Teletubbies: Favourite Things [VHS]

Product Information

In the UK version, before the Beach TV event, the Magic Windmill spins with the stop spinning tune as the Tubby Toast Accident segment originally had Tubby Bye-Bye afterwards. Like Dance with the Teletubbies, Simon Shelton only played Tinky Winky in one segment. That segment is The Happy Dance.

Unusually, in addition to PBS P-Pals logos, the US VHS both opens and closes with Kellogg's Rice Krispies funding ad.Before The Three Ships event, the Magic Windmill spins with the TV Event tune, as the episode originally had the Tubby Bye-Bye afterwards. In the Ukrainian version, the Ned's Bicycle video is replaced with Ukrainian children cleaning up trash with a vacuum. The US version of the Ned's Bicycle TV event includes narration not featured in the actual episode. On the Norwegian cover, it features an image from Missing Favourite Things (from Josie's Pots and Favourite Things) on VHS and DVD, even though that scene was not on this release. In addition, the Windmill is also mirrored on the same cover. For some reason, in the US version, the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star segment and The Gingerbread Boy switched places with The Grand Old Duke of York segments.

During the credits of the Lithuanian version, Tamzin Griffin was credited with a featured appearance. Though she did not appear at all in this video, she did appear in Big Hug! In the US version the bird's eye Windmill animation sequence is seen before the beach TV receiver sequence. In the opening scene of the Magic Tree event, the shots of the Teletubbies arriving silently at the Magic Event area in Teletubbyland and the Magic Windmill spinning are swapped around more than normal. Before The Magic Tree event, the Magic Windmill spins with the TV Event tune, as the episode originally had the rest of the Teletubbies play the Hey Diddle Diddle segment's ending and then Tubby Bye-Bye afterwards. On the Norwegian DVD Menu, the 2005-2006 Barnas Favoritter Star Icon is present but the DVD was released in 2004 one year before the Star icon was commonly used, and due to it being released in 2004, it will be redirected to the 2004 Barnas Favoritter Menu.

Somehow Norwegian is the only Scandinavian language that released this home video and it was never released in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland by Egmont Film and Nordisk Film. This VHS features the Rabbits' song, which is used as a transition into Laa-Laa's Bouncy Ball (the same version from Paddling Pool). Another rare Magic Windmill clip was shown after the Tubby Toast Accident but before the TV Receiver Sequence. It was when the Windmill was shown in its Normal animation with window, but was making the Stop Spinning sound. Ironically, in the US version, the TV Receiver Sequence was shown BEFORE the tubby toast accident, and the rare Windmill animation was used then stopped, thus following the Tubby Bye Bye event.
