This animation didn't disappoint, Disney did a good work wiith it. Not to drop any spoiler, this is a must watch for everyone, it's funny, a little bit of action, family and tech. It won't be bad to see more of this kind of animation coming out of Nigeria.

It really nice to watch movies that reflect our culture as Nigerians. This animation is one an adult and kids can watch.

Would have loved to see more. For a mini series the story felt rushed. It should have told us more about the characters in it. We have so many tribes in Nigeria, the movie made it seem like we just have Yorubas only.....

When I found it I binged watched all the available episodes. Since my 3 year old son saw it the first time three days ago he has been asking for only this. I guess this will be taking the place of Aladin and Moana on our TV stream. He loves the story and the lizard, but I love seeing a different culture portrayed with people who look like us.

I particularly like the language authenticity and the use of names true to the region. The native dress is spectacular and choosing and preferring local foods make the story more believable and rich. I also like the development of the characters, no one is totally good or totally evil, we see the character development in a beautiful story that children can relate to.

This was unexpectedly really good! It had really clean animation and the story line was great. I love how they merged present and future realities both the hardships and opportunities. I also really enjoyed seeing the culture (at least I imagine it's actually the culture) of Lagos, Nigeria. From the language to the food it felt authentic while also giving us that futuristic vibe! My favorite part was the tech and imaging things like that actually happening in the very near future. Additionally, while it's unfortunate, they touched on a huge issue that is seemingly ignored by the masses and that is human trafficking/abduction of children. I am glad I watch and that the creators brought it about and Disney put it on the platform...fingers crossed for a season 2!!

This show does have a unique premise and location, being a Sci-Fi in Nigeria. However, I couldn't find this show particularly entertaining, my little sister did like it though. The main character seems good enough, though I wish there was some more depth put into them. This is a safe show, it's not risky at all besides the themes of kidnapping, and it is just boring to watch. It feels empty, like so much of the things Disney has been creating. With that said, I still think the show is good and it's not cheaply made or written, it's just missing that Disney magic that made some of my favorite Disney cartoons.

It's always nice to see things that reflect our culture on the big screen and after watching the whole series at a sitting also watch the making and enjoyed seeing what went into it. I was curious as to the theme but listening to the making put that in context.

I hope to see more things like this using artistes from the cultures represented. Nigeria is a multifaceted country and hope to see more content showcasing the many different cultures like Hausa, Igbo, itshekiri, ibibio, etc. However, this is a good start. I also loved the fact that this was a work that took almost 4 years to realize. That's not normal for Nigerian movies and it shows.

Thank you and looking forward to seeing more representation. It's important.
