The animated British pup and his buddies tackle monsters, dinosaurs, robots, aliens, flying machines, and invisible friends in these seven stories from the Nick Jr. series based on Mick Inkpen's books. Of course, the monsters and dinosaurs don't turn out to be real and the balloon-powered machine needs a steep hill to get off the ground in this gentle 54-minute program. But, to the delight of young viewers, the imaginary friend and the aliens are quite genuine, balls bounce of their own accord, and cookies rain down from outer space. The characters are quietly droll, the situations harmlessly absurd, and the message of friendship and consideration unmistakable. Less cloying than some of its competitors, this series will spark the imaginations of children aged 2 to 6, without annoying their parents. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Customer Reviews

A video kids & parents can watch over & over & over again!
My 4 year old son is not allowed to watch TV. Instead he watches educational and fun videos. He has the entire Kipper collection, and is eagerly awaiting the next release in January. Of all his videos (Thomas, Barney, Bob the Builder and Trains) this is the one he watches the most frequently and loves the most. He likes me to watch with him and as any parent knows, that can be very trying on a parent's sanity after the 750th time. Not so with Kipper, he still makes me (the mom) laugh, even though I know the dialogue by heart.

The thing I love the most about this character is that Kipper has taught my son how to deal with all sorts of situations in a positive manner. I've watched him in playground situations where he's used Kipper's words to express his displeasure at unfairness without being mean to the other child. This alone was worth the money I spent on this video. Don't hesitate, buy it, you will both love it!

Not this one
My son LOVES Kipper. He likes to watch the videos at night when he's winding down but not this one. It scares him. He doesn't like the Robot, the park monster or the dinosaur. He isn't usually scared of things. He watches Scooby Doo. Whenever I put this one in, he says "Not this one, it's mean." (???)

Simply the best childrens video!
I have ordered every Kipper video there is. The whole Kipper collection is fantastic. No violence, harsh words, etc. . . just a kind, sweet, charming dog that shares and cares with his friends. The great thing is that the videos are entertaining enough that I don't even mind watching them over and over again. I highly recommend this and other Kipper movies to other parents.
