Plot[]
Educational Theme: All about a TV Studio/Protecting The Earth
After performing their live concert, Adam's mother takes the Backyard Gang to a TV studio where she works. While there; Barney and the Backyard Gang tour the studio on their own, while producing their own show. From a cereal commercial set, a puppet show, the six little ducks, meeting new friends, teddy bears, the US flag, an island paradise, and a makeup place to a jungle while the show is filmed along with many props in the studio. However, with the power of imagination and some movie magic, anything is possible when Barney's around.

Trivia[]
- This video was originally a Neiman Marcus exclusive, as part of their Barney Boutique.
- As part of this partnership, the video had several local premieres in the Dallas area. By being an In-Circle Club member, Neiman Marcus customers were able to purchase packages that included a theater viewing of the video.
- On the producers' slate, the production is labeled as Barney & Friends.
- Michael and Amy's Dad is mentioned in this video by Luci.
- This video was released a month before Barney & Friends began filming.
- There are many scenes in this video where Amy (Becky Swonke) looks fatigued and weak, especially during "Yankee Doodle Dandy". She also had a bit of trouble speaking normally. This played a major role as to why she left the series right before Barney & Friends began production.
Goofs[]
