What Parents Need to Know

About Fifi and the Flowertots

Parents need to know that this animated series from the U.K. is cute and colorful, and there's no questionable content. Whether or not it grabs your preschooler's attention will depend on your child's age and sophistication: The stop-motion animation is subpar, giving the characters very stiff facial expressions, so some kids may not find them particularly engaging or endearing.
