Kipper is a crowd pleaser
I can't say enough good things about Kipper. He has a very calming effect on my son, yet he makes him laugh. My son loves the Sun DVD as Kipper brings his friends along to the beach for fun. Definitely a good buy if your child loves Kipper!

delicious language
story line is accessible to youngest viewers, but the language used is deliciously appealing to adults with bonus British idioms and light British accent sprinkled throughout the story line; story line is sweet, but not condescending to younger viewers; my children will watch it over and over from ages 4 through 9

Kipper is great!
We love Kipper. My daughter who is 4, really likes watching these low-key but funny stories. I think it's a wonderful DVD to put on for quiet time because Kipper is so soft spoken. British accent adds it's charm to it as well. And this particular DVD has several stories about summertime things to do.

Kipper!
My 10 month old won't take his eyes off the screen when kipper is on. That alone is worth more than the cost of this item!

'Ello Tiger
This is good, fun, animated entertainment for the pre-school crowd with a minimum of violence. After my daughter watched this DVD a few times, she began speaking in a British accent. It was cute, yet creepy. Still, I prefer it over the Boston accent she sometimes has when she returns home from school, "we did some drawrings and then we played in the pahk."

Kipper and his buddies Tiger, Pig, and Arnold, amble about in a genial, self-amused manner, often chuckling infectiously to themselves about their mildly mischievous adventures. There are occasional moments of slapstick comedy but it is high on cuteness, low on angst and violence. In my favorite episode, a particularly surreal one, Kipper and Pig explore the sky traveling around on the clouds. Then, it begins to rain and they plummet out of the sky. Their fall is broken as they bounce gently off the belly of a sunbathing Tiger. Tiger flinches as each of them bounces and emits a low "ooph." I can't do it justice, but it's as funny as any Bugs Bunny slapstick moment, but with out the cruel and sadistic flavor. My daughter was alone in the room watching it and I heard her burst into laughter. I ran in to see and we ended up looping the gag, watching it over and over and laughing harder each time. Good times.

The drawings are simple but heady. The backgrounds are understated yet enchanting watercolors. Your viewing experience is enhanced by a noodly cool jazz tinkering soundtrack.
