What's the Story?

Sonia, Mel, and their cousin Hugo love spending time together with their family on SILLY SUNDAYS. On the day that parents don't work and kids don't go to school, the family gets together to enjoy their best times, through ups and downs, in the simplest, most joyful ways.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 2 ):
Kids say : Not yet rated

Simply put—yes, it's great. Silly Sundays excels at doing the basics really well: lovely characters, positive values, catchy tunes, and a certain nostalgia of simpler times spent together as a family—playing, imagining, and enjoying each others' company. It's a great example for young viewers and a helpful reminder to parents about the lessons we can learn and teach our children by simply being there with them.
