Teletubbies: Baby Animals
THE STRAIGHT DOPE:
There are two ways to watch Teletubbies: With your kids or by yourself when you need to unwind. The show was developed with the youngest viewers in mind and clearly plays to an audience fascinated with patterns, colors, and movement. Adults in need of some quiet time can also appreciate these concepts. Regardless, there is something funny about Teletubbies. It is structured like a jazz piece: Certain elements are repeated from show to show, like the opening sequence of the Tubbie's hiding away, while other parts vary each time, like the videos the Tubbies watch of kids doing different activities. The activities gathered on Teletubbies: Baby Animals all feature baby animals, mostly on farms. The chance to see the cute animals getting fed should be interesting to urban tots, although astute Babe fans may wonder where all their mommies are and why they have to be fed by people instead of drinking mother's milk. Regardless of the dark subtext, the show delivers what can be expected. The Tubbies have some very exciting adventures, like a visit from a toy lamb and a visit from a toy dog.
VIDEO:
The video is broadcast quality full-frame video. The colors are vibrant and the image is clear.
AUDIO:
The Dolby Digital stereo audio is fine. The kids are a bit tough to understand sometimes, with their thick British accents, but the subtitles loosely paraphrase what they're saying.
EXTRAS:
A number of extra features have been included. A series of vignettes featuring British kids introducing farm animals and their feeding rituals is the longest. The sad thing is that while the kids mug for the camera the animals, particularly a calf, seem terrified. Kinda sick.
A one minute featurette called "Rabbits in Tubbyland" is a musical montage of the floppy eared bunnies that roam the open-air Tubby set.
For parents there are previews of other Tubby videos and an interview segment with the producers of the show explaining why they think Teletubbies is the best thing since sliced Tubby-toast.FINAL THOUGHTS:
I can't speak for a 1 year old, but I find Teletubbies to be soothing and visually pleasing. I used to watch the show in the morning before heading off to work and enjoyed watching Baby Animals. You don't really need kids to know that when times get tough Tinky-Winky and pals will be there to say "Eh-oh".
