What's the Story?

MR. CROCODILE is a croc, and Daisy is an eight-year-old human girl, but that little difference doesn't stop them from being best friends. Every day, Daisy and Mr. Crocodile turn ordinary moments into extraordinary adventures. She teaches him all about her world: sleepovers, birthday parties, riding a bike, and mailing packages. With Daisy moving between her dad and mom's homes, the duo has plenty of adventures together.

Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say : Not yet rated

This series is based on the French books Mr. Crocodile Is Always Hungry, and it's a rare case of television that feels like a classic book while still having the pace of a TV show. Mr. Crocodile is fun for young kids and the whole family. There are whimsical visuals, parental representation, and many positive examples. Of course, there's also cartoon mishap, but nothing harmful. It's a show where kids can learn and be entertained.
