Episode 1: "The Visitor" (Aired September 5th, 1997, (ALMOST 25 YEARS AGO THIS YEAR (2022)!)
This show can be very heartbreaking and sad at times. I'm gonna try not to cry while writing this, because I often do when I try to explain 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. Kipper the Dog is a perfect television show that I will cherish even 20 years after watching it. It teaches valuable lessons, gives heart warming moments, and it is all presented without over stimulation. Kipper is the perfect children's show for all kids. There weren't bright and abrasive colors, loud and shocking sounds, nor any way too over the top childish behavior from the main characters. The animation is subtle, minimal and just what is needed for a kids show. 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. However, occasionally I would feel like watching something non-sports centered. 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. Growing up, I was never much into kid's shows. I can't go beyond ten stars, so I must stick with ten. It's like getting a bedtime story told to you in animation. It's wonderful for when you've had a busy day and need something to easy your stress and brighten your spirits. It's a great show for not just kids, but parents too. I don't get why it's not as appreciated as it should be. It's always got this soothing tone to it. 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 art style captures the books to a tee. The voice actors do a wonderful job giving each of them distinct personalities. 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. 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). The show centers around the titular Kipper the Dog and the adventures in his life. This is one of the greatest shows ever that has sadly fallen into obscurity.
