Teletubbies: Dance with the Teletubbies (1998 Video) User Reviews

Why?

[KSprowl · 4/10 · 9 April 2005]

The Teletubbies leave me with thousands of questions..like...why do the exist...what the heck are they...why did kids love them so much...did the "PO" doll say what it sounded like he said? When my son was 3 he loved this so much that he wanted to see it every day and since it was a rental, as, God forbid, I would ever want to own a Teletubbies video, I ended up spending $18 in late fees, which is about triple what the darn dancing Teletubbies tape was worth in the first place.

Still wonder how jumping to North, South, East & West is considered a dance, but my son said after seeing me line dance, I should understand.(?)

Well, it's the Teletubbies, what do you expect?

Yeah, if you're an adult, or even a kid over five, this thing is dreadful.

But hey - it's not aimed at you. It's aimed at your 3 year old. And he loves it! God knows why Everything you need to know about the movie is right there in the title. Dipsy, Tinky Winky, Laa-Laa and Po .... dancing. For an hour. Aaarrrggghhhh.

What's worse, your 3 year old loves it so much, he 'll want to see it over and over again :) So if you truly love your kid, and are prepared to go through any sort of pain to make him happy, buy him this video. If you like your kid, but aren't going to go through hell for him ... leave well alone ;)

Childhood nostalgia

As by my review title, this brings a lot from my childhood when watching former videotapes I had: The Very Best of Postman Pat, Fireman Sam: Norman's Tricky Day and other episodes, Thomas the Tank Engine: Thomas and Stepney - and this videotape is very similar to videotape "Barney Songs" which based on season 3 of the show, while this is based back from several episodes of Teletubbies.

There's some parts I didn't like or bored of easily like Dancing Bear in carousel (done twice), seeing girl Laurette, Trit Trot, and the jumping scenes. Some dances are missing/not added like Dizzy Dance and Twisting Dance. There are funny moments like when Laa-Laa chased after Dipsy who refuses to wear the tutu skirt.

There is certain dance moments (or rather, the music played) I like: Walking Dance, Running Away Dance, Tiptoe Dance (definitely like music in that one), there's one of them splashing in puddle and one that's like "Ring Around the Rosie" on the hill near the windmill.

Only when it ends with Tubby Bye-bye, I feel sadly disappointed.
