Superkitties

....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.

This show really raises the bar for preschool series in every way. It looks amazing. Beautiful animation. Just look at the fur on the kitties in this series and compare it to other preschool shows. They're gorgeous. The storytelling is spot on with pitch-perfect messaging about friendship, teamwork, empathy and forgiveness. It's also unbelievably cute with stellar songs, and it's something parents can watch and enjoy with their kids without losing their minds because it's smart and funny. The "brave, smart, strong, kind" mantra is a great one to impart to young kids. Best preschool show out there right now.

Not sure why people are trying to compare this to paw patrol or PJ masks. It's not the same in the slightest. It's a super hero animal show that's not dogs or people, it's cute. My daughter has been asking for this show more than bluey as of lately, not every child likes paw patrol / PJ masks this is a more updated super hero show in my opinion, they don't have the same "equipment" as the paw patrol either so not sure why that reviewer said that. The cats have a completely different way of doing things, I'm pretty sure paw patrol doesn't use their claws or cat style to take down the bad guys. I hope they come out with merchandise soon, my daughter loves this! I've been watching the 4 episodes they have on Disney+ and can see ZERO similarities to the shows people are trying to compare it to. They have an equal amount of boy and girl cats compared to the 1 girl the other shows have. Can't wait for more episodes!

I would have gift it a 5/10, but I remembered there are even worse pre-schooler shows (paw patrol, ariel, the new Disney Jr. Cartoon, wtf's wrong with these people? Spidey and his friends? Bro literally ruined my childhood). My actual problems with this show is that these characters are using every single expression with the word "kitty" included, the kitties have basic backstory, and the action is too childish. I cringed really hard, but at LEAST it's not as bad paw patrol which is 2 times worse than this one (but the movie was kinda good though). If you're a 3-year-old, it's worth watching, but if you're a parent or you're born in the 90s - 2000s, warning: cringe alert.

Call me a manchild all you want but this show is so sweet and entertaining I can't help but love it. Obviously it still has the DJr faults like repetitive plots, corny endings and predictable episodes but everything outside of those negatives is just great. If you want to show your kid a great show, turn this on.

Another one of the things I have to complain about is the animation, while it's nothing too offensive, being the regular DJr animation we've known to expect from the program, I feel like "SuperKitties" could've done better with an animation more similar to "The Lion Guard" or "Bluey", having more freedom to do more cartoon-y and wacky stuff with the characters.
