Fraggle Rock: Where It All Began [DVD]

The first three episodes of the series that featured the popular puppet creations of Jim Henson are collected here, in addition to a cartoon called "The Great Fraggle Freeze," and a featurette entitled "Fraggle Songs: a 45 Minute Musical History of Fraggle Rock." In "Beginnings," Gobo's Uncle Matt has managed to leave the Fraggle caves and venture into "outer space," which is his term for our world. Marjory the Trash Heap is wary of this development, while Gobo waits at home for postcards from his uncle. Then, when Wembley is captured by the Giant Gorgs, Gobo, Red, Mokey and Boober undertake a mission to get him back in "Wembley and the Gorgs." Unfortunately, they get into more trouble than they bargained for along the way, and soon need a rescue party of their own! Red has been planning a swim show that looks like it might not come off when a drought afflicts Fraggle Rock; the pipe bangers' magic isn't working and Red just doesn't know what to do. But he just might be able to work some magic of his own, with a little help from his friends.
