From Amazon.com

The British countryside has seen few raves like this one--our favorite Teletubbies are shown dancing through Teletubby Land with a few of their friends and, of course, their multiple rabbits. The "Stepping and Standing Dance" leads things off, followed by the "Walking Dance," "Running Away Dance," "Splashing Dance," and so forth (thankfully, we're spared from "Riverdance"). Of course, all this dancing--and even some clips of real children performing a few jigs--can wear a little thin on the patience of any child or parent. While younger children may want to perform some of the moves themselves (the "Tip Toe Dance" looks semi-appealing), everyone else risks becoming bored. The Teletubbies work best when, just like the typical preschooler, they all act differently, performing unique tasks (check out the effective Here Come the Teletubbies). On this video, they're all line dancing. There is some genuine weirdness for more mature Tubby aficionados: a vacuum cleaner starts dancing and a computer-animated bear does a convincing Grateful Dead-inspired number. But for most everyone else, it can't beat the TV show. --Jason Verlinde

We've memorized this one.... (2003-04-26)

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!

Share the fun with your kid (2002-07-31)

It is incredible the acceptance from my little kid to Teletubbies. Even here in Mexico, there is no cultural difference for the small kids. I have found that it is very funny to interact with your kids when they are watching the video. You won't believe the "big hug" you will receive from them.

Fun! (2002-06-12)

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.

The Teletubbie video we own that gets played the most (2002-04-01)

My daughters (now 2.5 years and 13 months)have always enjoyed the Teletubbies and this video is their favourite. Probably because of all the music and dancing that goes on in this video ... and quite easy dance moves that they can follow along to. This video keeps them busy while I can take a shower in peace in the mornings. My favourite part of the video is not actually the Teletubbies but the video of the children doing the "boom boom dance". The girls and I love dancing to that! One your young Teletubbie fan will enjoy!

My Daughter Loves This Tape! (2002-02-25)

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.
