What's the Story?
The reality series TOO CUTE! features puppies and kittens starring in their own unique coming of age stories. From Siberian and Savannah kittens to Westie and Goldendoodle pups, each episode follows litters during the adventures of the first 10 weeks of their lives. In between watching the babies learn how to walk, climb, play, and explore, narrator Henry Strozier offers information about the unique characteristics of their breed. Animal trivia questions are also posed and answered. At the end of each episode, viewers get to meet their new owners, and see what they look like as full-grown animals.
Is It Any Good?
Too Cute! is a positive show that offers endless scenes of cuddly puppies and kittens learning how to fend for themselves during the first few months of their lives from their point of view. As they get older, their unique personalities add to the fun-filled chaos. The moments when they interact with other species of animals, including potbelly pigs and turtles, is also fun.
There's no real discussion of the do's and don'ts of raising kittens or puppies, nor are warnings offered about how to approach or handle animals. But there's lots of interesting information offered about some of reasons behind the animals' behavior, as well as some traits associated with their breed. Animal lovers of all ages will revel in it, and even non-animal lovers might be drawn to all the cuteness here.

Families can talk about TV shows and movies featuring animals. Are they produced to just be entertaining, or are they being used to promote animal rights and safety? Are the things the animals shown here are doing on camera the same stuff they would do naturally?
Who are some of the most popular animal stars in TV and film history? What was it about them specifically that made them special? Brave? Unique? Or just plain cute?
Should you ever approach animals you don't know, even if they're cute? What are the precautions you should take when you are with animals, especially babies?
