True and the Rainbow Kingdom

We absolutely love this show! I often find that these kids shows have a lot of sass back and attitude and the characters are mean to each other. But to see a show that is so conscious of how they speak to each other and how the characters treat each other is very refreshing.There's nothing mean about the show, everything is good at its core,there's no mean kids! Even the so-called "villains"of the show are just misunderstood and that is a refreshing Viewpoint to see in children shows. It really is sending the message that everyone is worth your time and energy and some people struggle more than others to make the right choice! we love the show and the music is hilarious and wonderful.

My 2 year old is obsessed with this show. Helps me get stuff done around the house!

We absolutely love True! It's perfect for young kids (and my older kids and I actually like it, too)! True and her friends are kind and thoughtful and work together to solve problems that often have a little life lesson to take away. I love how they pause, take a deep breath, and take time to think about the problem before rushing off to solve it. I also love that there are no "bad guys". Even the friend, Grizelda, who is a little self-centered and easily could have been "the mean girl" is actually a good friend and when she realizes her actions cause problems for others, she does her best to right the situation. No one is mean to another, they are positive and lift each other up, and they are concerned about others' feelings, but not in a sickly, sugary, over-the-top way. It feels very genuine. There are no scary scenes, the creatures are adorable, and the songs are cute. And her cat sidekick, Bartleby, is actually pretty hilarious. He throws some fun/playful sarcasm in there for adults without being negative or rude. The writers do not try to sneak in political agendas or push opinions on viewers, and there are no disguised adult themes/jokes/almost-swearing that has become so popular in kid shows. It's just good, clean, caring, using-your-brain-and-heart fun.

My daughter has watched this since it debuted. As any parent knows, if a kid likes it, they will easily sit there and watch the same thing ad nauseum so it's nice that the production values are good. The stories are easy to follow and her sidekick Bartleby is funny. I also like how they meditate before attempting to solve a problem - it's a nice habit and my kid has used the breathing exercises IRL.

Not sure how educational it is, but the first episode had a mini lesson in it about calling names and making people feel bad/lose confidence. My 2.5 and 4.5 year olds were both entertained and music wasn't bad. It was weird though. Very weird.
