Time for Tubby bedtime! But those lovable, roly-poly critters are having a heck of a time settling down with their Tubbytronic blankies. First Tinky Winky wants to dance, then Laa-Laa gets the itch to play with her big orange ball, and Po just has to zoom around on her squeaky scooter. Each takes turns waking the others, resulting in 70 minutes of favorite songs such as "Rock-a-bye Baby" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider," simple bedtime stories, and plenty of wiggles and giggles. Not exactly "lulling," the show mirrors its typical 30-minute television format: The four waddling Teletubbies chatter, eat Tubby toast, and tune in to their glowing tummies to watch short videos of kids and grown-ups interacting. The video vignettes range from the fairly quiet (a mother bathing her infant and preparing him for bed) to the rather noisy (a group of schoolkids rocking out to "Hey Diddle Diddle," performed by a crooning singer and his jazz quartet). Yet for the young viewers (ages 1 to 4) who love their Teletubbies, this film provides twice as much material as the daily PBS television show. --Liane Thomas

5.0 out of 5 stars Teletubbie Nap Time, August 2, 2000

If you have seen Teletubbies before, its the same edge of the seat heart thumping excitement (not!). But from my 10 month old daughter's perspective, this is great stuff.

The Teletubbies speak a little more than usual, and the seventy minutes of video has no repeats (prefaced by the famous "Again! Again!").

A delightful adventure for anyone learning to watch television.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bedtime With The Teletubbies, September 14, 2001

This review is from: Teletubbies - Bedtime Stories and Lullabies [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Bright colors, slow pace, nice transitions, fun jazz band. Encourages napping, going to bed, and teaches manners when somebody else is sleeping. Shows a preschooler how to help care for a sibling. Great diversity. Good parent guide. Familiar music is a big hit. The kids loved singing along, doing the actions and dancing. They shouted when they saw their favorite characters. "It was fun to look at." "Teletubbies treat each other right." Repeating the live characters was a plus. Best for ages 0 to 2.

This review is from: Teletubbies - Bedtime Stories and Lullabies [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Teletubbies are gentle and caring. I realize there was some controversy over the Teletubbies. However, I found them to teach sweet lessons of caring, watching over each other, gentleness and so on.

This video is about going to bed and having sweet dreams. There are lullaby songs, short little segments that are typical of the other Teletubbies vidoes make this a good video to watch for five to ten minutes before turning off the TV. Manners for when someone is sleeping are demonstrated in one segment. Nothing is repeated which makes this a much more engaging video than the other Teletubbies videos.

Enjoy.
