This is the set to buy of the fantastic and underrated 80's cartoon., February 7, 2009
This review is from: The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin: Come Dream With Me - Complete Series (DVD)
The release of the Teddy Ruxpin cartoon series to dvd has been rather convoluted, with the owners to the rights changing, and it can be confusing about which set(s) to buy. To clear things up: this is the product you want. This contains the entire 65-episode series on 6 discs. It is a package containing all 3 of the Teddy Ruxpin dvd releases by Mill Creek Entertainment. Buying this gets you these three products, in exactly the same packaging, all put into a sleeve:
Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin - The Six Crystals
The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin: Mysteries of Hard to Find City
The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin: Return to Rillonia Episodes 41-65
As for the series itself, it's a given that this is a must-have for any Teddy Ruxpin fan. And for those who are less familiar with the series, it's pretty typical of 80's cartoons, but has a few unique aspects to it. The plot is continuous and develops across all 65 episodes, which certainly makes it a lot more interesting than most other 80's cartoons. The first five episodes (which were released to VHS years ago as a seperate movie) are absolutely fantastic and should be seen and studied by any fan of the 80's. The story slows down a little after that, and you get to enjoy the plot thickening and deepening as it gains momemtum toward a great ending.
Teddy is a great role model for kids and every episode teaches good values. The series is filled with great music and songs, and several of the episodes are real gems. It is very much an underrated show.

A Dream Come True, January 29, 2009
This review is from: The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin: Come Dream With Me - Complete Series (DVD)
Bein born in 1985, I spent my days enjoying great cartoons. Now, I have been on my own adventure: to rediscover the cartoons that I loved so much as a child. I was thrilled to discover that Teddy Ruxpin was yet again available and even more thrilled to find out that the entire series was available as a single collection. Let me say that I was not disappointed after a months wait. The Teddy Ruxpin collection is now one of my jewels in my cartoon collection. All in all, its a quality cartoon, a quality collection and set at a quality price!

Fantasy Fun For All Ages, May 2, 2009
This review is from: The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin: Come Dream With Me - Complete Series (DVD)
I don't think that Teddy Ruxpin was exclusivley Canadian, but I do know that virtually every Canadian in my generation remembers Teddy and loves him dearly. The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin chronicle the escapades of Teddy Ruxpin, an Illiop (a walking talking teddy bear), and his friends Grubby, the octoped (a catapillar person with 8 feet) and Gimick, an absent-minded tinker, as they make their way around the fantastical world of Rillonia.
I was worried when I first bought this series that it might be too juvinile for me to enjoy in my adulthood as I've found some of my old favourite cartoons shows do not age well like Thundercats; however, the best surprize I've had while rediscovering Teddy Ruxpin is just how well it is written. This is a show for youngsters so there is no blood, lots of talking about emotions, and LOTS of singing; however none of the "pappy" stuff gets in the way of the story telling. There is still plenty of action in every episode and the comedic relief provided by the shows arch nemesis Tweeg and L.B. is priceless.
If you're looking for some family-safe fun to enjoy with imaginative toddlers or if you are just looking to reconnect with a truely wonderful and innocent piece of your childhood look no further than Teddy!
