SuperChatons

....that all the detractors who've left reviews here so obviously all edgy teen/pre-teens that want to make it known that, whole they've watched the show, they hate it and find it "so cringe."

It's like okay, maybe you had to sit through it with your little sibling. You're smckearly not the target audience. I don't understand why you felt the need to come to IMDb, of all places, and denounce it. No one is going to know.

To all the parents out there: This show is a good one. My toddler is 3, and I was desperately in search of something that wasn't mind-numbingly simplistic (Daniel Tiger) but dial down a few notches from some of the more hyper-stimulating options out there.

Superkitties was definitely a hail Mary because I completely expected it to be a rebranding of paw patrol or along the same vein as puppy dog pals (which is miles better than the former, admittedly. Good music, very wholesome)

I love the fact that the villains all have a real motivation for their antics, which is typically explained and then overcome in a way that's inclusive to the misguided antagonist. Instead of just an annoying after causing havoc for the sake of it, (looking at you, Spidey and your friends)

I don't know who's writing the songs for this but the music in it is actually really really good. There's honestly not much to complain about here, as far as shows for toddlers go. Yes the wholesomeness can get to be a little bit much, but what's the alternative? The absence of a message so it's just screen time in the name of entertainment/child minding? There's some super Montessori-minded parents out there who would call me a lazy parent for allowing ANY screen time, among other things, and they may be correct. But I do what I can. Which means when I have screen time I want it to offer *something,* in addition to the opportunity to take a shower.

And at that age, the lessons need to be pretty obvious and in-your-face in order for them to understand. The other end of that spectrum might be, say, SpongeBob. And while I may have some appreciation for his bizarre antics, I don't think I want my toddler going around doing SpongeBob's, "Nyah-yah-yeah-na" laugh anytime soon, or eye. If that means having to hear, "meow meow meow" instead, so be it.

It is so fun to see these characters treat the antagonists with kindness and compassion. This enhances the life lessons I teach at home. I enjoy that the "villainous" plots are minor, and that learning lessons is the character arc everyone follows.

My daughter, 3, loves to pretend play as all the kitties and knows their powers and catch phrases. Reminds me of watching Power Rangers when I was a tot, but this is clearly better.

The songs aren't bad, the singers are decent even. My only complaint is that there isn't enough exploration of their non-super alter egos, but that might be a bit much for a show aimed at very young children.

Overall, I recommend it goes in the watch queue.

Four cute kittens who live at a cat day-care have secret identities as super heroes. When duty calls, they jump down secret tubes where they suit-up and become Super Kitties. They have two adventures each episode. Sometimes they face a random trouble-maker, and sometimes they fight the super-villain Lab Rat.

The animation is high quality 3D CGI and the kittens are adorable. The simple city setting helps educate preschool children about the world around them and the stories give lessons on good behavior.

My only criticism (based on two episodes) is the stories are very simple and I think older children will quickly lose interest. If you need to satisfy multiple children at one time, you might do better with Puppy Dog Pals or Sophia the First.

I'm not crazy about how flashy and stimulating some of the animation is, which we generally try to avoid in kids' shows. However, I absolutely love the messaging of this show. The Superkitties not only solve the problem they've been called in to help with, but also work to solve the villain's problem too. Every single time, the villain is revealed to have been acting out in an attempt to solve their own problem which is such a great lesson in empathy and understanding. It's a great way to reinforce the idea to our three year old that sometimes people act out in bad ways, but that doesn't mean they're bad people, rather they are good people who make mistakes or bad choices.

Like I said it is an adorable and decent show. Not the best show, but decent. It teaches good lessons that even the bad guys learn from. There is no hitting or fighting. It might get boring for kids over 8.

Oh I forgot to mention to the person who said that this is a ripoff of Paw Patrol and Puppy Play Pals is lying. They're nothing a like. This is why you need to check out a show cause reviewers be lying sometimes. Anyway it's cute and does have some stuff I like, but can also be boring, but it is for preschoolers. One person said it's simple, but it's a preschool show. All of them are simple. And I can't believe one viewer made so much bs in their post. There is no data that proves only cat owners love this show. Bold to assume that a person only like this show cause of cats. They're could be many reasons why. Liking a show doesn't prove any damage to a society. Cats and cat owners don't damage society. Buddy isn't obese and why are they questioning logic in a preschool show?
