I'm a Thug-a-boo... You're a thug-a-boo... The summer is officially over and it's time to go school shopping. Thanks to the power of commercial advertising, D-Roc, like most children & adults want a pair of overly priced sneakers, Air Jarrett's. Air Jarrett's are sneakers endorsed by a basketball player who dropped out of the first grade that cost a whopping $150. D-Rock honestly knows that is too much money for his parents to spend, but, he asks anyway. His mom, a born talk-a-holic, finds a competitively priced pair of Air Johnsons', at her local market. D-Rock is too afraid to face his crew. Instead of being content with what his mother could afford, D-Rock and his neighbor, Soo Young, perpetrate a major fraud on the school and soon all of their friends are involved. Can D-Rock correct this problem before it escalates too far? The Wayans' family in conjunction with Nickelodeon, come together to create an animated movie that the entire family will not only love, but cherish. THUG-A-BOO shows the importance of being you regardless what others may say. I loved this DVD and my children haven't given it much of a breather since we got it.
