Not educational but goofy and fun

Not much for educational content but it's just a bunch of silly fun shorts sometimes containing morals (like not stealing or being kind). Two have eye lashes and one has a hair clip but that seems to be the only way gender is really presented and isn't complete stereotypical (example, the larger bunny is pink while the one with the hair clip is blue and they all take part in the same play) Yes they over exaggerate crying but they over exaggerate every emotion. If you have a child who mimics then I'd consider that but it has been helpful for us to see the exaggeration as we're learning showing emotions at age 3. Sometimes the action distracts him too much from something tho so we have to turn it off if there's something else he should be doing (like eating).

What's the Story?

SUNNY BUNNIES is the story of five round bunnies who emerge from drops of color emitted from a light source, typically the sun. Turbo is the group leader, a mini orange fireball with a bossy streak and tons of energy. Sisters Iris and Shiny love to do things together, but they're very protective of their belongings and sometimes get upset if they're taken. Big Boo has a good heart that helps his friends see past his chronic clumsiness, and Hopper, the littlest of the five, makes trouble for the group but always finds a way to make up for it in the end. Each episode sees the bunnies in a new location, exploring their surroundings, playing, and inevitably causing and cleaning up from some kind of a mess.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (7):
Kids say (1):

With vibrant CGI effects and darling spherical characters bursting with personality, this preschool series masters the art of nonverbal storytelling. The episodes are short, running only about three minutes apiece, and simple enough that words are mostly unnecessary. The good news is that this makes it easy for young viewers to follow along. The less good news is that there's not much plot development or opportunity for stressing a message of any kind.

Sunny Bunnies is a joyful, comical show with silly mischief and friendship dynamics (competition, sharing, hurting feelings, etc.) that may seem familiar to kids. While they are resolved in unrealistic time and ways on-screen, they do raise some issues parents and kids can discuss after the antics are done.
