Plot
The Backyard Gang are bored on a Saturday with nothing to do. That is,
until they use their imaginations to bring Barney to life. When they tell
Barney their problem, he acts like a genie and gives them three wishes to
FAN
CENTRAL go anywhere they would want to go in their imagination. Using their
BETA
imaginations, they go to places like a fun park, the Moon in outer space,
and even a fun-filled animal farm. But when Barney leaves, the kids learn
from Mom that "friends are forever, whenever they're make-believe".

Trivia
During the fun park scene, the song, "The More We Get Together"
was used as an underscore.
In the original release of this video, after Michael, Amy and their
mom go inside the house and before the end credits started, "The
End" is shown. This sequence was edited out on later releases. This
title card could mean this is the final video in the original trilogy.
This video marks:

The first home video to feature the regular version of The

Lyons Group logo music, even though some copies have the
version from The Backyard Show.
The first home video to feature the Barney Fan Club ad.
