VHS Movie Reviews of Teletubbies - Funny Day [VHS]

Movie Review: Very Cute
Summary: 5 Stars

A pink fluffy cloud comes inside and this is thrilling to the Teletubbies, until they have to live with the fluffy cloud for any amount of time. Then they realize what a mess it makes. A big string comes down and as the Teletubbies pull and pull on it, a big mess is made and again, NooNoo has to clean up. Custard is dropped and messes are made and fun is had by everyone.

Although this whole movie is one long movie about making messes and the funny things that can happen, there are short segments in there that make for good breaking points when watching this show. This way children can watch a short 10 min. section and not feel like they were left hanging. I find this important for my little boy who likes closure.

What makes the Teletubbies so fun to children is their predictability. If one Teletubbie tries something, they almost all get to try it.

I know there is controversy on the Teletubbies. However, I think they are cute and harmless. Surely they don't teach anything negative, they teach hugs and fun and sharing and caring, if they teach anything at all. Mainly I use this video (and all others and TV) as a time for my kids to wind down at the end of the day or just prior to nap. A short time to just sit and turn off their brains for a few minutes.

Summary of Teletubbies - Funny Day [VHS]

What happens when a puffy cloud comes indoors? Or when a big ball of string appears in Teletubbyland? Uh-oh! There's a Teletubby mess! And lots of surprises in store for the Noo-noo. The Noo-noo is a friendly vacuum cleaner that helps keep the Teletubbies home tidy. Slurp, slurp. Sometimes the Noo-noo tidies up the Teletubbies favorite things, but he always gives them back with a big A-hoooo! The Teletubbies love the Noo-noo very much.

Some people are familiar with the Teletubbies by reputation, others by repetition. The latter group will know that a "funny day" means the lovable British imports are in for splattering Tubby custard and flying Tubby toast, all of which is left to everyone's favorite wet-dry vacuum, the Noo-noo, to tidy up. In fact, the theme of this video, the fifth in the series, is messes (parents might cringe at the two live sequences, especially one involving hand-foot-body painting). The Teletubbies have taken more than their share of criticism for their otherworldly appearance, their simplistic actions and language, and their mind-numbing repetition. There is, however, no question that children adore these creatures and interact with and learn from them. Teletubbies might even be the first television program your child responds to. Unlike some children's TV available on video, each Teletubbies video is not merely two half-hour episodes tossed onto a videotape, but a one-hour unified whole. (Also, the live sequences are not repeated, which will make parents very grateful.) As a result, the videos have a different feel from the episodes, but the drawback is that it's harder to convince a child that a half-hour of TV really is enough when Laa-Laa hasn't yet said bye-bye. Funny Day also offers unusually close camera shots--want to see what Tubby custard really looks like?--and just wait till you see the Noo-noo tidy up the beds. Clever Noo-noo! --David Horiuchi
