Maya and the Three

I'm Mexican-Cuban American and the GOURGEUS representation in this show is just beautiful. The visuals are some of the best I've seen from Netflix. The story is incredibly charming. And the character designs are one for the books.

Perfectly crafted mini-series that will bring joy and tears to you! :-). All the voice actors, especially Zoe Saldana and Diego Luna, bring life to the magical fantasy story! But, the warm writing of the characters and their growing relationships with ups and downs makes this truly delightful! :-)

I enjoyed Maya and the Three. I found the Mesoamerican Mythology that it was built around really interesting, particularly the gods that populate the mythos - as well as the indigenous cultures. It provided a new and insightful view into that rich and wonderous world.

The show has good energy and charming characters, along with good animation that brought the series to life, while honoring the cultures that the show's born from. However, despite the unique and rich civilizations it derives from, parts of the show was unexceptional and not unusual - having familiar plot points that have been seen elsewhere.

All in all, a refreshing watch with a renowned voice cast. Really enjoyable.

I stumbled upon this show on my kid's channel and I soon found myself pleading with my kids to watch it together! 🤣 Of course there's the stunning Meso American design envisioned by Jorge Gutierrez but by the 2nd of 9 episodes i knew it was an entirely different kind of animation - tragic backstories of outcasts, important characters that die, and emotional moments that are given space to land that I found myself tearing up multiple times. The story considers power from not only individuals, or even families, but communities.

It's absolutely fantastic. It's visually beautiful and the story is epic. We loved The Book of Life & clearly this is going to be another family favorite.
