Princess Power

This show is not completely devoid of redeeming qualities. It does have some catchy, nice music and pleasing asthetic value with nice animation. However, the characters seem to lack dimension and all have personalities similar to one another. The gluttonous cat is unoriginal, a copycat of many whimsical, silly types of characters in plenty other movies and shows.

While a child is not likely to care about how derivative a show is, parents may be wary of enduring the content of another show such as this.

It feels very similar to True and The Rainbow Kingdom in overall presentation, except with weaker stories and less charm.

Princess Power is yet another new show in Netflix's long line of cartoons aimed at little kids to teach them things. And this one is for the girls who love to be princesses.

In the Fruitdom, four princess, Kira Kiwi, Beatrice "Bea" Blueberry, Rita Raspberry, and Penelope "Penny" Pineapple, are four girls from four different kingdoms (or Fruitdoms, as they are based on frutis) who are best friends despite their differences. When a problem arises, the four team up to take action to make a difference and prove to get things done, princesses wear pants.

Based on the book Princesses Wear Pants, Princess Power is a neat series for young girls. With its 15-minute episodes, it tells stories of the four making a difference in their Fruitdoms and doing what they can to help others and save the day. Each of the four main characters are good at skills (Penny is an aspiring scientist, Rita is good at crafting, etc), which shows the many career paths girls can take when growing up. The stories are heart-warming and the voice acting and animation is good. This is something to watch if you have daughters who like to be princesses, as it breaks the mold of how a princess should be portrayed, as these four are not there to be pretty.

This show is great. Sure, it might not have the "usual" character design you see from Disney or Dreamworks etc. But I actually think that's a good thing. First of all, why would we need more of the same? I like that the princesses are also pretty badass. They like sports, science, smart things and still have the princess thing going on. They love to wear dress pants, which is SO healthy for girls as an influence. You can be fabulous with pants! It's way more practical than dresses. And they do wear dresses for fancy events, so you won't miss the fancy aspect of it. They teach about friendship, caring about people, animals and their world. And they're pretty original. Give it a chance. Much better than a lot of shows out there directed to girls which only teach them to be popular, dress to impress and care about looks. This one is way more than that. Very healthy and clean. Great diversity too.

Princess Power is a show that love a lot. It's a show that's pretty simple, but has a lot of heart to it. The show follows four young princesses from fruit-themed kingdoms called fruitdoms. The main four princesses are artist, fashionista, and musician Rita Raspberry from the Raspberry Fruitdom (voiced by Trinity Jo Li Bliss), animal lover Kira Kiwi from the Kiwi Fruitdom (voiced by Dana Heath), scientist Penny Pineapple from the Pineapple Fruitdom (voiced by Luna Bella Zamora), and sporty tomboy Bea Blueberry from the blueberry fruitdom (voiced by Madison Calderon) alongside Penny's cat Miss Fussywiggles (voiced by Alanna Ubach). Whenever a situation arises, the four princesses ring their charm alarms, gather at The Punchbowl Treehouse on Punchbowl Island, and go to wherever they're needed to help the fruitizens out. The show is really great. Each episode has plenty of humor and positive messages that makes them fun and sweet to watch. The princesses are all fun and likable to watch. They just want to help out the people they serve, and do so in their own ways that makes them very engaging. I like how season 3 goes for a bit of a story arc, yet still maintains everything that makes the show great. I give it 2 thumbs up.

While the animation in Princess Power is visually appealing and well-done, and its core idea holds promise, the implementation feels strongly message-driven regarding certain social perspectives, which some might perceive as heavy-handed for a children's show. The language used also presents a potential barrier; its frequent use of specific cultural references and slang could alienate or genuinely confuse younger viewers who aren't familiar with them. It's also notable that the series depicts various family types, including two main characters whose family structures differ from the traditional nuclear model.
