Teletubbies Nursery Rhymes [VHS]

Join Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po as they provide 65 minutes of educational entertainment for toddlers as young as one in Teletubbies Nursery Rhymes.

This, the third Teletubby video, has all the hallmarks of the BBC television show including the cheerful and affectionate hosts that speak in a curious baby babble (Eh-Oh!), the real rabbits, the laughing baby-faced sun, the magical windmill that signals that it is time for a video clip (with real children) to be transmitted on the chosen tubby tummy, the expert computerised animations, the futuristic dome-home and Noo-noo, the pet vacuum cleaner. Against this unique and creative background, the universal appeal of eight nursery rhymes is added. Children will be mesmerised as the Teletubbies imitate, perform, dance and sing to rhymes including "Humpty Dumpty", "Hey Diddle Diddle", "Pat-A-Cake" and "Twinkle Twinkle". Great care is taken not to frighten little ones. Modern adapted versions of stories ("The Gingerbread Man") and rhymes ("Jack and Jill") omit scary words or actions and the spider in "Little Miss Muffet" is fluffy, bright pink and smiling. King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys feature in two of the three video clips, singing cool jazzed up versions of "The Grand Old Duke of York" and "Hickory Dickory Dock" to an enthusiastic young crowd.

It is not difficult to see why pre-schoolers in over 20 countries have found a place in their hearts for this inimitable foursome. The Teletubbies are loving, enthusiastic, curious and most importantly always laughing and having fun! --Tracey Hogan
