Plot
Michael and Amy want to surprise their dad for his birthday. With the
MOVIES
Backyard Gang in doubt, there's no way the show can be produced
quickly (or, so they think). Fortunately, Barney comes to life, and
encourages the kids to use their imaginations to help make the show a
TV
reality. Along the way, they sing songs and recite rhymes that are later
sung in the birthday show. The show ends up to be a success with Dad
doing the "Hokey Pokey".
