A show made for kids but NOT for kids

This show is great at a first glance. It’s fun, bright, colourful, and wacky. Yet the longer I watched with my little sister and family we realized that the weirdness hid a lot of inappropriate jokes and messages for kids. A show that advertises itself as a show for 7+ shouldn’t be making jokes CONSTANTLY about stealing, murder, weird pregnancy jokes?? Seriously mentioning ‘afterbirth’ is really unnecessary and will probably scar some kids with access to the internet who decide to google that. I’m all for this show for an older audience who knows how to separate the weirdness from the actual good portion of the show.

This title has:

Too much violence
Too much sex
Too much consumerism

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?

Our review:
Parents say (10 ):
Kids say (15 ):

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.
