Leapfrog regularly releases DVDs featuring animations of the characters it's franchise created.

So far, 14 DVDs has been released. The first title, ''The Letter Factory'', was released way back in 2003. It was followed by ''The Words Factory'' in the same year, ''The Words Factory 2: Code Word Caper'' and ''Math Circus'' in 2004, ''(Learn to Read at) The Storybook Factory'' in 2005.

In 2012, it appears that Leapfrog had gotten tired of Leap, Lily and Tad and decided to focus on Scout and his friends instead. The result was the first two ''Scout and Friends'' video, ''Phonics Farm'' and ''Numberland'', following a new continuity. This was followed by ''Adventures in Shapeville Park'' and ''The Magnificent Museum of Opposite Words'' in 2013.

NeedsADescription.

* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: There's Scout the green puppy, Violet the purple puppy, and Eli the blue cat.

* ThemeTuneRollCall: "I'm with You, Scout1" in the ''Scout and Friends'' titles

* HiroshimaAsAUnitOfMeasure: In ''Scout and Friends: Adventures in Shapeville Park'', mice called "measure mice" are used as part of a song number about measuring. "Look at Penny jump / How far can she go? / We can the measure mice and then we'll know / Line them up and count them up, place them end-to-end! / Her jump is two mice long! That's how long!" The mice were cute and the song was catchy, but the problem was that no real-world units were given to relate just "two mice" was. Some felt this may have been done to avoid having to get into confusion between metric and imperial units, but more than one reviewer and commenter on Amazon.com felt the idea of measuring with mice was somewhat bizarre.

* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Pretty much every now and then in the DVDs.

* CallBack: In ''The Magnificent Museum of Opposite Words'', the guests of the museum at the time of opening consists of characters from previous DVDs ''Phonics Farm'', ''Numberland'' and ''Adventures in Shapeville Park''

* NoAntagonist: Unless you count Parker Pig as one in ''A Tad Of Christmas Cheer''. Averted with ''Numbers Ahoy!''. And then zig-zagged back with the ''Scout and Friends'' DVDs

* CallBack: In ''The Magnificent Museum of Opposite Words'', the guests of the museum at the time of opening consists of characters from previous DVDs ''Phonics Farm'' and ''Numberland''

* {{Discontinuity}}: Possibly done on purpose, the Beaver Brothers introduced themselves to the gang as if it's the first time they've met in ''Magnificent Museum of Opposite Words'' and ''Adventures in Shapeville Park'' respectively, because both DVDs are released at the same time and the consumers may choose to watch one or the other first. Although, in ''The Magnificent Museum of Opposite Words'', they act as if they are already familiar with Scout and Violet, so it's possible that they do that as a calling card, like Team Rocket in {{Pokemon}}.
** Also, a cross-media example: In the earlier DVDs, it's established that Tad, Leap, Lily and the rest of the Learning Friends all live in Alphaville. Now, it's established that Scout and Friends live in Shapeville, given the name of the park and how it's walking distance from their home. This completely throws out the continuity presented by the Clickstart learning computer, which states that Scout is Tad and Dot's dog, indication that the current Scout and Friends DVDs is set in a different universe from the Learning Friends continuity.

* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Pretty much every now and then in the DVDs.
* FantasyHelmetEnforcement: In the Scout and Friends videos, notice how Axel automatically puts seatbelts on the characters during the "I'm With You Scout" song.
* CallBack: In ''The Magnificent Museum of Opposite Words'', the guests of the museum at the time of opening consists of characters from previous DVDs ''Phonics Farm'' and ''Numberland''
