ToddWorld
What's the Story?
The animation in TODDWORLD looks like a child's drawing -- bright colors and funny shapes abound. In each episode, Todd and his friends confront a challenge: a strange plant that suddenly pops out of the ground, or a lost baby platypus. The friends have to figure out how to deal with their many obstacles in a way that will be fun for young viewers.
Is It Any Good?
The lessons are simple but good: don't judge someone until you know them, and you don't have to look the same to be a family (the platypus' mom turns out to be a kangaroo). Everyone is accepted, and spontaneous, imaginative ideas and playfulness are encouraged.
There's not a lot of joking or fooling around, just straightforward but gentle lessons about basic life lessons. It's a nice show for families to watch together and could easily lead to good discussions about how the show's situations occur in everyday life.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
