Parent and Kid Reviews
Based on 12 parent reviews
Parents say this show offers a vibrant mix of whimsical storytelling, catchy songs, and strong themes, but it has also drawn concern for its unexpected dark elements, including references to death, trauma, and suicide which may be inappropriate for younger audiences. While many appreciate the artistic value and positive messages, the overwhelming sentiment is that it might not be suitable for children under 10, due to its mature undertones that could be misinterpreted without parental guidance.

What's the Story?
During a raging war, Horse (voiced by Kimiko Glenn, Over the Moon) falls off a cliff while protecting an amulet for her rider and is transported to Centaurworld. This new dimension is filled with wacky, colorful, and mismatched creatures called Centaurs. Horse, desperate to return to her home and rider, enlists the help of a herd of centaurs and their leader Wammawick (Megan Hilty). With the help of their magical abilities they Journey across Centaurworld, seeking the centaur shamans who hold the key to Horse's return.
Is It Any Good?
Bouncy music, wacky characters and an intriguing storyline make this dynamic series a solid pick for families who love a little music with their adventure. Centaurworld's dimension is full of bubbly creatures without a care in the world, but Horse comes from a war-torn land and is on a serious mission. Despite its ultra-quirky character design and silly magic, the contrary lifestyles and ideologies of Horse versus the centaurs give this series depth. The members of Wammawick's herd are easily distractable, bordering on the annoying, but she and Horse learn important lessons about leadership, fearlessness, and compassion along their journey. This character development along with Glenn and Hilty's beautiful Broadway-level vocals make for a fun watch.
