It was cute but scary for a kid’s movie

I took my almost five year old and it was scary for her. She had her face covered a lot. I felt bad but she did enjoy some parts.

I love how this show demonstrates how to help and care for people in your family and your neighbors. Teamwork is shown often with everyone showing different strengths and skills. I also appreciate the different body types, races, and facial features shown on the characters.

Fun Family Movie

I took my five year old to see this one and she really enjoyed it. She laughed out loud often. There were a few off color jokes but they went over her head and they weren’t that bad. it was fun go see it!

Diversity - Positive Female Leads

My daughter really liked this show! She thought the super powers were cool and loved some of the characters. I think it’s a little quirky but I really like the exposure to South African culture and the diversity of the characters. it shows team work and positive interactions between people. It has positive storylines and families!

Age Appropriate - Fun - Teaches Problem Solving

We appreciate the thoughtful casting and examples of family units different then ours. It’s nice that it features different animals that we do not get to see in the US very often. I love how it shows people working together, figuring out problems, and being kind. My daughter enjoyed it!

My four year really enjoyed it!

I like the diverse casting and the varied skills the girls have. We went to the library to read the books too which were pretty cute afterwards. It was a hit in our house!
