Kipper - Kipper Helps Out

This is the latest Kipper DVD to be added to our collection. It only has six stories, but they're really good ones.We didn't get the earlier VHS editions, so all the stories are new to my four year old, who thoroughly enjoys them. As a matter of fact, my two year old nephew is now a convert.The beauty of the DVD edition is the feature which allows you to choose an episode, or play them all, or play them all continuously, the last being the favorite pick at our house.In "The Visitor", Kipper looks after a little lost gosling. This is a good story if your kids are really messy, as Kipper is continuously cleaning up after his little charge."Pig's Present" tells of Pig's birthday and all the pets he receives as gifts. The part with the hamster going through Kipper's "obstacle course" is great fun."The Butterfly" teaches that the best things in life should be free."The Bleepers" will have your kids speaking strangely, and eating lollipops.Arnold is formally introduced in "Pig's Cousin" - I had previously thought they were brothers."The Little Ghost" is the most entertaining story of the lot, with the most "special effects" of any Kipper episode.If you haven't already seen the early episodes, I strongly recommend this one. If not, borrow it just for "The Little Ghost"Amanda Richards, March 25, 2005

The episode called "Little Ghost" needs some attention from parents. I'm glad I was watching with my 4-year-old son when that episode started so I could stop it on time. I watched with my wife later and we feel it's not appropriate for our son's age. We don't have a very good explanation about what a ghost is, which will make him even more confused. That doesn't do any good for kids this age whose imagination are so fertile, leading to bad dreams at night. That's definitely not funny for him nor for us.

My grandson is Autistic and obsesses with certain characters. This is one of them and I bought it for him. It came in on time and works great. Happy grandson!

Very mellow show. We leave it on when we're away for our doggies.

My son loves Kipper! We love the sweet, calm stories that pertain to real life, and I love that it's not hyperactive or obnoxious like some cartoons are. Yea, Kipper!

My grandkids love this show! It's nice it doesn't have many words, but so adorable. Good for all ages!

This is the first choice of my grandkids. Kipper and his friend Tiger are like part of the family. I had almost forgotten about Kipper-my 10 year old grandson liked him. Then I saw someone complain about always getting "Kipper recommendation" in her choices. Kipper is like an old friend back for another extented stay in the Hackney household. WE LOVE KIPPER !!

This is my favorite of the wonderful Kipper stories. Kipper stories are sweet and simple, but with a clever humor for both kids and grown-ups.

We love kipper ... for young child (3-5 ans) it's slow and funny. But the pig is not nice with the little pig. And, It's not possible to choose the show that we want.

Kipperはほのぼのしていて、なんとなく安心して子供に見せられます。音も映像もうるさくなく、イギリス英語もここちよいです。ただ、うちの子供たちはKipperよりもBonusで入っていたAngelinaやBarneyなどをもっと熱心に見ていました。Kipperが気に入らなくても、Bonusで入っているお話のなかからお気に入りが見つかるかも。

親子共々、kipperの大ファンで、このDVD/ビデオで１０本目になります。イギリス英語でゆっくり、のんびりした時間を作ってくれる癒しでもあります。娘は２歳半から見ていましたが、もっと早くに出会えれば良かったと思っています。kipperは乳幼児や英語初心者の方から、かなり理解の出来るお子さんや大人まで幅広く楽しめるものではないでしょうか。短編で幾つか有り、DVDなら好きな場面から見たり、(ビデオでも)時間を決めて見せることが出来ます。あと、このDVDはスペイン語もあり、他言語を始めたい方にもピッタリではないかと思います。

3歳の息子のために初めて買ってみました。Kipperも他のキャラもほんわかでかわいいです。5分くらいのお話が６つ入っています。嵐で迷い込んだ（？）鴨の赤ちゃんを世話したり、UFOが壊れた宇宙人を助けたり、友達のPigのいとこの赤ちゃんを公園に連れて行ったり、とストーリーもほのぼのしています。怖がりのおばけが出る話は、ちっとも怖くないと思うのですが、息子は怖がって見ようとしません。ストーリーが優しさにあふれていて、しかも面白い。英語なので、嫌がるかと思ったのですが、何度も見て大笑いしています。オススメです。後で気付いたのですが、EXTRAで「ボブとブーブーズ」や「ピングー」などが1話ずつ入っていました。3歳児の母としては「Kipper」がダントツでイイです。ただし、リージョンコードが1の為、手持ちのプレイヤーで見られるかは注意が必要です。知らずに買ってしまい、プレイヤーも買う羽目になりました。（欲しかったから良かったのですが。）なので、星は4つにしました。

ソニーのアクオスでは再生できず、実家と義父母宅のプレイヤーでもダメでした。仕方なくPCで見せていましたが、しばらくお蔵入りになっていました。しかし、このたびリージョンフリーのプレイヤーを激安で購入し、やっとテレビで見られました。これを買う人は、リージョンフリーでしか使えないと思った方が良いのではないかと思います。
