Is It Any Good?

Even though you can guess what the outcome is, this is still fun to watch. It's not as visually engaging as the VeggieTales series, but it's still a good fit for this age group.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
