Kipper (1997–2004)
10/10
A show that doesn't overdo itself.

It's a shame no one really talks about this show. I used to watch the VHS's all the time at my grandmother's house whenever I was over there. The characters were relatable, the story was concise and understandable, and it's down to Earth.

I don't think there's anything really wrong with the show, nut if there's one thing I'll nitpick, it's a lack of action. There isn't much going on other than simple activity being planned, a minor inconvenience occurring, the dilemma getting resolved, and a happy ending. But even still, I see the appeal and get satisfaction out of every story.

My personal favorite IKipper story is where Kipper finds a Rainbow Puddle, a magic frog jumps out, an elephant drinks up the puddle, and out of empathy, Kipper wishes for the puddle back. This one stuck out to me because 1. Kipper's the only main character in the episode. There's no mention or sight of Tiger, Pig, Arnold, or Jake. It's a good example of a tunnel episode. 2. The music is more somber and expressive, and it sticks to your emotion. And 3. It portrays humanity in our characters aside from just being constantly happy. It shows some depth.

A great show, very underrated, and gets a thumbs up from me.
