Alicia en su Maravillosa Pastelería

I've been knowing and adoring the Alice and Wonderland franchise for years. However, I never thought they would add this. Anyway, it's still fun. I might add more to this review.

I'll admit, I was kind of expecting to be disappointed, as I am a bit with Spiderman and His Amazing Friends (which repeats a moral every 3rd sentence)...but I'm pleasantly surprised with this show. The characters are visually adorable and unique, a young twist on our old faves. They get into cute little adventures and Alice obviously needs to bake or bring along something...and it's usually magical and fun, as are the adventures (it is Wonderland!) The voice actors are superb and the deck of cards is a hoot. It's a fun show for little children to older ones.

I'm someone who likes eating and baking, so I'm a bit biased in favor of this show. Regardless, this is a show that I find to be pretty good. It's bright and colorful with all sorts of gorgeous scenery. The songs are pretty spot on, as is the humor. You find all the characters pretty fun to watch. There's some solid messages about creativity and thinking outside the box. I call this a win.

I love the bright colors, adorable characters, and fun episodes. However this is basically Butterbeans Cafe with a twist. Alice, who slightly portrays Butterbean, as a similar personality, same high voice, and same magic whisk. Both characters also have a cat named cookie. And, flying butterfly cookies. The magic recipes are the same too. This would be a 10/10 show if it wasn't copying another show.

This show has a lot going for it. The artwork is great and the 3D animation is excellent. The characters are super-cute and the food is mouth-watering! There are lots of lively songs. There is well-designed educational value in teaching the importance of following steps and measurements, and it also demonstrates the cause and effect of things we do. Moral lessons about feelings and relationships are taught, but not overdone.

Fans of Alice in Wonderland will find this show visually appealing.

I do think this show could have a broader audience if the characters were not so overly sweet. A little more "edge" like in the original Alice in Wonderland cartoon would make this appeal to older viewers too. While it is not another Sofia the First, it is a fine program for children up to 1st grade level.

I admit this show is similar to Butterbean's Cafe, but I believe Alice's Wonderland Bakery deserves the Gold Ribbon for best baked program! I do not see much of a comparison to Strawberry Shortcake.
