Po the Teletubby is the youngest and most fun-loving character, speaking both Cantonese and English with a cute voice. Two talented actresses, Pui Fan Lee and Rachelle Beinart, have played Po throughout the years, showcasing their versatility. The Teletubbies series, created by Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport, has seen multiple revivals and continues to bring joy to viewers.

It was so long ago, it may be easy to forget that there was a time when you would flick on the TV (or ask an older sibling to do it for you) and settle back to enjoy the sunny wonder of The Teletubbies with all your colorful friends. Though for my money, none were as friendly nor as colorful as Po the Teletubby. Created by Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport for the BBC, Teletubbies is a children's program that aired from 1997 to 2001, then was rebooted for CBeebies from 2015-2018, and has...

"Abigail" star Alisha Weir was keen to perform as many of her own stunts as possible for the movie, in which she plays the titular ballerina vampire who is kidnapped by an ill-fated crew of criminals. Though stunt double Rachelle Beinart took over for the most dangerous and complex sequences, Weir's dance training made her a natural fit for learning combat choreography and flying through the air on wires. But one type of dance that she hadn't specifically trained in before was ballet -- which created a challenge, since "ballerina vampire" is the movie's hook, and the script opens with Abigail dancing to "Swan Lake." 

Not just any dancing: Abigail is en pointe, an advanced ballet technique that requires the dancer to point their feet straight down and dance on their toes. Though some people are able to stand en pointe with bare feet for a few seconds (a party...

If you're a parent, chances are you have an intimate knowledge of all things "Bluey," "Daniel Tiger," "Sesame Street," "Paw Patrol," "Arthur," "Peppa Pig," and the nightmarish curse known as "CoComelon." Pre-school programming is in a sincere heyday, and despite involuntarily flinching whenever you hear the "Hot Dog!" song from "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse," children's programming is the best it's been in years. As with all genres of entertainment, kiddie shows have also seen a resurgence in nostalgia. Millennials lost their collective minds when Steve returned for a "Blue's Clues" cameo, and all cried like toddlers once again when he gave us hopeful messages during quarantine. 

There's been some reassessment as of late regarding public opinions of beloved children's figures like "Barney the Dinosaur," but few could have predicted the return of one of the most polarizing figures in children's entertainment history. I'm talking about "Teletubbies."

For those that were too...

Some of television’s most beloved (and reviled) children’s characters are headed to streaming. The first trailer for Netflix’s upcoming “Teletubbies” revival series has been released, promising a return to the long-running franchise’s bizarre world.

First created in 1997 by Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport, “Teletubbies” is a British children’s show aimed at toddlers. Named after the main characters — a bizarre quartet of multi-colored, toddler-like creatures with antennae on their heads and television screens on their bellies — the show follows them exploring and playing in the grassy landscape they call home. The original show ran for five seasons and over 300 episodes and developed a global following thanks to syndication in over 120 countries. Even outside of its target demographic, the show quickly became famous for its surreal tone and character designs, and attracted sometimes bizarre controversy — such as when televangelist Jerry Falwell accused one of the Teletubbies, Tinky Winky,...

Teletubbies are making a return. A new, animated incarnation of the popular British kids series, narrated by Tituss Burgess (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), will premiere on Netflix Nov. 14. The project was announced as part of the streamer’s fall preschool slate, which also includes Princess Power, a new animated series based on the New York Times bestselling book series Princesses Wear Pants by Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie and Allison Oppenheim, as well as the previously announced Spirit Rangers, inspired by stories from Native American tribes and landscapes of American national parks.

Returning series on the roster include CoComelon, Gabby’s Dollhouse and Waffles + Mochi.

Teletubbies became a global phenomenon when it first aired from 1997-2001 and was later rebooted for a 2015-1018 run.
