Kipper

Kipper is a show that teaches you values and shows you how to have fun it teaches you to be Patient

Having watched everything made for children in the last few years because of my young daughter, I have to say that this is the best children's series ever made.

Kipper the Dog and his best friend Tiger have all sorts of adventures. Contains all the characters we come across in our lives. Kipper the completely affable dog has lots of friends, Tiger boastful but when it comes down to it is a complete 'scaredy cat', don't we all know one of these?! Totally under-rated and under-marketed, these Mick Inkpen stories are classics and will entertain for generations if only they would be released on DVD.

Deserves prime time children's TV slot for eternity! Well done Mick Inkpen and the team...

Growing up, I was never much into kid's shows. My family has always been heavily into sports, and being one of the younger members of the family, I spent a majority of the late 90s - early 2000s watching college sports with my family, then watching nothing but ESPN during the week. However, occasionally I would feel like watching something non-sports centered. My mom stumbled upon some Kipper VHSs from a friend who had a kid a couple years older than me, and I immediately fell in love with it.

The calming, gentle voices were perfect. The animation is subtle, minimal and just what is needed for a kids show. There weren't bright and abrasive colors, loud and shocking sounds, nor any way too over the top childish behavior from the main characters. Kipper is the perfect children's show for all kids. It teaches valuable lessons, gives heart warming moments, and it is all presented without over stimulation. Kipper the Dog is a perfect television show that I will cherish even 20 years after watching it. I can't wait for the day to be able to watch Kipper with my own kids one day and remember all the happy Saturday mornings watching this as a kid.

As A Kid I Would Always Watch this on my DVD's and VHS's. The Episode that makes me cry every time is "The Little Ghost" partictuly near the end, it always had me crying. Typing this also has me in tears, it's just as emotional today as it was when I was a toddler. The Episode that made me laugh the most was "Tiger's Sled" It's Unironically funny with their Screams.

I adored this show as a kid, I just found it so charming and well-done. The animation is great, simple yes but also very effective. I loved the music as well, the theme song was catchy and memorable. The stories were simple and educational, the writing is funny and intelligent and the characters are really endearing. I like how Kipper is responsible and resourceful yet cool as well, and I love Tiger's boastful attitude. My favourite though is Arnold, he is just so sweet and adorable. And I liked the voice acting, Martin Clunes is brilliant here as Kipper, seeing as he is a great actor who has given a number of strong performances,lead or supporting (ie. the ITV adaptation of Goodbye Mr Chips), why shouldn't he do a voice here? Overall, this was a great show, perfect for kids and adults. 10/10 Bethany Cox
