Kipper - Water Play [VHS]

Highly Recommended for toddlers!
This DVD is absolutely lovely. My 3-year old adores it. There are no scary scenes and nothing indecent for toddlers. I highly recommend this to other families out there everywhere.

Another great Kipper DVD
My son loved this one as well. Water play is always interesting to kids. My son watches this one for several runs too. He loves Kipper with his umbrella. It is definitely a must for Kipper fans.

Disappointing!
These are the episodes; The umbrella (in "Visitor and other stories") The seaside ( in "Visitor and other stories") The rainbow puddle (in "Pig's present and other stories") The paddling pool( in "Snowy day and other stories) Big owl's bath My son is a Kipper's big fan and has almost all VHSs. If you have other tapes above, the last one episode would be new. And this tape has a bothering caption at the bottom of the screen all the time saying, "for screening purpose only! exclusive oroperty of HIT." Stories themselves are good.

Short and sweet
This was the first Kipper DVD I bought for my son. It is still his favourite. He will choose this over an above all the other Kipper videos he owns. His favourite episode is the first one, The Umbrella, in which Kipper takes an amazing journey with an umbrella. Yes, it is short, but I felt it was a good length for a child's attention span. Also, it is very quiet and low-key, which is sometimes a very good thing. It makes an excellent just-before-bedtime video.

Something's missing
I didn't buy this at first because I was of the impression that it was a compilation of water episodes from the other DVDs. We own most, if not all, of the other DVDs and I can't say that I've seen any of the episodes before. They may have been shown on TV, or may have been on the earlier VHS tapes, but nevertheless they were all new to me. This one is very short at five episodes, not the length of the usual Kipper value packs, and the biggest problem is that Pig and Arnold are missing. Gotta have those pigs! The five episodes are imaginative as usual, including a talking magic frog and an elephant, plus Kipper does a great Gene Kelly/Mary Poppins impression on an umbrella adventure. Not the best Kipper to start with, but reasonable entertainment for seasoned veterans. Amanda Richards January 30, 2005
