Great show for the little ones
I watch everything that my child does. I have watched many of these episodes with her and have noting but positive things to say. She loves all of the characters (but she does have her faves). The show is educational and promotes teamwork, sharing, problem solving and being kind to one another. I only hope that they start selling some Jungle Junction merchandise before her birthday in March. She really wants a Jungle Junction birthday party.

My 4 month old's very first favorite show!
My daughter started watching this at 4 months old! She is focused on it and, while I am sure she does not "get" the messages as she is too young, this will be a great show for her when she is older.
*Update* She is now 18 months old and it is *STILL* her favorite show! She will stop in her tracks at just the sound of the music!

Avoid at all costs
This is mindless dribble, plain and simple. The animation is sub-par and the 'advantages' of your having your child watch it are a stretch regardless of what others might suggest. It's benefit are 'subtle.' On the flip side, Playhouse Disney's animation series are truly horrible. Most are from the UK which makes one scratch their head. Their saving grace is "Imagination Movers" which is both funny and encourages problem-solving. The rest, on the other hand, could use a cue.

Entertaining but not engaging
I fine that Disney programing for preschoolers tends to be more about entertainment than education. I watched the show with my 3 year old and found the conversation and story line to be a little complex. He asked why the animals had wheels for feet and I wasn't sure myself. He was entertained by the program but not engaged
