes put their pyjamas on and activate their animal amulets. They magically transform into their dynamic superhero alter egos: Catboy, Owlette and Gekko and become the fantastic PJ Masks team.


The episodes featured on the DVD are:

  • Speak UP, Gekko! - When Romeo starts using Gekko's voice for no good, Gekko has to get over his stage fright and get his voice back.
  • Catboy & Master Fang's Sword - Night Ninja has stolen Master Fang's prized sword and Catboy wants it back, but he will have to learn not to let his anger get in the way first.
  • Catboy vs. Robo-Cat - Catboy has to get Amaya's and Greg's stolen superhero pyjamas back from Romeo so they can transform into Owlette and Gekko and help him save the day.....unless he learns that you don't need superpowers to be a hero.
  • Owlette and the Giving Owl - Owlette's prized 'Giving Owl' statue is stolen by Luna Girl to decorate her new headquarters. If Owlette doesn't learn that it's better to give than receive, Catboy and Gekko could become trapped in Luna Girl's newest HQ for good.
  • Catboy's Flying Fiasco - When Catboy receives a scooter as a gift from an unknown aunt, something smells fishy. But when he can use it to fly, it's too good to leave at home. Too bad that it's really a gift from......Luna Girl!
  • Owlette and the Flash Flip Trip - Using his newest machine, Romeo erases all the stories from books and replaces them with pictures of himself. Rather than relying on her own skills, Owlette plans to use the moves of her favourite comic character, Flossy Flash, to save the day.
Our copy of the DVD arrived just before Riley went to school, so he was excited all day about coming home and being able to watch it. The DVD is approximately 72 minutes long, so it was perfect for me to put it on and know that he would be settled for over an hour, whilst I could prepare dinner. I could hear him singing along to the theme tune, as well as shouting out some of his favourite catchphrases such as "Into the night, to save the day".


Once I had dinner in the oven, I was able to sit down and enjoy the remainder of the DVD with him. Despite being an adult, I actually really enjoyed the episodes and I like the fact that they tell a story as well as teaching valuable lessons along the way. Riley really enjoys watching them solve the mysteries and working together as a team, so it is great to now have a DVD that we can put on at any time.

Riley enjoyed the DVD so much that when we went on holiday this week, it was the first item he packed in his little suitcase. We were staying in a luxury lodge and I knew that there was a DVD player available, so it was great to be able to take this away with us. It meant that in between visiting attractions and going out in the evening, Riley was able to watch one of his favourite programmes over and over again, as well as introducing his Nana and Grandad to the wonderful world of PJ Masks and getting them to watch the episodes with him too.


The DVD also came with a lovely set of stickers, which Riley has used to decorate his notebook. There was also an advertising insert which showed some of the great products that are available to purchase, as well as some of the activities that are available on the PJ Masks website www.pjmasks.co.uk/grown-ups. I also found out there is a PJ Masks Time to be a Hero App which looks great fun.


PJ Masks - Time to be a Hero is available to purchase now from retailers including Amazon, and has an RRP of £9.99. It is also available as a digital download so that your little ones can watch it on the go. It has a U rating, so it is suitable for all the family to enjoy. We really enjoyed the DVD and would highly recommend it.
