Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
In INSIDE THE ENCHANTED FOREST, vapor rises above green leaves, puffy clouds above the canopy of trees. In the shadows of the canopy live a multitude of creatures, all vying for survival. Some, like the Three-Toed Sloth, seem to enjoy playing host to critters that live in its fur. Others use poison to vanquish invaders. Which creatures will amaze you the most?
Is It Any Good?
An edgy vibe brings intrigue to this nature documentary. In Inside the Enchanted Forest symbiosis is celebrated, but it also personifies trees and creatures to create intrigue. Of course there are no living-dead creatures in nature, but it you switch up the narrative, an ant's behavior can appear to be zombie-like (especially when they poison a crab who entered their territory).
The educational content isn't overlooked, however; there's lots to be learned in this series. Older kids and tweens will enjoy this more than sensitive viewers.
