Wylde Pak
What's the Story?
Lily Pak (voiced by Nikki Castillo) is totally looking forward to summer; she's going to get a new gaming room in her house, where she lives with her parents and grandmother Halmoni (Jean Yoon). It's going to be awesome. But when her half-brother Jack Wylde (Benjamin Plessala) shows up at their doorstep, plans are going to change. Jack's mom, a traveling wildlife photographer, has decided it's time for him to live a more settled life. With the Wylde-Pak home now in chaos, everyone's a little out of sorts, but as Lily and Jack learn, there's tons of fun to be had together.
Is It Any Good?
This charming animated comedy brings a lovable, less traditional family to life. Inspired by creators Paul Watling and Kyle Marshall's real lives and experiences with multiracial blended families, Wylde Pak is a fun treat with some depth beneath the kooky fun. Sometimes the chaos is a little much, and the cartoonish violence and occasional peril might be a lot for certain kids to handle, but for those who love high-energy antics, this is a great pick.
