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?
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.
