Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
PUI PUI MOLCAR is a Japanese series of non-verbal, stop-motion shorts involving the wacky world of wool guinea pig cars and the passengers they pick up.
Is It Any Good?
Episodes of this bite-size Japanese series are extremely short and silly. Very young viewers may find Pui Pui Molcar to be surprising and engaging for a time, but their initial interest may fade and the series probably won't do much for kids older than preschool age. Fans of the super-cute may enjoy how these critters look, but the whole thing doesn't have much depth.
