What's the Story?
THE CHOCOLIX is an animated series from Brazil about a brother and sister who live in a candy-filled world. Chocomark (voiced by Lucas Almeida in the original version), Chocolyne (Leticia Celini), and their friends and puppy Sweetcookie have adventures in Chocoland, where they've recently moved from another kingdom. Their friend Max (Renato Cavalncanti) has hair that looks like sprinkles, and they attend a school where they're taught by Mr. Moonpie (Gilberto Baroli). Each episode ends with a short, lively song, like "Chocolele," which is all about a celebratory dance. The show also dedicates an episode to Chocomark's facial difference; he has a skin condition (called "crispies" in the show) on his face and is concerned about being bullied because of them.
Is It Any Good?
At first, this candy-colored series doesn't look like anything special, but beyond the heavy chocolate theme, it effectively addresses lots of issues in age-appropriate ways. Everything in The Chocolix references chocolate: The kids' parents own a Choco-spa where they offer Choco-therapy, a soccer ball is referred to as a "choco-ball" -- you get the idea. Kids will enjoy the bold animation and bright candy backgrounds, and parents will approve of the show's lack of product placement despite the constant sweet references. There are also lots of positive social-emotional lessons, and plot points promote generosity and teamwork. For example, when the kids find treasure, their family donates it to the city in order to build a reading center. It's pretty simple, but it's cute and filled with enough learning opportunities to recommend to preschoolers who want to meet some new characters.
