In a cute and cuddly cartoon character contest, Kipper would come in second only to Pooh. Add a British bunch of fluffy and feathered creatures to the show's mix (as seen on Nick Jr.), and the adorable quotient skyrockets, as we see in Cuddly Creatures. Here, Kipper, Tiger, Jake, Pig, and Arnold are up to their pastel forepaws in rascally new friends--Jake's bird flies the coop, a tadpole and a goldfish swap swimming holes, a smart-alecky parrot pretends he's an echo, a mouse makes off with Kipper's cornflakes, then sticks around for a hide-and-seek match, and a wily hedgehog wanders about confounding would-be hunters. Best about Critters is what's not present. All is calm and quiet in Kipper's camp; there are no fits and only minor fusses, a constant in the series that's earned it a trusty following, most likely of mellowed-out little kids and their contented caregivers. --Tammy La Gorce

Product Description

Meet Kipper™, a loveable dog with a big imagination! Today’s the day to join Kipper, Tiger, Jake, Pig and Arnold in their wondrous world of magic and fun. Birds and fish and mice, oh my! Little critters are great for cuddling – and excitement! Just ask Kipper, as he and his friends enjoy one animal adventure after another. Is a nest just for the birds or can Kipper and Tiger make themselves at home, too? Pig accidentally allows Jake’s bird to escape; can Kipper and his friends find the missing Fluff? In another episode, Kipper is confused – is that an echo or is someone talking back to him? And who’s eating Kipper’s cereal and playing with his toys? It’s one adventure after another when Kipper talks to the animals! Whether it’s a wandering hedgehog, a homeless goldfish, or a playful mouse, Kipper keeps busy with his animal friends. And you can count on fun with Kipper and the cuddly critters! Approx. Run time: 60 minutes

4.0 out of 5 stars Critter Crazy, October 27, 2005

By	Amanda Richards "Modest to the extreme" (Georgetown, Guyana) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Like all Kipper DVDs, this one is great value for money. Seven child-pleasing episodes make for an hour of fun, and this one is especially good for animal lovers. Martin Clunes again provides the voice for Kipper, and Chris Lang for everybody else.

The 7 episodes are:

The Nest - Kipper and Tiger come across a little lost bird, and while trying to get it back to its nest, they decide to try living in a tree. The worm hunting scene is hilarious, as is the nest building exercise.

Jake's Bird - Jake's pet bird flies the coop, and Kipper and Pig team up to help find it. They find more than they bargain for.

Echo, Echo - A clever parrot makes Kipper think he's hearing things. The parrot is an extremely funny character, with all the "good" lines.

The Goldfish - Kipper and Tiger both have aquatic pets, at least temporarily. The goldfish takes sweet revenge.

The Mouse - Kipper gets an uninvited house guest (The mouse is a little annoying)

Hide and Seek - More mouse play and lessons in counting

Hedgehog Watch - A spiky critter gets the upper hand on Kipper and Tiger.

Great for pre-school or kindergarten kids, and for adults needing a little peace and quiet.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the Best Kipper Video, But Still Worth Buying, January 31, 2005

By	Iris "AZ_Mommy" (Gilbert, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kipper - Cuddly Critters [VHS] (VHS Tape)

We own Pools Parks & Picnics, Fun In the Sun, Let It Snow, and the Playtime DVDs. I would have to say this ranks at the bottom of the popularity list among all that we own, but it's still good ole Kipper, so if you already have a few, it might be worth adding to your collection. If you haven't yet purchased Playtime, I would recommend that one for sure, followed by Pools Parks & Picnics -- buy those before you buy this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kipper to the rescue, April 15, 2002

Once again, Kipper has proved the perfect carton to play just before bedtime. And, again, the values of caring and sharing are displayed in such a subtle way that it was easy to mention these themes after the tape while my son was brushing his teeth for bed. Thank the group in England and Hungary(?) for doing these films!!
