Kipper - Playtimex$4.60
  (10 reviews)
Best Price: $9.98 $4.60
Meet Kipper, a loveable dog with a big imagination! Today’s the day to join Kipper, Tiger, Jake, Pig and Arnold in their wonderful world of magic and fun. Every day is playtime with Kipper and his friends. While playing with Arnold, Kipper discovers that baby-sitting his little pig friend can be exhausting! Does Arnold ever get tired of playing? In another episode, Tiger thinks it’s funny to play tricks on his friends. But once they discover the greatest treasure – a caring friend. It’s all in a day’s play in these delightful stories from Kipper!
Metal detectors, pottery wheels, itching powder, and magic carpets all have a go in Kipper Playtime. Joined by his usual band of tail-wagging buddies, Kipper the dog chats and chuckles his way through seven amusing cartoons, each about 8 minutes long. Whether searching the playground for buried treasure, entertaining little Arnold at home, or discovering that Pig has mistaken wet clay pots for fresh-baked cookies, Kipper always displays patience, kindness, and charm along with a keen wit. His innocent ways and lilting British accent suggest a strong Winnie the Pooh influence; but a playful streak shines through Kipper's polite, quiet demeanor. This pup is no pushover, as jokester Jake discovers when Kipper orchestrates a rather wet act of revenge in "Jake's Joke Box"--albeit a subtle, well-mannered revenge. Nothing offensive, loud, or sarcastic muddies this collection of puppy tales, earning it a two-paws-up rating for preschoolers and their parents. --Liane Thomas

New Episodes- NO repeats, as always a FAVORITE
By AKIZXTCBK5B7S on 2005-09-20
This Kipper video features 7 episodes and runs for 1 hour.
For newcomers, this cartoon is simply and beautifully illustrated, moves at a leisurely pace, and teaches life lessons without being preachy.
The episodes included are as follows:
The treasure hunt- Tiger brings over a metal detector but gets frustrated when he finds nothing but junk with it. Kipper helps out by burying his piggy bank for Tiger to find.
Looking after Arnold- Kipper babysits little Arnold one afternoon, and exhausts himself (I'm sure parents of toddlers can relate to that one).
Tiger's Joke Box- Tiger plays practical jokes on everyone, and ends up being the butt of a joke himself
Pig's Sweater- really funny, Pig insists on wearing his new sweater, even if it's sweltering outside.
Clay Time- the whole gang has fun with a potter's wheel.
The Magic Carpet- Kipper takes a trip to the moon and meets friendly aliens. (Your child may ask for a magic carpet after this one).
Kipper the Hero- Kipper helps rescue a kitten caught in a tree.
My almost 4 year old will watch nothing but Kipper. I actually find myself laughing along with the characters when I watch with him.
Brilliant !

After watching and reviewing Kipper: Pools, Parks and Picnics, I knew that I had to get the rest of the series.
The series, as Kipper himself would say, is "brilliant!"This DVD has seven stories, at a bargain price. My son's favorites are "Looking After Arnold", where Kipper tries to entertain little Arnold by making the dining table into a playhouse (among other things), and "Kipper the Hero", where Kipper becomes Superdog, and saves the day for one of his friends. He also likes "The Magic Carpet", because it flies to the moon. Having watched it myself a couple of times, I noticed a few things: Kipper's eyebrows change position, and he often has only one, which changes sides randomly. Some of the other characters are drawn the same way. Tiger seems to be the "rich kid" with toys like a metal detector, a potter's wheel and a joke box. In other videos, he has a fancy jacket and a sailboat. I found it strange that Kipper, Tiger, Pig, Arnold and Jake (dogs and pigs) speak and behave like children, but in "Kipper the Hero", Jake has a kitten which is just a pet with no speech ability. Anyway, those are just some observations, and the whole viewing experience is well worth the price. Highly recommended for family viewing with young children.
Spend A Little Time With Kipper
By A2QNTHH66G4Q4F on 2005-09-13
Kipper is a mischievous puppy with a British accent who spends his time finding adventures with pals Arnold, Tiger, Pig, and Zebra. The series is based on the best selling books by Mike Inkpen. The stories are fun and easy to follow, foster ceative thinking, and reinforce messages such as cooperation, courtesy and kindness. And in regular language? Kipper is the perfect my-child-needs-to-unwind-and-it's-witching-hour-but-gotta-get-dinner-on-the-table video. It's completely non-grating, which may be important to those adults out there that are "Wiggled" or "Tuttered" out (for those familiar with the hyperactive puppet in "Bear In The Big Blue House"). Simply put, it's a good show and does not promote ADHD: more likely, it's even an antidote.
Great video!!!
By A2FDZAZ8SBIC6V on 2003-10-23
My son received this video for his second birthday and it's the only thing he'll watch! He could care less about anything on TV except this video. I'm a little sick of it, but I guess that's OK since he loves it so much. My 6-month old thinks it's pretty neat too!
Charming and funny!
By A14QJ4IN523A0R on 2004-07-09
My 2-1/2 year old daughter LOVES this video. The characters are sweet, funny and likable. The stories are simple but told in a charming way that isn't patronizing. The video does not have any violence or high action, and the humor is gentle and not demeaning, so it is more suited to younger children. Kindness and friendship among the characters is stressed. I've seen it multiple times with my child, and I enjoy its sweet humor, visual style and music (kind of jazzy). A word of caution: Multiple viewings may cause your child to pick up a British accent!
