Postman Pat delivers, again!

Advantages: Funny plots, great animation, four great tales.
Disadvantages: Poor extras

I'm sure you all remember Postman Pat, who could possilby forget the wonderful theme tune? It is arguably the best ever child's theme tune. Well he's back after a ten year rest, in Postman Pat's Ice Cream Machine! I've been fortunate enough to watch the DVD numerous times thanks to my wonderful two year old son and I thought I'd share mine and his thoughts with you. ***OVERVIEW**** This DVD covers four stories: Ted Glyn's amazing invention A ...
...The animation in the new Postman Pat tales are impressive and a real improvement on the original in terms of smoothness and their quality. *** CHILD'S VIEW*** My two year old loves this and my ten month son is growing more and more keen. We quite often keep the neighbours entertained with a rendition of the theme song. He loves Pat and of course Jess and the red van. However there are so many other great characters like PC Selby, Ted Glyn, Sanjay ...

Review of Postman Pat Clowns Around (DVD)

Snow Problems!

Advantages: Great episodes, fun to watch at this time of year
Disadvantages: Awful closing song

...be a big fan of Postman Pat when I was growing up, it was one of the things both my little brother and I used to love to sit and watch together. But I think it's fallen out of fashion with toddlers a bit lately, what with the newer funkier characters such as Bob the Builder and In the Night Garden taking over the market somewhat. I did want Harry to at least try the show, so I hired a DVD from the library. It claimed to be 'All New' so I guessed ...
...This DVD is called Postman Pat and the Giant Snowball, and it is the newer series of Postman Pat. The characters are much smoother now, the mouths move when they talk unlike on the old puppets and they've now introduced more characters, including a new Asian family so that things are politically correct! The voices seem to be the same so the continuity in Pat is the same, but it doesn't have the same charm the old series does, but maybe that's just ...
