4.0 out of 5 stars Remember it's for children! 3 May 2005

With the exception of the slow moving "Case of the Pilfered Pearls", the stories are excellent. Whether they're about everyday situations ("The Computer" and "The Correspondence Course") or ones that are more in the realms of fantasy ("The Lost World" and "The Day of The Terrible Jokes") they manage to be both enthralling and down to earth. The dry, observant humour is also brilliant but sometimes it is easier for adults to understand and enjoy; the video is meant to be suitable for everyone so I think it's important to show humour that accommodates everyone.

The video also loses a few marks with me for some inappropriate content. I must admit I roared with laughter when during "The Computer" a tin of catfood bearing the label "Pussy Licks" appeared. Yet I would never disagree with any parent who complained about this because children's television is not the place to try pushing your luck with broadcasting standard guidelines.

I was genuinely and deeply offended, however, by a couple of facetious depictions of Nazism. In "The Case of the Pilfered Pearls", Henry's Cat is imagining himself as Sherlock Holmes on the trail of Rum Baba (here operating under the name of Rumbini). He thinks of the disguises he can don to throw Rumbini off his trail and one of these is an SS uniform. This is made all the more unpleasant by Henry's Cat smiling as he makes the Nazi salute.

Then in "The Correspondence Course" Henry's Cat draws a range of faces to practice being a cartoonist. One of these looks unmistakeably like Hitler (I suspected this the first time I saw it and the subsequent two rewindings I made acted as confirmation.)

I am in no way suggesting these endorse pro-Nazi attitudes; I think it far more likely Bob Godfrey and the other animators are showing the ludicrousness of Hitler. If any of them lived through the war, it might well be they find focusing on this takes away some of the pain resulting from his atrocities. That said, I don't think children are the right audience for this. As they won't know what Hitler represented or did, it dilutes the horror of it before their first lesson on The Second World War.

It's a terrible shame to have to find fault like this because in most respects this is a masterpiece of story construction and telling which caters for a huge audience.
