The parents' guide to what's in this TV show.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Centaurworld is an animated musical series about a horse who's lost in a world of Centaurs. The show is full of wacky characters with quirky magical powers who can't always stay focused but have good hearts. The centaurs have powers like the ability to become handsome for eight seconds, shoot tiny versions of themselves from their hooves, and other silly magical spells that will delight young children. There's some potty humor in the form of farting, and words like "butt" are used. Violence is minimal, but there are descriptions of war.

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.
