The Centsables
What's the Story?
THE CENTSABLES is an animated series about a team of six animals who are employees at the Bank of Centsinnati by day and stealth superheroes by night. They work together to protect the people of the town from falling into financial traps. Led by secret agent Hank, Veloci-Rabbit, Toro-Nadu, Aquatique, Ursa-Major, Greenback, and Hurlwind stop crime by taking down one villain at a time. The group relies on super speed, super strength, flying, and element control to also impart fiscal responsibility principles to the people of Centsinnati.
Is It Any Good?
This innovative cartoon is filled with information meant to teach financial literacy. The Centsables relies on superhero antics to complement its creator's financial learning program for young children. While some parts of the series are slow-paced and predictable, its purposeful pauses to test children's knowledge create an engaging learning experience. It may not be the most exciting thing to watch, but the series does help provide a strong foundation for understanding financial principles.
