An oldie but goodie.

ByBellyobibbleson 3 November 2008

In line with the trend for ressurecting childrens classics from yesteryear, I bought this for my shoe queen 2 year old. She loves other classics too like Bod, Bagpuss, Ivor, Mr Benn.

Its clearly made in yesteryear, but the stories and characters are fun, and the catchy tune just as remembered. 'Sh sh sh shoe people, dum da dum de da de dum.....'

A nice alternative to all things modern!

What a gem!!

ByMs Mon 23 October 2007

I was so thrilled to find that this had been released on DVD, and that it was the complete collection for just a couple of pounds! It was great watching it the other night - very nostalgic! I had the books as a child and watched these episodes on TV when they were first broadcast and it is wonderful watching them again now with my daughter.

As a child I thought it was fantastic - shoes that had been abandoned or to be thrown away by a local shoe repairer all come together and live in their own world once the door to the shop's store room is closed at night.

A really great DVD with some good extra's - I was reminded how 'The Shoe People' brand was also used at the time for charity purposes to raise money, which I had forgotten about. I still think they are fabulous and timeless. They don't make them like this anymore!!

My kids are loving it!

I bought this as a curiosity, I didn't remember much about it apart from the theme tune, but the reviews were good, and it was nice and cheap (which I think is only fair for programs that were on tv more than 10 years ago!!)

I've put it on for my 7 year old and 4 year old - my eldest should know better but they have both been sucked in and are really enjoying it!! Very gentle and pleasant, this is not Ben 10, but the story is quite fun, and the characters are very lovable.

Great for younger kids - a bit of a break from CBeebies!!

Wonderful

ByAndrew Norrison 5 February 2013

"The Shoe People" is a rare example of a British animated series not created by either Cosgrove Hall (the studio behind "Dangermouse" and "Count Duckula") or Aardman (who gave us "Wallace and Gromit", "Shaun the Sheep" and "Rex the Runt"). Created in the late 1980's, this series, which is half-fantasy, half-comedy, is one that has been overlooked in recent years, but for those lucky enough to get a DVD, it still has the power to charm and endear.

The shoe people of the title are old shoes either too old to be repaired or have never been collected from the shoe shop where they have been left. The kindly old shoemaker has left them in the back of his shop, rather than throw them away, and every night, the shoes come alive, and make their way to Shoe Town, a magical town where the shoe people live in their own houses and perform their own jobs that reflect their shoe-type - Margo the ballerina slipper is a ballerina, Charlie, a clown's shoe, is a circus clown, PC Boot, a policeman's boot, is a policeman, and so on.

I happily recommend this series to one and all, for few series today can equal its upbeat nature.
