Teletubbies 05976 "Pull & Play Giant Noo-Noo" Toy

Product Information

Teletubbies dolls were the top-selling Christmas toy in 1997. [47] [48] Demand outstripped supply at most retailers, reportedly prompting many shops to ration them to one per customer. [49] In some cases, shoppers camped outside stores overnight in hopes of purchasing Teletubbies merchandise. [50] [51] Fights over the toys broke out among parents and collectors on occasion. [52] [53] Over one million dolls were sold in Britain by 25 December of that year, with Golden Bear representatives estimating that sales could have reached three million if supplies had been available. [54] The plush toys were named "Toy of the Year" by the British Association of Toy Retailers in 1998. [55] In the new series, Noo-Noo has changed from blue to orange, pink and gold. The reason behind it was that the show was using Blue Screen; therefore, only some parts of him would be shown. Other than the colour change, Noo-Noo's appearance remains the same. In 2018, a spin-off animated Web series featuring the Tiddlytubbies characters debuted on the official Teletubbies YouTube channel. [122] These shorts are animated by WildBrain Spark Studios, a subsidiary of WildBrain that produces content for the WildBrain Spark network.

Common Sense Media's Emily Ashby found that "while the show's examples of cooperative play, wonder, and simple joys are gentle and pleasing, the creatures can still be a little grating to parents watching along." [76] Caryn James of The New York Times stated in her review that the episodes "offer a genuinely appealing combination: cute and slightly surreal." [77]

The programme focuses on four differently coloured characters known as the Teletubbies, named after the television screens on their bellies. Recognised throughout popular culture for the uniquely shaped antenna protruding from the head of each character, the Teletubbies communicate through gibberish and were designed to bear resemblance to toddlers. [6]

Upon the show's release, some critics feared that the characters' use of babbling in place of complete sentences would negatively affect young viewers' ability to communicate. The Daily Mirror reported in 1997 that many parents objected to its "goo-goo style" and "said the show was a bad influence on their children." [78] Marina Krcmar, a professor of communication at the Wake Forest University, told interviewers in 2007 that "toddlers learn more from an adult speaker than they do from a program such as Teletubbies." [79] However, Paul McCann of The Independent defended this aspect of the show, stating that " Teletubbies upsets those who automatically assume that progressive and creative learning is trendy nonsense. Those who believe that education should be strictly disciplined and functional, even when you're 18 months old. Thankfully Teletubbies isn't for them. It's for kids."

In April 1997, the episode titled "See-Saw" (season 1) aired and featured a sketch about a cut-out lion (voiced by Eric Sykes) chasing a cut-out bear (voiced by Penelope Keith). [92] The sketch was criticised for its unsettling cinematography, music, and character design and was deemed inappropriate for children. It was subsequently banned in several countries. [93] [94] In 2000, a revised version of the sketch was aired with adjusted editing, sound design, and voice acting to improve the tone; [95] both versions have been posted online several times.
