Sunny Day

Cool-haired protagonist Sunny—who looks teenage-ish but apparently has hairdresser, business, and driver’s licenses—works with her friends but often steps out of the hair salon to help others in this compilation of four episodes from the Nickelodeon-aired animated series. "Friendship Day" finds Sunny’s dog Doodle feeling short-shrifted when he notices that her co-worker colorist Rox and organized receptionist Blair are getting presents for the titular holiday. Jealous, Doodle runs off to make his way in the world, and Sunny and the girls must hop in their "Glam Van" to look for him, having to prove their owner/pet bond to a dogcatcher through a special handshake and song. In "Sunny and the Princesses," the gang helps two royals get ready for a ball (although the younger of the pair has bigger ideas for fun), while "Stick with Me" includes foraging for ingredients to concoct a solution to separate Rox and Blair from a "super stick" hairspray mishap. Also including "If Timmy Gives You Apples"—in which the girls help friend Timmy after he’s trapped in an orchard—each episode features a brief segment with a real-life participant showing off a related hairstyle (think "Apple Updo") with instructions to do-it-yourself online. A frothy bit of fluff that doesn’t pretend to be otherwise, this is a strong optional purchase. Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
