Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 1 ):
Kids say ( 8 ):

In short, it's the same as CoCoMelon but with a cast of animals instead of humans. The characters from CoCoMelon JJ's Animal Time include animals from various species, which allows viewers to learn about animal sounds and behavior. However, for the most part, they behave like human kids, dancing with JJ and acting out the song's lyrics. While it may not fully deliver on its promise of "Animal Time," it will still entertain the youngest fans of the brand.
