Mofy
What's the Story?
MOFY is an animated series about a young rabbit learning about emotions and feelings. Mofy lives in a puffy cotton ball, and likes spending time with her friends in the forest, including Kerry the frog, Mogu the hedgehog, and a pair of squirrels named Lee and Sioux. Every day she is full of all sorts of emotional responses, which lead to feelings like sadness, jealousy, happiness, and fear. But bit by bit she learns to process them, and with the help of The Moon every night, she is able to think about how she feels about the day's events, and what she's learned as a result.
Is It Any Good?
This sweet and gentle series offers preschoolers a chance to learn about emotions and feelings by showing how Mofy and her friends manage theirs. From being scared of a black crow, to feeling sad about arriving late to an eclipse party, Mofy features activities and adventures that elicit various emotional responses from the cast. The discussions between them, and The Moon's simple teachings, offer understandable explanations about the cause of these feelings, and what can be done to maintain, regulate, or change them. These are valuable lessons, but it's also colorful and fun, making it a great option for young viewers.
