Customer Reviews of Kipper - Pools, Parks & Picnics

Wonderful, gentle videos
If anything you have read above appeals to you, do not hesitate. Whip out your credit card and buy every Kipper tape you can find! This is one of the few video series that requires no parental policing and can be viewed by all with delight. The stories are gentle and affectionate and are imbued with the warmth of genuine friendship. The animations are simple but charming. The plots revolve around kid-level problems that are solved with a bit of inventiveness, much consideration, and a dash of bemusement. The characters are well acted without the cloying adults-pretending-to-be-children edge that you find in many US videos; BBC regular Martin Clunes, who does the voice of Kipper, is absolutely amazing. The pacing is suited to very young toddlers yet the stories are engrossing enough for school-age kids.

This is the type of video you like your child to see....
After hearing so many stupid songs and weird voices and annoying lyrics, Kipper is without a doubt a breath of fresh air..my daughter begun showing an interest in the video at 18 months (before this wouldn't hold her attention- too complex)...now at 33 mos., she loves him and I love her to love them...the videos are calm, gentle with cute non violent characters..... the story lines can relate to kids....I have the VHS version which is fine....Everytime she asks to see Teletubbies or something equally as anoying, I try to get her to see one of her 3 Kipper videos instead.....Love those sweeet Brit accents too! : ) I also like that the video is long...not like some 20-30 min. deals....

A Breath of Fresh Air
My daughter has loved Kipper since she was about 10 months old. We were shocked, when at 10 months she actually sat through three episodes of Kipper. We don't encourage a lot of TV viewing, but Kipper is always welcome in our house. It is a nice change from all the other nonsense out there.

Its stories and characters are refreshing in today's fast-paced world. It has a simple animation that will be a relief from all the flashy, fast-paced cartoons. We think this lack of complexity is what first caught our daughter's attention. It isn't violent, it isn't demeaning, and it is worth every cent. I never get tired of watching it with my daughter and how many children's shows can you say that about. At 15 months, she still loves it. We own four of the Kipper DVD's now and love every one of them, but Pools, Parks, and Picnics is one of my personal favorites.
