Kipper - The Classic Collection [DVD]

"His name is Kipper...Kipper the dog"There's something about Kipper that keeps drawing my daughter back time and time again. There aren't too many childrens DVD's that can do this for my little one (Peppa Pig is another favorite I can think of).The stories on the Kipper DVD collection are sweet and very simple, it's no wonder this little dog is a big hit with little people.Martin Clunes is just perfect as Kipper's 'voice' and each episode is no more than 10 minutes long.On this DVD you get:The Visitor,The Umbrella,The Seaside,Nothing Ever Happens,Pig's Present,The Rainbow Puddle,The Butterfly,The Bleepers,Snowy Day,Pig's CousinKipper is enjoyed by our whole family - the episodes are so good, there should be more!!

Perfect, utterly uncontentious viewing for little children, or sensitive children who struggle with scariness. By 'uncontentious' I mean that no one is nasty to anyone, no characters get back at anyone else, and there are no power struggles between characters, unlike many other DVDs and films. There are some episodes that make our children giggle uncontrollably (most notably 'The visitor', about a gosling). I think (from memory) there are ten episodes. We also have some of the stories in a Kipper collection book which is also excellent and doesn't have identical script (the book script is appropriate for reading aloud whereas the DVD script is appropriate for listening to characters), though the stories are the same.

Kipper is very gentle and sweet, he's always helping the other characters and being patient and kind. I think, despite not letting my kids watch too much of it, that their behaviour is gentler as a result. So many kids programs I don't let them watch because the interactions are all angry or competitive. This is a rare exception.The characters all speak very clearly too, which I think is why they liked it, even from when they were quite young. The pace is gentle and I really like that the drawings are so simple, it leaves some room for their imagination.

Refershingly, not too busy, noisy with elaborate, shouting dialog and complicated story lines as I find most kids cartoons to be these days, just beautifully simple and endearing. Music is relaxing and feel good. Characters are fantastic and so likeable. Story lines simple and captivating. Also, it is 7 little movies that play consecutively for 97 mins without needing to come back to the remote to click for the next one, so you can kick back and relax. My 14 month old absolutely loves this and so does his Mum Mum 👍

PURCHASED THIS FOR THE YOUNGEST OF MY GRANDKIDS. ALL FIVE OF THEM HAVE 'GROWN UP' WATCHING KIPPER ON DEAR OLD VHS, AND BY NOW THESE A GETTING PRETTY WORN. (DARE I SAY IT, YOU CAN'T PIRATE THEM ONTO A DISC BECAUSE THERE'S A LOCK ON 'HIT' MATERIAL OF 'KIPPER'). THE KIDS ALL END UP WITH FITS OF LAUGHTER, AND I TOO LOVE THE WORK OF MICK INKPEN, AND EVEN THE VOICEOVERS ARE GOOD. I'M A BIT OF OLD TRADITIONAL GRANDAD I SUPPOSE, AND I'VE GOT THEM INTO STEAM TRAINS, FRED DIBNAH AND THE LIKE -- EDUCATIONAL HISTORY, AND TO ME, FAR FAR BETTER THAN ALL THESE COMPUTER ANIMATED MONSTERS, WARLIKE ROBOTS AND VIOLENT TRANSFORMERS. CERTAINLY NOBODY USES BAD LANGUAGE ON KIPPER OR SPITS BLOOD EITHER ON KIPPER. WONDERFLLY CHILDLIKE AND TOTALLY RECOMMENDED... BUT ON THIS OCCASION, ZOVERSTOCKS, THE SUPPLIER. SOLD ME GOODS THAT WEREN'T UP TO SCATCH -- LITERALLY! THEY'VE GOT A GOOD RATING AND I'VE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THEM BEFORE, SO I ACCEPTED THE DVD AS 'MARKED BUT PLAYS OK'. SORRY, BUT IT DIDN'T, AND I HAD SOME DISAPPOINTED KIDS, SO SADLY, I HAD TO ASK FOR A REFUND, WHICH WAS ISSUED WITHOUT QUESTION. I THEN ORDERED A REPLACEMENT ELSEWHERE.

Lovely to be able to watch this with my own little boy having loved the kipper books as a child myself.

I find the dvd which I bought for my daughter who is 20 months is very engaging and i find myself watching it with her and singing the theme song while it is on and also sharing lighter moments outside the dvd watching time where i sing it to her and she does not know how to pronounce "kipper" yet so i sing "kipper the" and she sings "dog". Lots of hours of fun with it, i really do recommend it.

Having read the reviews for Kipper I bought this DVD for my 18 month old. He loves it so much it prompted me to add my own review. He is captivated by Kipper, the simple and entertaining stories and the characters. He asks for Kipper by name now and even does a dance to the opening music! He giggles out loud at the hamster in Pigs Present. Its lovely to have a DVD that I can put on for 10 minutes and know that Aaron will enjoy every minute. I would recommend this to everyone.

This movie would not even play my kid was very upset. I think it was pretty rotten to sell a tape that was junk thanks a lot. It was also not even from our country. What a joke.

Great vids to share with a Kipper lover 😊

A mis hijos les ha encantado, muy recomendable para que se familiaricen con el inglés. Desde luego un acierto .

I disegni sono molto belli e le storie accattivanti. Il mio bambino di 2 anni lo adora e ha già imparato molte parole inglesi.
