Rating: 5 stars
Summary: my son loves them all, aged 3.5
Review: every kipper video is simple and easy to watch, with several small episodes per video or dvd. my son has them almost memorize and he loves every one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kipper, still excellent
Review: I always love Kipper, probably even more than my 2 1/2 year old, and there are years to come for her to enjoy them. I like the British humor and the simplicity compared to the chaotic cartoons around. And I like how kind the characters are to one another.

Another reviewer complained that all but one of these stories are repeats, but I have every DVD or video Amazon offers in the Kipper series, and there are no repeats on here or on the 'Kipper Waterplay' DVD. But here is a list of the stories on the 'Kipper Helps Out' DVD:
The Visitor
Pig's Present
The Butterfly
The Bleepers
Pig's Cousin
The Little Ghost

Enjoy!

Summary: you could help out you know
Review: If you bought the video and your complaint is that nobody anywhere says what episodes are on it, why don't you list which ones there are in your review? I'm not concerned if it duplicates other videos/dvds. I am concerned if it duplicates ones I already have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Some repeats, but that's OK
Review: There is some confusion over whether or not some of these episodes are repeats from other VHS releases. The answer is yes. Many of these episodes were part of the original three "pilot" releases back in 1999-2000, titled "The Visitor & Other Stories (Vol. 1)", "Pig's Present & Other Stories (Vol. 2)", and "Snowy Day and Other Stories". These "Other Stories" releases are only available on VHS (not DVD), and are no longer in print. You can still get them used, or in a library - which is where we have found them for my son.

I for one am glad that they are rereleasing them so that we can add then to our Kipper collection. Of all the toddler-preschool stuff my son watches, Kipper is by far my favorite.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hip toons that parents can enjoy
Review: This is the first Kipper DVD I bought for my 3 year old. He likes it and so do his parents and even his little friends that come over for play dates. My child now pretends with a British accent!
Kipper episodes aren't filled with the violence, crude language or visual bombardment of other modern day toons. Instead Kipper toons offer a hip soundtrack, simplistic settings, and gentle storylines.
I highly recommend Kipper video for anyone with class.


Rating: 2 stars
Summary: re-cased, same shows
Review: While this DVD has a new name, all but one of the 6 episodes are reruns, seen in the other Kipper DVDs and VHS. While this DVD is 109 minutes long, over 60 minutes of that are clips from other HIT shows, or trailers. "The little Ghost" is the only "new" Kipper episode there. Unfortunately, this website does not show that this DVD is full of reruns, so there is no way to know if you are buying something new. The same problem exists with the Kipper show "Water Play", it has all used episodes except for one.
