Shot entirely on location, this never-aired 50-minute episode of the big purple dinosaur's TV show gets up close and personal with the two- and four-legged denizens of the Ft. Worth zoo. BJ and Baby Bop are along for the ride, helping Barney ask their young audience questions designed to get them thinking and interacting with the program. Includes 11 songs.

Convicted corporate criminal Howard engineers a prison break as he and a number of fellow inmates are being transferred to a new facility. The escapees storm a shopping mall and take a group of shoppers hostage (after killing many more of them) before making their demands. Only Rudy, a former mercenary and brother of one of the fugitives, can take out the criminals before more of the hostages die.
