Big Tree City
What's the Story?
BIG TREE CITY is a bright, bold city with lots of hustle and bustle. Luckily for the residents, the team at Big Tree City Rescue is ready to step in and save the day at any time. Flame, Pecky, Kit,Tricks, Stripes, and Splash all have different super skills that they spring into action when needed. Led by Major Prickles, a porcupine, the group uses their problem solving skills when unexpected challenges come up. Sometimes the overeager and humorous team needs to come up with a Plan B, because their original idea makes things worse. Not to worry! The crew always works together to put safety first.
Is It Any Good?
This is a cute, silly, and lovable show for young viewers. Big Tree City captures the audience's attention with vibrant colors, funny storylines, and sweet characters. Kids will want to be friends with the Big Tree City Rescue team. While this is a great addition to the Netflix Jr. offerings, it lacks concrete educational aspects. Viewers can, however, take away positive messages from the "can-do attitude" presented on the show.
