Storyline
A musical introduction to various forms of travel - with the lovable puppet Newt the newt as a guide. A delightful children's musical video by Jonathan Larson, Pulitzer prize-winning creator of blockbuster Broadway hit RENT, and Bob Golden, noted composer for children's TV shows like Sesame Street and Lambchop's Play-Along. Join Newt and his friends Casey and Samantha as they sail past the Statue of Liberty on a ferry, take the "checker" taxi cab down Broadway, ride a bus, fly a 727 jet, and more! Kids (and parents) will have the time of their lives as they enjoy the sights and the can't-help-singing-along music!
