I didn't buy this at first because I was of the impression that it was a compilation of water episodes from the other DVDs. We own most, if not all, of the other DVDs and I can't say that I've seen any of the episodes before. They may have been shown on TV, or may have been on the earlier VHS tapes, but nevertheless they were all new to me.

This one is very short at five episodes, not the length of the usual Kipper value packs, and the biggest problem is that Pig and Arnold are missing. Gotta have those pigs!

The five episodes are imaginative as usual, including a talking magic frog and an elephant, plus Kipper does a great Gene Kelly/Mary Poppins impression on an umbrella adventure.

Not the best Kipper to start with, but reasonable entertainment for seasoned veterans.

Our family has all of the Kipper videos and we have always loved them. We were excited to see a new edition but were very disappointed upon reciept when we realized that all but 1 of the stories on this DVD was on previous DVD's. If they are going to do a compilation DVD it should be advertised as such. We felt very cheated since for the money we paid we only got one new episode.

I have to say that I enjoy all the Kipper videos and this one is no exception. I have a 3 year old daughter who delights in watching Kipper and Tiger's antics in this particular DVD.

One great thing about Kipper videos is that they aren't full of violence and instead are low-key and show Kipper working out problems or learning new things. That is a rare find in the selection of "children's" videos.

We have all the Kipper movies and this one is disappointing. First of all, it's full price for only 5 stories compared to the usual 7 or 8, Secondly, Pig and Arnold aren't on any of the stories. If this was the first Kipper DVD for us to see, I wouldn't buy any more. Fortunately we have the others and they're pretty good.

This was the first Kipper DVD I bought for my son. It is still his favourite. He will choose this over an above all the other Kipper videos he owns. His favourite episode is the first one, The Umbrella, in which Kipper takes an amazing journey with an umbrella. Yes, it is short, but I felt it was a good length for a child's attention span. Also, it is very quiet and low-key, which is sometimes a very good thing. It makes an excellent just-before-bedtime video.

My children are disabled and are very choosy about what they watch. They loved this DVD and it kept them interested with lots of giggles so of course I think it is wonderful!

Unbeatable price, prompt shipping and product arrived in excellent condition. My son watches this dvd on repeat all day long and it still plays perfectly. Thumbs up!

Finally a series of DVD's for tots to preschoolers that one can place in the DVD drive and not fear having to "watch" to make sure there is no violence or anything tawdry. These are wonderful shows, clever, witty and low tech- by that I mean no wild stuff, no shrieks, no kabooms- no screeching tires- no fights or tussles- just a few pals in quiet pursuits. this is a "grammy" review by the way. A++++++++++++++++++++++++ all the way.

We have about 6 or 7 other Kipper DVDs. We love them all. Yes, this one may not have all the characters...but we still love it. Kipper is always good clean entertainment for the kids!

My 3 year old cannot get enough of Kipper. He loves the cartoon and even giggles out loud while he watches. They are very simple stories but very entertaining for a toddler. I am very happy I purchased these DVD's for him. Kipper DVDs are a must while traveling!
