Review of Kipper

Kipper (1997–2004)
10/10
An Underrated Classic
13 April 2014
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.
