What's the Story?

MEGAMINIMALS is an animated series featuring a gang of preschool-age animals who learn while having fun. Bonnie the panda, Pickle the penguin, Cassie the cat, Eric the elephant, and Larry the lion all attend the same nursery school. With the help of their teacher Miss Meadows, who happens to be a giraffe, they try new things, use their imaginations, and learn lots of other important lessons.

This sweet, educational, and globally popular series offers fun narratives with universal lessons that young children can understand. It also presents the sorts of experiences, such as learning how to whistle and trying new foods, that they'll easily identify with.

The show's colorful preschool classroom setting and appealing characters creates a nurturing story world that feels friendly and safe. Meanwhile, there are lots of gentle teachable moments; it has a lot to offer to kids just starting preschool and beyond.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
