Oh how wonderful it is to share this wholesome show with my daughter. She loves it just as much as I did when I was a kid. Teddy Ruxpin is a delight to watch, and each episode teaches a valuable lesson. I just love Grubby! I highly recommend this cartoon for children ages 4-8 and for those of us over 30. :0)

Movie Reviews
A Decent Handling of a Forgotten Classic...

"For as old as this show is, it appears Mill Creek found the best quality episodes they could. The early episodes suffer a bit in quality, and there are parts that are clearly transferred from VHS, namely the next episode previews. However, by "Grubby's Romance", the episodes improve by leaps and bounds in quality.
One of the things no one has yet remarked on is that this show seems perfect for young viewers (4-7) with plenty of adventure and excitement without the smarminess or flippancy of modern kid's shows. Plus the continuous plot is a real plus in this show - the further you go in the show, the more you want to see what happens. As opposed to the earlier review, once the gang find the crystals, things tend to get moving faster. I think we'll see more of the plot tie together in the next volume. The only thing that could really wreck the show is if the other sets are not released - with a show like TR, you need to see the show in order to unravel the mystery. Highly recommended for the young - especially since the new toys are out, with affordable multipacks of books and "tapes" for the new Teddy Ruxpin by Backpack Toys.. My future daughter will hopefully spend some fun hours with Teddy."
Better Than The Previous Release...

"Teddy Ruxpin's first twenty episodes are contained on this 2-Disc DVD set. For a cartoon series twenty years old, the quality is good, even with the occasional warble of audio/video - which I would expect. Mill Creek Entertainment's release of Teddy Ruxpin is far better than the previous - in the case of more episodes for your money - and MCE's dedication to releasing the entire series."
A much better release.

"Unlike the abortive 2007 release, this version sports twice of number of episodes per set, better quality AND is going to have the FULL series, all 65 episodes by July 22nd 2008. The first 10 episodes establish many of the characters so its pace is metered. Video quality is better in this release although it seems that these DVDs were mastered from broadcast U-Matics. A few episodes have audio warble at the beginning. Otherwise audio is clear and in `generated' Dolby 2-channel stereo, thus there isn't any audio panning of sounds or conversations. There is also red chroma bloom on a few episodes, an artifact of the videotape. Those of us with equipment to do so will want to run the video with a comb filter. The colours otherwise are properly saturated and honestly for most people these issues will be unnoticeable. That being said I'd dearly love to see a genuine DVD Blu-ray set made from a film transfer since this whole series was hand animated. Somewhere there HAS to be a film copy of this show."
"Come dream with me tonight..." A value set of Teddy Ruxpin

"I got this at Wal-Mart for $5. This is a value set indeed, and yes, though the quality is hit and miss, it is an old show, more than 20 years old, and so I am quite pleased with what is offered here. The picture is clear, a bit grainy at times, but on the whole doesn't detract from one's enjoyment of the show. This was a nostalgic buy for me, as I used to watch the show with my younger siblings back when we were kids. A celebration of memories past and the good old days!"
The airship

"Great cartoon. Good collection, especially at this price.
I was watching one episode with my 3 year old nephew and even though he could not understand one word that was said, he did love the airship.
This show is more or less timeless and can still be shown to todays youth. Might even be a pleasant change from "wings" & "Bratz""
