My one-year-old boy loves this video. It's composed of the parts of the show he really likes; mostly dancing Teletubbies, and "baby sun face." The tubbies do a follow the leader dance, a splashing dance, and a stomping dance, plus a few others, I think.

As soon as I put in this video, my son started dancing, without any encouragement. Now, he's starting to try to trot when the video comes to the "trot-trot" part. This video makes him laugh and smile a lot, and calmed him down a lot when he couldn't sleep the night before a surgery. While the things it teaches aren't what most would consider "learning objectives" (dancing, trotting, waving bye-bye) it's definitely right at my son's learning level. A great investment if you have a kid age 10 months to 18 months, I think.

After reading the rave reviews in this section, I purchased this video hoping for that long-awaited relaxing coffee break. But as I slid in the video hoping to see my toddler become absorbed by the fun, I was disappointed to find that she insisted on Mommy joining in with her on the dances! I now cannot put on the video without having to participate all the way to the end.

But I realized that maybe it was less coffee breaks and more exercise that I had really needed. Following through with all the dances as best you can is quite a work-out.

And yes, she does love it, for all the reasons mentioned by the other reviewers. All the more chances for me to shape up!

As the parent of an extremely active and easily bored 7 month-old, I don't know what I would do without this video. Our daughter absolutely LOVES it. With all the expensive equipment we have to entertain her, this ...video is the only item that holds her attention for any length of time. When she starts to cry, we happily reply with, "Time for Teletubbies!" Our vocabulary at home now includes "jumpy catchy ball", "hee-ya", and "again, again". Our little one squeals, laughs, giggles, and "talks" to this video...even though she can't mimic the movements yet, she is definitely interacting and not just being stuck in front of the television. She gets a little bored with the real-life segments, but we can always fast-forward to the songs and dances. We have other Teletubbies videos, but this one is almost all music, and is definitely the least annoying. I want to give this video a BIIIIG HUUUUG!

My little boy from about 18 months and continuing to about age 2 1/2 was a big fan of the Teletubbies. Because of this, and the fact that he liked music and dancing, we picked up this video for him. It was a big hit. In fact, if does want to watch a Teletubbie video, this is usually the one he'll choose even now.

This is just a collection of the dances you see on the other videos, television shows, and a few new ones thrown in. There is no talking except for the announcer naming the dance. There are not any really silly antics such as bumping into each other, etc, unless it's tied into the dance. The music is fun and upbeat.

Both of my children enjoy dancing to the music and trying to do what they see the Teletubbies do.

I realize that there is some controversy over the Teletubbies, and I realize that many people don't like them in general. However, I didn't pick this little video up for myself, I picked it up for my child. He likes it and now so does my baby girl (age 15 months).

I tend to believe that kids should play with toys rather than sit in front of a tv. However, there are times that you want your child to be entertained for a few minutes. If this is the case, then I have found this to be a good video for that.

I cannot believe how much my 22-month old daughter loves this tape. She wakes up in the morning and begs for the video to be turned on so she can dance her "Happy Dance." Of all the Teletubbies tapes I find this the least annoying, because it is mostly music. I am also happy that my daughter is dancing, jumping, and moving during the entire tape, instead of sitting mesmerized on the floor with her sippy cup in her mouth. It is one video I feel good about her watching. She has learned to give "big hugs" from the Teletubbies tapes, and has picked up other positive behavior patterns, so while I think the tubbies are ugly, weird, and bizarre, they seem to be wonderful friends to her. I highly recommend this tape, and the 50 minute length gives kids a real work-out, especially if you are interested in tiring them out for a nap or before bedtime.

I do not understand my 18 month old daughter's incredible love for this video. She likes Elmo, enjoys a couple of other videos we've shown her, but her overwhelming excitement the minute this tape comes on screen is hypnotic to watch. It's like there is something going on in this program that only a little girl can see. And, her excitement does not dissipate as the program plays. She would, if permitted, watch the entire video over and over again.

I am not one for letting her get caught up in video watching, but frankly, she not only watches the tape, she dances to it, jumps up and down with it, overflows with emotion at the sun-baby, laughs at the bunnies (the real ones) and stamps her feet with the tap-dancing little bear.

So, as the title of this review states, "I don't get it, and I don't care", my little pumpkin' thinks the Tubbies are the coolest thing (next to dad, of course). :)

My 20 month old and, just recently, my 6 month old are enjoyingthis Teletubbies video! Whenever I am working in the kitchen or needto make a phone call, I can count on this video to entertain my little ones for a short time! Because it involves a lot of music and dancing, my 20 month old enjoys joining in. She also likes seeing the videos of children doing things that she has not seen before.

Ignore all of the conflict you hear about the Teletubbies. This is a wonderful, educational, fun show for infants and toddlers! My 8 month old pays complete attention to the entire show and can sit through almost of the movie. She recognizes the Teletubbies in the store and lights up. In this video, there is lots of slow action and cute music that she really seems to be able to follow and understand. I recommend this video for any child from birth to about 3 or 4.

My 18 month old daughter loves this tape! Since she started watching Teletubbies, she is learning more words. She loves to see them dance and all the kids dance...specially Loretta. The hour long video gives me the chance to get some laundry done or just read a book while she watches contently. I even have it playing on long trips in my van's VCR. She now wants anything Tubbies and to keep her from watching tv too much, I buy tubby books and read them to her instead. Or while she plays, have tubby music, and she enjoys it all the same

While I was not a fan of the teletubbies, to see my child's face light up - to see her jump off her seat and start "tap dancing" with the child in the video made me want to watch to see what it was about. Now we dance together with the video.
