Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
MIGHTY MONSTERWHEELIES are half-monsters, half-vehicle heroes who team up to protect the town of Motorvania and its citizens from peril, accidents, and the occasional threats of villains like Phantom Freeze and Invisible Van.
Is It Any Good?
With monsters, cars and rescue missions, the series is a fresh twist on familiar favorites. Mighty MonsterWheelies combines preschool staples in a show that's easy to enjoy, but may taste like a favorite dish you've had too many times. While the idea of monsters as heroes adds a shift in perspective, it's not enough to stand out among the sea of similar series such as SuperKitties and PAW Patrol.
If your kid loves cars, monsters, and action-packed adventures, it's a solid choice. Characters are kind, the CGI is impressive, and the scripts include instances of emotional intelligence by teaching to stay calm and positive in difficult situations.

Monsters are often seen as scary creatures, but here they're shown as heroes because they're kind and help those around them. In your opinion, what makes someone a hero?
