What's the Story?
WALTER 100% is a character whose motivation is to help the environment -- everything he does is focused on this lesson. With his nonverbal, slapstick humor, Walter conveys his frustration with others when they don't follow the same rules that he finds important.
Is It Any Good?
This live-action, slapstick comedy show has interesting story segments that feature environmental awareness themes. This message is important, of course, yet it feels misplaced in this genre, which is typically used for entertainment and comedy, making Walter 100% a bit hard to get excited about. The mixed messages of caring about the environment versus Walter's sometimes inappropriate behavior are tricky for younger kids to figure out, and they're the target audience here.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about how the positive things that Walter does versus the negative things in Walter 100%. They can also discuss how easy or difficult it was for them to determine what people were “saying” through their nonverbal behavior.
Kids: What kinds of things does Walter do? What drives Walter to do the things he does? Sometimes Walter does negative things when trying to do something positive, like breaking into someone’s house so that he can turn off the lights to save electricity. Is it okay to do that? When is it okay and when is it not okay?
