    Cute, Funny and Entertaining for all ages

    The stop motion animation was very high quality and the voice actors really sold their performance. I went in with low expectations but I was blown out of the water with the quality of the show. Everything from direction to sound and music design was perfect down to the last minute detail. It was purrfect <3 The 2 cats and their adventures were captivating as a first time watcher as well as as a returning viewer. The title track was so catchy, I kept humming it for days on end.

    I plan to watch this with my family this summer and will highly recommend this show to everyone of all ages. Very wholesome clay kitty content.

    Overall good show.

    This show have used clay-mation in very intensive ways, such as characters stretching while moving, and the theme song, it is good even for claymation 70's standards. Ngl, it is arguably the best Italian series to exist on the planet. Also I'm happy this still airs on BabyFirstTV and what makes this even more awesome is that, the owner of the network had not even had plans to take it off the network. Just incredible.

    Wish they had a reboot of the show.

    Also, After Fransesco Misseri cancelled the 2000 reboot of the series in 2007, he/she went on to create a "Mio Mao knockoff" Sesame Street segment for Season 39 which that is, Bert and Ernie's Great Adventures in 2008.
