Postcards from Buster - Lets Go on a Trip Trailers

Postcards from Buster centers on Buster traveling to various places around North America, usually in the United States but also in the Caribbean, Canada – and other places – with his father, who is a pilot for a group of musicians. In each episode Buster meets children in the location, who show him aspects of their family lives and local culture. The sequences with Buster are animated, while the portions featuring the children are live action (viewed from the viewpoint of Buster's video camcorder). After each trip, Buster sends to Arthur a "video postcard" videotape summarizing what he's done and who he's met in each location. The children and their families that are presented on the series are meant to be multicultural and diverse, and range from a Mormon family in Utah to a Mestizo family in Texas.

This is simply a great show. Buster travels around the USA and the world, meeting people of many walks of life. Every episode offers unique perspectives and experiences. Truly diverse and enriching travels are shown, for example: a Pow Wow in Wyoming, crab fishing in Louisiana, maple sugaring in Vermont, martial arts in Seattle, county fair in Indiana, and food and music, well, everywhere. Very enjoyable,to kids and adults, and very educational as well. I really like how broad and non-judgemental the show is. I also like how the show shows real people, I think helping to erase any bad stereotypes by showing how interesting everyone everywhere can be. Keep travelling, Buster!

I can't get enough of the show & I'm almost 18 yrs. old, so you can't say it's just for kids. I'm totally obsessed with Carlos & Mora. They are so awesome!! I know it's kind of odd, but, it makes me happy! The only thing I have to complain about is that there's not enough of Carlos & Mora in the show (well, not enough for me anyway. Although, maybe there will never be enough for me). They are so cool & so cute together, such a cute couple! I love how he'll walk with his arm around her & all that kind of stuff! My 11 yr.old sister laughed at me for liking this show, but now it's growing on her, too. It has a lot of educational stuff to it, but the main reason I watch it is for Carlos & Mora. Their songs are also very catchy. I could go on & on about Carlos & Mora all day... I even taped some of the songs & got Postcards From Buster DVDs.

I do not know how well this show goes over with its intended audience, but as an adult I am impressed by how it is put together. The premise of the show is of an animated rabbit traveling around the world with his father getting to know children and their families and taking videos. I do not know how much of the show is scripted, but it comes across as being a spontaneous interaction of the people being filmed with Buster and with one another. Sort of like a cross between a travelogue and reality TV for kids, with everyone being nice to one another.One small thing that I find disconcerting is that while Buster is more or less given the face of a rabbit, the rest of his family look like humans with rabbit ears appended.

I started to watch this the other day for the whole episode,but then I didn't like it at all.I mean sure it's educational by having the main character,Buster,going places around the world and tell the viewers about the things he learned and stuff.But you know,you could get those things from traveling show,and it would still be a whole lot better than this show.Postcards from Buster is about a rabbit that goes on a summer vacation with his rabbit dad,and he goes around filming people and learn about their culture,friends,and family.It's a two part show:when there are no real people around,the scene would be animated,but if Buster is filming real people,the whole show would be real scenes.The show is pretty annoying,it is very childish.When Buster film people,the show would turn into real,and you never see the animated characters when the show is real.Plus,whenever Buster goes meeting someone new,they would just invite him to their house,then either they will take him somewhere or they would give him their stuff.It's like Buster's freeloading off everyone he meets and that's very rude.I don't like the way the people treats Buster,it's not the way the people in the real world treat each other,because the people in PFB always treat Buster like his best friend in the first day they met,and that is really unrealistic(not counting the animated-switching-to-real part of the show).So pretty much,all I want to say is,this show might be interesting to little kids like Barney.But to the adults,it can get very boring very quickly after the first 5 episodes.
