Summary: Best value of all the Teletubbies videos
Comment: Teletubbies is the first tv show that my kids were able to focus on. (Elmo was a close second.) They were able to pay attention to it for long periods of time as early as six-months old. I have since collected all the Teletubbies available on DVD. This particular one is a favorite just because it is the longest. The main feature is 100 minutes long, plus it comes with two bonus featurettes. One bonus is a "music video" of the theme song, which is just a montage of clips. The other bonus is really an entire 30-minute episode intended to encourage exercise. (The Teletubbies reach up, reach down, sit, stand, etc.) When you count the main feature and bonuses you've got well over two-hours of entertainment for your preschooler. This is one of the videos we grab over and over for long car trips with the portable DVD player.

Comment: Another reviewer wrote "I see nothing to gain with Teletubbies except a blank stare from your child where there was no input other than watching guys in suits run around and play."
Well, all I have to say is that it's for toddlers. My daughter who is now 7 grew up on these and she's at the head of her class. I'm lettitng my 18mo. old son watch them too. We made learning a fun, optional thing, and now she loves it. I've seen kids who were crammed learning and info and they started hating it when they realized school was the same thing.
This is entertainment, pure and simple. Kids need a few years just for their brains to get in gear. Are you the type of parent who makes your kids sit and watch you do flashcards when their brains are incapable of processing most of the info you give them?
I started learning stuff when I was 3 and I'm fairly intelligent with an IQ in the mid hundreds. I am not making my kids "learn" until they are actually capable of it. Most people I know don't have many memories from before 30 months or so.
Should I cram information into my kids that they won't remember, or should I spend the first few years with them showing them I love them and that there's more to life than acheiving things?
Get a grip. Let your kids have fun their first few years. They have the rest of their life to compete and be miserable. I'm not saying my way is right, but children should be given many routes to be the best and maybe mindlessly watching Teletubbies when they're 1,2&3 will help them. It definately hasn't hurt anyone.
Also, for the guy who reviewed it and gave a film critic review about it complaining about the music and production values. Right-on man. Too bad my 18mo. old son doesn't notice this.

Summary: Teletubbies- Silly Songs and Funny Dances
Comment: This DVD may catch your childs attention, but I do not recommend this one. Content makes no sense. Sure it has bright colors- so does the sun. Instead buy Baby Einstein- we are collecting the series as we get money. At least with Baby Einstein you get Mozart, Bach, and something to learn. I see nothing to gain with Teletubbies except a blank stare from your child where there was no input other than watching guys in suits run around and play. Even Barney blows this away.

Summary: Thrilled to have a hit at last
Comment: We have tried a number of children's movies to catch the eye of our little fellow. Nothing has worked. The only thing on t.v. that has ever interested him (he is 2 1/2) is football, basketball, and sometimes hockey. One morning my husband was flipping channels and he happened upon Teletubbies on PBS and our little boy became totally engrossed. He became a daily watcher. :-)
I bought this particular DVD because he loves music and it seemed like a good one to start with. He will sit in front of the t.v. and watch it very intently.
Our favorite part is La-La's Secret Dance.
I think any one who dogs these characters doesn't have a clue of how much little children love them.

Given the army of 1-year-olds who take their first wobbly dance steps to the Tubbies theme song, it's high time a program turned the tables on Tinky and the gang getting busy to a beat. Silly Songs and Funny Dances does just that, swooping in on Tubbyland and its flannel-wrapped, rainbow-hued foursome for an hour-long look at Laa-Laa twirling in a tutu, the noisy NuNu wrecking various lovely renditions of "Twinkle Twinkle," Dipsy and the others delivering ditties dedicated to their favorite things, and tummy-TV segments on a satin-fingered harpist and budding ballerinas. Before it's time for Tubbie bye-bye, magic mittens get Po and Tinky-Winky grooving on the Tubbie AstroTurf and a big hug or two makes its way into the mix. Guaranteed to trip your toddler's instinct to get down. --Tammy La Gorce
