Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
THE FOX-BADGER FAMILY is an animated series about a blended family of foxes and badgers who are learning to live together. The children go on small adventures around the countryside and are taught important life lessons, gradually understanding themselves, each other, and the world better. Originally released in French, it's dubbed in English by voice actors Sharon Mann, Kaycie Chase, and Barbara Scaff.
Is It Any Good?
With gorgeous watercolor backgrounds of forest landscapes, this sweet series is easy on the eyes and gentle enough for preschoolers to enjoy. The ferny forests and kind characters are a lovely blend, and provide plenty of scope for adventure and learning throughout The Fox-Badger Family series. Based on a French-Canadian book, the show offers great messages about accepting differences and learning to live together in harmony.
