My 3 1/2 year old watched this for about five minutes before it was banned from our household. The older sister is awful. Young kids will not see the loving resolution at the end; they'll only remember the horrible way she talks to her family. No thanks.
i love this show because it has an imagnation and teaches you about diffrent areas in the world and diffrent animals i wish it was on tv agien oh do i miss that show
This is a pretty entertaining show, you get to go around the world with the Thornberry's and it covers issues of thinking and exploring for yourself, helping and understanding humans and animals. Overall, good messages come from this show.
Don't know why but I just don't like the show. It reminded me of the cartoon version of Jumanji (which I loved). Maybe my cartoon days are just ending (yeah right).
I watched this with my 2-and-a-half-year-old nephew and he loved it. He wasn't scared when an animal would show aggression, but would ask me *why* they were doing that. He loved seeing the different animals and locations, and I loved how informative it was. I would recommend this for any age, as long as you know the child won't be afraid of the animals, and if you discuss the teasing when they occasionally put each other down -- my nephew would say, "Ummm! That's mean!" ;-)
