Danger & Eggs
What's the Story?
DANGER & EGGS is the story of unlikely best friends D.D. Danger (voiced by Aidy Bryant) -- a teal-haired adrenaline junkie who seeks out adventure -- and cautious, overly prepared, egg-shaped Phillip (Eric Knobel). When D.D. gets a notion to do something extraordinary, such as fashion a huge obstacle course in a public park, she's off and running, with Phillip a step behind, ready to help keep everyone safe.
Is It Any Good?
Kids will likely love this delightful buddy comedy and its polar-opposite main characters, whose vast personality discrepancies account for the majority of the laughs. Sure, there's plenty of fun in watching the absurd predicaments that D.D.'s impulsiveness gets them into, and the bold animation is a real asset to the show's appeal. But it's utterly hilarious to jump back and forth between fearless D.D. and Phillip of the inexhaustible safety precautions.
Another likable quality to Danger & Eggs is the characters' enthusiasm for living life to the fullest. Even with his inherent anxiety, Phillip doesn't shy away from any adventure that D.D. plans, and he usually winds up enjoying the experience, despite his initial uncertainty. The show really shines in its diverse representations, with characters of different ethnicities, genders, and sexualities treated with equal respect and acceptance. In Danger & Eggs, differences exist without clumsy explanation, which is a great way to help both adults and children see themselves represented on screen. Above all, the show is full of excitement and color and is a fun way to remind kids of the value of taking chances, making friends, and trying new things.
