Parents need to know that this is arguably one of the best children's series to appear in a long time. It's colorful, educational, and fun, with a moral message that sticks around after the show ends. This story centers on Sagwa the cat's family, who live in an Imperial Chinese household and are privy to the inner workings of the Magistrate's family life. Though she's aware of the outside world, Sagwa lives comfortably with her siblings, her parents and her beloved grandparents, who provide much of her cultural education through the stories they tell and the rituals they keep. In short, Sagwa's world is a lovely place to visit -- and a very pleasant way to spend time with the entire family.
Positive messages:Sagwa and her family exemplify good family relations. Acting honorably, looking after the good of the whole and making appropriate choices are the moral pillars behind this series.
There were ads for cereals in the middle of this. On a DVD?! Frosted Flakes type things, come on!
It might have been great, but I saw that and stopped the DVD immediately.
Our sons like to talk about life in China, life as a cat, and the cultural differences between the Imperial family in China, and our family's lifestyle. Only they didn't use those big words.
