Those roly-poly creatures playfully romp with their beloved toys in the Teletubbies' fourth video, Favorite Things. Tinky Winky has his bag, Dipsy his splotched hat, Laa-Laa her ball, and, of course, littlest Po her scooter. The opening of the video has each Teletubby lose in turn his or her favorite item, and all must go off in search of it. Each Tubby is then featured in a segment: Laa-Laa chasing her ball, Tinky Winky singing into his bag, Dipsy dancing with his hat, and Po riding in circles on her scooter. Two videos--one of playing in a kiddie pool and the other of fixing up a bike for a ride--and a short animation are also included. Of all the Teletubbies' videos, this is most likely to be a kid's favorite--and the most likely to grate on a grownup's nerves. The constant repetition of chasing games will have children hopping about, but parents will find little of the charm of Here Come the Teletubbies or Nursery Rhymes. Yet, as slow as some of the moments may be, the Tubbies are as adorable as ever and still worthy of a "big hug!" --Jenny Brown

 Teletubbies July 20, 2005

A very powerful and emotional video that captures what life is really like in teletubbie land. I would recomend it to children over the age of 50. as small children may eat small parts.

This was my kids first video and most favorite-they watched it countless hours over and over and over.......and over. Teletubbies (like fingernails running down a chalkboard to me)as annoying as they are to grown ups-they keep the attention of the weee lil' ones and put that beautiful little smile right where it belongs!!! Recommend highly for ages 6 months to 2 1/2 years.
Perfect metaphor for loss of the British Empire April 11, 2004

Powerful metaphor for the loss of the British Empire as Dipsy searches all over for a missing hat. Tinky Winky and his controversial bag (...) is also lost, as well as Po's scooter, symbolic of the once powerful British Navy.Don't miss the stirring performance by Laa-Laa in her lament over a misplaced yellow ball. Laa-Laa was definitely robbed by the Academy when they overlooked this powerful emote-o-fest.
They make my baby smile, and that is worth everything! March 15, 2004

Let me set the record straight, for those of you who dislike these folks: I hated Teletubbies! I thought it was a foursome of weird characters, that couldn't talk well, etc... Well, while they continue to be weird (though you gotta admit they're kinda cute), and they still haven't gotten past the "He-o!" (for 'Hello!') one thing Laa-Laa, Tinky Winky, Dipsy and Po have done is make my baby laugh and calm down when cranky in a way only Baby Mozart is able to do. So all other criticism became secondary after I saw this happen over and over. He just loves it, so it's become one of the 2-3 official videos to be played while his mom and I fix breakfast, because it "buys" us enough time! :)This particular video has a particular story where all Teletubbies loose an item each: a ball, a bag, a hat and a scooter; to be found later on. What is interesting about it is the repetition within it: repetition of words in the dialogs, in the scenes during the searches for each item, etc. in a way that becomes educative, since the babies learn about patterns, things and colors in the process. If you haven't gotten yourself a copy of "Baby Mozart" I'd probably recommend you do that before, but if you already have that covered, you have to have Teletubbies' "Favorite Things".

My two boys, ages 35 and 21 months just never seem to tire of Teletubbies. We have numerous videos and this one is very well liked. Sometimes I think they are starting to out grow the novelty of Tubbies, but they always eventually start asking for Teletubby videos "again, again"! Teletubbies are very consistent, just what babies and toddlers desire and thrive on. This volume, like all others, has everything you expect from the television series format. The tubbies are always entertaining, kind, friendly, and love to have fun. What more desirable personality traits could any parent hope for in thier children?
