Fun, colorful and stress free world

My kid had turned 1 years old when I came across jingle kids on netflix. It quickly became his favourite show. Between booba and paw petrol. Jingle kids became the show he would sit down and love the characters running around and being silly not understanding the context but taking in the motions of the characters. Can't seem to find it on netflix or amazon prime anymore.

Phenomenal!

I have a 2 year old who cannot be tamed with tv or electronics. When we stumbled upon Jinglekids on Netflix my daughter was instantly smitten. The stories and lessons are fun and quirky, the graphics are AMAZING (single handedly the most aesthetic show I've ever seen), and the show is actually something I, as an adult, can handle watching 30 times in row, haha. It's smart, clever and different! Two thumbs way way up!

What's the Story?

JINGLEKIDS is a Russian children's animated series about a group of children and creatures living together in a wonderland. The series, which is dubbed into English, features Trouble, a furry creature who is well-intentioned but somehow manages to create chaos for his friends as they pursue their individual interests in baking, painting, studying math and science, and other hobbies. But despite the mix-ups, they always remain friends.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say: (3 ):
Kids say: Not yet rated

This imaginative and beautifully animated series, which is extremely popular in Russia, offers a colorful cast of characters who live in a magical world enjoying their day-to-day hobbies. Much of the entertainment comes from the mishaps unintentionally created by Trouble and his furry counterparts, which often seems to have a domino effect on the rest of the gang.

But friendship is also a major theme here, and while there are moments of frustration, everything is always forgiven in the end. Despite some minor cultural differences in the way the characters sometimes behave, JingleKids offers some universal entertainment that kids will enjoy.
