What's the Story?

BOJ AND BUDDIES is a show about a group of diverse animal friends who live, work, and play together. Whether it's making a smoothie or having fun at summer camp, Boj's friends help one another with whatever life brings them, and Boj often comes through as the hero when he creatively solves the group's problems and predicaments.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 3 ):
Kids say ( 3 ):

This sweet, simple series shows little ones how to creatively solve problems. Boj's world is very cute, with basic 2D (cutout-style) animation, and he's a great role model for young kids who are just learning to think critically. He's resourceful and triumphant, and without going into too much detail on how he comes up with his ideas, he shows the audience how to make something out of virtually nothing.
