Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

Teach girls early men aren't as special as women.

Yet another show for girls teaching them magic or simply believing in themselves will get them what they want. It is a nice sentiment, but is just setting them up for disappointment. Success in life is as much about hard work as self confidence. And then you still fail sometimes. Also she gives her friends confidence to accomplish their goals, but uses magic for hers? And why are her and her mother fairies, but her gather and her brother are normal? Are you trying to say only girls and women are special. No lie my 3 yr old daughter went to her brother to tell him he can't be special because he's a boy. This is a disturbing trend in kids programs that the mom is always a hard working intelligent woman and the dad is a lovable idiot. Or just average. Honestly as a mom I want my girls to respect their father and men in general as much as they do women. The story is lazy the songs are poorly written. The whole show seems cheap and not well done. Pass it by.

Awful on every level.

The writing is uncreative and utterly basic. The lessons are flimsy, and the solutions mostly aided by her silly magic. The songs are nauseatingly cringeworthy and sound like they were written in 5 minutes. The animation is subpar. The characters are undeveloped stock characters with no distinctions or interest. A terrible show in every possible way.
