Description
There's hot fun in the summertime when Kipper and his pals enjoy the great outdoor. From boating at the beach to splashing in the pool, the water is the perfect place to enjoy the sunshine. The fun continues when Kipper, Tiger and Arnold compete in a game of crazy golf. But when the friends decide to race one another, Tiger lands in the pond. To Pig's amazement, Arnold learns to ride a bike - with a little help from Kipper. Finally, they're off to spend the day at the farm with new friends! There's always something new under the sun with Kipper and company!

The lazy days of summer mean no hurries, no worries to Kipper the Dog. He and his assorted four-legged pals conjure plenty of Fun in the Sun with little more than a beach, a bike, a paddling pool, and their own refreshing imaginations. Kipper is a soft-spoken chap, whose gentle nature and amenable funny bone set the tone for each of the show's seven episodes. Equally dear are Kipper's chums: Tiger (a dog), Pig, and Arnold (think Maggie Simpson in pigskin.) Together, they smooth occasional bumps along life's path, like rescuing stranded pals when the tide rises; turning a leak into a pool party; and squelching envy when Arnold's skill at putt-putt golf becomes Tiger's folly. As they explore the beach, the farm, or the sky, brilliant watercolor backgrounds and an understated, jazzy score entice the eyes and ears--a quenching experience for preschoolers and their parents, whatever the season. --Liane Thomas

Kipper is a crowd pleaser March 24, 2008
I can't say enough good things about Kipper. He has a very calming effect on my son, yet he makes him laugh. My son loves the Sun DVD as Kipper brings his friends along to the beach for fun. Definitely a good buy if your child loves Kipper!
delicious language September 19, 2007

story line is accessible to youngest viewers, but the language used is deliciously appealing to adults with bonus British idioms and light British accent sprinkled throughout the story line; story line is sweet, but not condescending to younger viewers; my children will watch it over and over from ages 4 through 9
Kipper is great! July 25, 2007
We love Kipper. My daughter who is 4, really likes watching these low-key but funny stories. I think it's a wonderful DVD to put on for quiet time because Kipper is so soft spoken. British accent adds it's charm to it as well. And this particular DVD has several stories about summertime things to do.
Kipper! March 20, 2007
My 10 month old won't take his eyes off the screen when kipper is on. That alone is worth more than the cost of this item!

This is good, fun, animated entertainment for the pre-school crowd with a minimum of violence. After my daughter watched this DVD a few times, she began speaking in a British accent. It was cute, yet creepy. Still, I prefer it over the Boston accent she sometimes has when she returns home from school, "we did some drawrings and then we played in the pahk."
Kipper and his buddies Tiger, Pig, and Arnold, amble about in a genial, self-amused manner, often chuckling infectiously to themselves about their mildly mischievous adventures. There are occasional moments of slapstick comedy but it is high on cuteness, low on angst and violence. In my favorite episode, a particularly surreal one, Kipper and Pig explore the sky traveling around on the clouds. Then, it begins to rain and they plummet out of the sky. Their fall is broken as they bounce gently off the belly of a sunbathing Tiger. Tiger flinches as each of them bounces and emits a low "ooph." I can't do it justice, but it's as funny as any Bugs Bunny slapstick moment, but with out the cruel and sadistic flavor. My daughter was alone in the room watching it and I heard her burst into laughter. I ran in to see and we ended up looping the gag, watching it over and over and laughing harder each time. Good times.
The drawings are simple but heady. The backgrounds are understated yet enchanting watercolors. Your viewing experience is enhanced by a noodly cool jazz tinkering soundtrack.
