On the surface, there's not a lot to Here Come the Teletubbies: Teletubby playtime in Teletubby Land is interrupted by a brief nap, a break for toast, a glimpse at some children playing in the rain, and Po's discovery of a puddle. Of course, the Teletubbies are (thankfully) about a lot more than plot devices and story lines. How else you can explain a phenomenon that has everyone from neo-psychedelic ravers to preschool children to educators enthusiastic about the same TV show? The real asset to this video (and, of the Teletubbies' output, it's the best) is the way problem solving, language, and even mishaps are presented--devised perfectly to match the mindset of a preschooler. It's hard not to relate to Po eating custard, making a mess, and then taking a snooze; or Tinky Winky trying to clean up his fellow Tubbies' mess by grabbing all their toys. Sure, there is a lot of weirdness to these four creatures: the baby's face in the sun, the computer-generated animal parade that comes out of nowhere, even the snare-drum roll and cymbal crash that accompanies the Tubbies' every move. But for all its fantasy, it's highly addictive and just what young children need.
