Parent and Kid Reviews
Based on 20 parent reviews
Parents say this show is concerning due to its portrayal of poor behavior and entitlement in children, with many reviewers noting that it leads to negative behavioral changes in their kids, such as tantrums and selfishness. Additionally, it often lacks positive messages about good habits, instead implying that misbehavior is acceptable and reinforcing unhealthy views about safety and emotions, prompting parents to seek alternative programming.

What's the Story?
LITTLE ANGEL centers around a very young child, who walks but doesn't talk, as he experiences new things. His parents and siblings help him navigate these new scenarios with happy and sweet songs.
Is It Any Good?
Vivid colors, upbeat music, and a calm tone make this animated series perfectly engaging, but not overly stimulating, for toddlers. With a pre-verbal main character and hardly any spoken dialogue, Little Angel relies on simple storylines that only last the length of a song, making them perfectly suited to the attention span of very young viewers. The show models common scenarios, like learning to share, and uses the natural repetition of songs to teach lessons in multiple scenarios, making them more impactful. Many of the songs are set against familiar melodies so that kids will catch on quickly. Silly moments will also have toddlers laughing and asking for this show on repeat.
