THE CLANGERS. *********************
~Introduction~ ***************** The clangers are a timeless, enduring and charming animated series. The complete Clangers is a 2 disc DVD set containing all 26 episodes of the classic television series.
~Synopsis~ ************** The clangers story is about life on the small blue planet, somewhere out in space, that is home to these long-nosed, gentle, pink creatures with their distinctive whistling language. They live under the surface of the planet in caves which are enclosed by saucepan lids--the slamming of which gives them their name. Life is simple when you're a clanger; with plentiful green soup and blue-string pudding to eat, the main worry is being hit by objects from space. Fortunately, clangers have armour to protect their little knitted bodies. The whistling language allows children to use their imagination and fill in what they think is happening. There is a narration but it does not interfere with the running of the story lines which the children can imagine for themselves A peaceful race, the clangers live in harmony with the other inhabitants of their world--the soup dragon, the froglets, several glow buzzers, the cloud and of course the iron chicken--as well as any other visitors who may drop by. They where ahead of their time with their eco friendly and recycling. The clangers were created by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin, who were also responsible for the children's TV classics Noggin the Nog, Bagpuss and Ivor the Engine.
~CAST~ ********** Clanger family, major, mother, small and tiny clanger
Iron Chicken The iron chicken is a great traveller and collector of yes of course iron.
Soup Dragon Who makes soup from volcanoes and feeds the clangers.
The Froglets Travelling through the universe in a top hat (don't ask)

~Opinions~ ************** When you're sitting comfortably, prepare to wallow in nostalgia with these timeless tales or introduce them to a new generation. Young children will love the clangers and us older ones can enjoy the nostalgia.
There isn't much in the way of pointless 'extras' on this DVD, but it doesn't need any.
