Kipper

Growing up, I was never much into kid's shows. My family has always been heavily into sports, and being one of the younger members of the family, I spent a majority of the late 90s - early 2000s watching college sports with my family, then watching nothing but ESPN during the week. However, occasionally I would feel like watching something non-sports centered. My mom stumbled upon some Kipper VHSs from a friend who had a kid a couple years older than me, and I immediately fell in love with it.

The calming, gentle voices were perfect. The animation is subtle, minimal and just what is needed for a kids show. There weren't bright and abrasive colors, loud and shocking sounds, nor any way too over the top childish behavior from the main characters. Kipper is the perfect children's show for all kids. It teaches valuable lessons, gives heart warming moments, and it is all presented without over stimulation. Kipper the Dog is a perfect television show that I will cherish even 20 years after watching it. I can't wait for the day to be able to watch Kipper with my own kids one day and remember all the happy Saturday mornings watching this as a kid.

I remember watching this show when i was about 2 I definitely rate this 10/10.Kipper is a very cute dog and the animation is amazing.

This is one of the greatest shows ever that has sadly fallen into obscurity. It's so charming, cute, and calming.

The show centers around the titular Kipper the Dog and the adventures in his life. They range from being small things like setting up his inflatable pool to large-scale adventures like flying to the moon on a magic carpet (it makes sense in context). Along with Kipper, his friends include another dog named Tiger, a rather dumb pig named Pig, Pig's young cousin Arnold, a large but gentle dog named Jake, and quite a few other characters. The voice actors do a wonderful job giving each of them distinct personalities.

The art style captures the books to a tee. And the animation is nice and...I wouldn't say 'slow' as that implies negativity, but the way the characters move is often so calm, a great break from the rather hectic world we occupy. The music is also really great. It's always got this soothing tone to it.

I don't get why it's not as appreciated as it should be. It's a great show for not just kids, but parents too. It's wonderful for when you've had a busy day and need something to easy your stress and brighten your spirits. It's like getting a bedtime story told to you in animation.

I can't go beyond ten stars, so I must stick with ten.

This is one of my favorite cartoons ever. It's just funny how Kipper is so much like an adult and a young child at the same time. He is responsible, and imaginative. His friends are cool too. Arnold, Pig's little brother is great. I wonder if that's an homage to Green Acres..?

I grew up watching this and looking back it brings so many memories of a simpler time. It reminds me of Winnie the Pooh in how the characters go on a small adventure and usually learn something at the end. Kipper and his friends are likable to watch. The animation's minimalistic but still grabs your attention in its simplicity. The stories are simple and easy to follow. There's a balance between comedy and drama usually with a life lesson at the end. If you have little kids they'll definitely enjoy this and you might too. Take it for what it's worth and see for yourself.
