CoComelon Playdates with Sanrio Friends
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
In COCOMELON PLAYDATES WITH SANRIO FRIENDS, JJ, the star of CoComelon, teams up with favorite Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Badtz for friendly hangouts. Together, they engage in fun activities like sharing yummy lunches, playing through a storm, and stargazing, all set to catchy and familiar nursery rhymes.
Is It Any Good?
This show's format is quite similar to CoComelon, with a few noticeable differences. CoComelon Playdates with Sanrio Friends incorporates the Sanrio aesthetic, featuring flat 2D animation and soft pastel colors. These calmer visuals, along with a slower pace of action, create an experience that may feel less stimulating for parents of younger kids who enjoy music and the CoComelon brand. However, the show combines characters from two major kids' brands, which may prompt kids watching to ask for related merchandise.
