Teletubbies - Christmas in the Snow

Amazon.com

Caregivers looking to keep the littlest kids occupied while they wrap a present or two this Christmas season have lucked out: Teletubbies: Christmas in the Snow is a two-volume, 90-minute jumble of the usual near-mindless meanderings of Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po mixed with a handful of visits to Christmas celebrations in faraway lands. More fascinating to the target audience than the traditional Finnish Christmas carol sung by a roomful of elves in stocking feet, of course, will be the Tubbies' brisk-weather escapades. Something's changed in the Astroturfed kingdom where bunnies, flowers, and the funny-looking foursome frolic in every episode--the place has been doused with snow. First it's just a sugary dusting, but a downright deluge follows, and the Tubbies get busy making sense of it all. In the first episode, Po wipes out on her scooter; Tinky Winky's not careful and, to his delight, slides helplessly down a hill; and the gang plays a guessing game to figure out what's under the snow (either Laa-Laa's ball or Dipsy's hat). More of the same follows in the second episode--along with Christmas cutaways to the U.K. and Spain, we tag along as Po makes Po prints in the snow and the Tubbies team up to make a snow-Tubby, complete with snazzy hat and red patent-leather purse. This is harmless, semi-educational fun for kids under 4; Tubby tolerators everywhere can tuck it under their trees with confidence. --Tammy La Gorce

This is my favorite of the Tubbies DVDs.......2007-02-09

I absolutely love this DVD because it has so many entertaining clips that differ from the rest of the series because of the unique snowy environment. My daughter loves to watch the Tubbies go sliding down a snowy hill and build a snow Tubby. The clips of real children around the world celebrating Christmas are also a lot of fun, and the music from those clips is carried through the rest of the video.

Tubby Heaven.......2005-10-24

My children adore the teletubbies and watching them play in the snow is great fun (especially since we live in the South and don't see much snow). We are fans of all the teletubbies videos!

Excellent Christmas DVD!.......2004-12-25

We bought Teletubbies Christmas in the Snow a few weeks ago for our 15 month old (13.5 months adjusted-preemie)...Figured it would be the typical teletubbies fare-which it was- but once again it explored many cultures and their handling of Christmas...My husband and I both loved watching the various Christmas activities of other nationalities...Really cool stuff! We may incorporate some into our next holiday celebration aside from our existing italian and german traditions...Oh and my little guy just loved it!

Let It Snow!.......2004-01-07

We are big fans of the Teletubbies in our house, so to find a holiday DVD for our daughter was really a treat. In this installment of Tubby bliss, the Teletubbies are introduced to snow for the first time. Their adventures, from 'sliding' down hills to making a 'Snow Tubby', are a hit with my daughter, and the snipets of 'Christmases from Around the World' are interesting for us all to see. And there's a bonus segment of 'Teletubbies Everywhere', which always draws smiles. We found this to be a nice diversion from the 'usual' Tubby stuff...:).

Lots of fun. A 4+ star rating.......2003-07-21

My ONLY complaint about this video is that it is so long. Two videos is a little bit much in my opinion.

The positives are that this video is typical of all Teletubbie videos. There are short segments that provide good stopping points with little shows between the Teletubbies shows. They are fun and gentle and encourage hugs and respect. They are fun.

My young daughter, who is 2 still likes Teletubbies. My son, who is 4, has recently outgrown the Teletubbies. So that might provide potential buyers of an age range (0-3/4) when buying this video.
