Review Teletubbies - Busy Day / 2 Entertain Video:

In Teletubbies, Busy Day Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa Laa and Po giggle and romp their way through a day filled with Tubby toast, laughter and play. This video has the usual Tubby mix of music, repetition and movement, designed to stimulate children's imaginations, promote speech and increase confidence. Our young reviewers needed little encouragement to join in with the action on screen and when the voice trumpet called out parts of the body for the Tubbies to wash, they had plenty of time to think of the answer, shout it at the screen and perform the actions. All the familiar features of the series are here: reliable Noo-noo who cleans up when Po encounters difficulty with the Tubby custard machine, the gurgling sun and lots and lots of rabbits; and when the magic windmill turns, real children are shown having a busy day too, cleaning their teeth, going for a walk and getting ready for bed. Teletubbies, Busy Day is another delightful glimpse of life in Teletubby land that toddlers will want to see again and again and again. -Helen Baker Running time: 71 minutes approximately.

Review Tweenies - Song Time! [1999] / 2 Entertain Video:

The Tweenies are back for some more all-singing, all-dancing fun. This lively nursery is attended by four, multi-coloured children, with oversize shoes and large, happy faces-Bella, Milo, Fizz and Jake-and a large, fluffy red dog. Aimed at pre-teen children, from about age three, The Tweenies is popular BBC TV show that encourages activity and participation in the viewer. After the lively "Come and Have Fun with the Tweenies" introductory song, each episode starts with the Tweeny Clock, which has five options, one of which is "Songtime". This collection for video, Songtime, is a non-stop series of upbeat songs, both familiar and new, and the Tweeny children have great fun dressing-up as the characters and acting out the storylines. Favourite and familiar songs such as "10 Fat Sausages Sizzling in a Pan", "If You're happy and You Know it", "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" and "The Grand Old Duke of York" are interspersed with new songs, such as "Feel the Music" and "Rainy Day", all of them with actions to copy, so by time gentler songs such as "I'd Like To Be A Bubble" comes on, you will all be glad of the rest! -Alison Jardine.

Review / The Muppet Christmas Carol [1992]
Actors & Directors
  • David Alan Barclay
  • Donald Austen
  • Robbie Barnett
  • Dave Goelz
  • Michael Caine
  • Brian Henson
Run time: 85 min.
Creator: Charles Dickens

Review The Muppet Christmas Carol [1992]:

Brian Henson directs his late father's creations in the Charles Dickens classic, the best known (and most oft-filmed) Christmas story of all time. Michael Caine plays the old miser Scrooge with Kermit as his long-suffering but ever-hopeful employee Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy as Cratchit's wife, and a host of Muppets (including the Great Gonzo as an unlikely Charles Dickens) taking other primary roles in this bright, playful adaptation of the sombre tale. Or at least it starts brightly enough-the anarchic humour soon settles into mirthful memories and a sense of melancholy as the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future take Scrooge on a journey of his lonely, wasted life. Michael Caine makes a wonderful Scrooge, delightfully rediscovering the meaning of life as fantastic creations from Henson's Creature Shop (developed specially for this film) take the reins as the three ghosts. While the odd mix of offbeat humour and sombre drama undercuts the power of Dickens's drama, this kid-friendly retelling makes an excellent family drama that adults and children alike can enjoy. -Sean Axmaker.

Review Pete's Dragon [1977] / Walt Disney Home Video:

Disney loved to mix live action with animation (Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks), but this 1977 effort falls on its face. The turn-of-the-century story concerns an orphaned boy whose only friend is a cartoon monster. While the latter is entertainingly rendered, the rest of the film strains to be enchanting and the cast overreaches in a big way. Not for anybody over the age of ten. -Tom Keogh.

Review Teletubbies - 2 Video Box Set, Here Come The Teletubbies & Uh-oh! Messes And Muddles [1997] / 2 Entertain Video:

Here comes Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po! The colourful, chubby, futuristic foursome, get up to lots of adventures in this box set collection containing two Teletubbies tapes, Here Come the Teletubbies and Messes and Muddles. With plenty of the wonderfully intriguing sounds-from the giggles of the Sun Baby, to the slurping sounds of Noo-Noo, to the "tuning" noise of the loudspeakers-that are the trademark of this BBC show, this box set has lots of short stories containing some Teletubby favourites. Here Come the Teletubbies On this early collection, the tubby toast machine goes berserk and throws toast everywhere, the magic rain cloud appears and makes puddles to splash in, a surreal, computer-generated animal parade marches across the valley, Po makes a trail of tubby custard all over Tubby land and then falls over all the time-there are, of course, two short films of real-life children, from the TV-tummy of the Tubbies, that make this such fun for older toddlers too. Messes and Muddles These stories see Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po feeling very, very happy-but leaving very messy beds! Then, tubby custard is spilt everywhere, the tubby toast machines goes berserk and a little fluffy cloud floats into the house and fills it from top to bottom-and the little Noo-noo has to suck all the mess up! The Tubbies get together for a dance, and then real-life children from their TV-tummies do a huge painting with their feet and hands, and blow coloured bubbles. -Alison Jardine.
