Enjoyable British Classic
|
| This simply-produced video - a series of changing cartoon stills with British-accent narration over them rather than full animation - contains approx. a half-hour of Rupert Bear stories, many of them, like the title suggests, magical and fantastical. There is an interestingly Victorian feel to the animation, yet at the same time an oddly modern feel, too - people, animals and creatures (some mythological) dress in old-fashioned clothes, yet Ruperts's friends cover a wide-spectrum of types - a badger and elephant, a Chinese girl named Tiger Lily, an English farmer, etc. Though again, this is a simply-produced show, the fantastical stories and the over-all quiet and calm can make this a change from the usual Saturday morning sarcastic/moronic fodder. My four year-old daughter loves this show; we even had to order a Rupert teddy bear from England for her for Christmas. If as a parent you like (and know/think your child would like) shows like Kipper, Brambly Hedge, Thomas the Tank Engine, Paddington Bear, Percy the Park Keeper, The Secret of Roan Inish, etc; this may be one for your family. Get the first tape, too ("Rupert" is its full title). Highly recommended. Rupert has been popular in Britain since the 1920's. |
