The Chicken Squad

I was natural to the show at first, but my opinion has since changed. This show is awful!

The animation is outdated for 2021 standards, the characters are bland and stereotypical, the tone is mean-spirited and childish and has repetitive plots.

The worst episode is Honey Bee Boogie Woogie, where the characters literally TWEAK AT THE VIEWERS! Not joking, that is not appropriate for preschoolers!

The show also had some wasted potential for the character Captain Tully, since she has heterochromia iridium, a unique condition for a character, but they did NOTHING to her.

The show is also unfaithful to the original book which I heard is way better.

Preschoolers deserve better than this, especially since NOT ALL OF THEM ARE IDIOTS! Want to watch a better preschool show that entertains you and your kids? Go watch Bluey or Spidey and his Amazing Friends. You will have a much better time with those. No wonder that Disney Junior cancelled it, which is for the best because it implies they even hate the show.

Our family loves this show. You definitely should watch!

The show was honestly great I really wanted to see more of it and see more characters more adventures more everything I honestly don't know why people hate on it so much. It was actually pretty good it was completely unfair of Disney to cancel it after one season people actually liked it. This show has to come back really it does.

The characters, the song, and everything about it oh and uhh Captain Tully of course I would say she was the MVP of all Attractive and best characters love it and the show

And as alway in anyway preschool show from Disney the episodes feel like a movie it even could have made it to the big screen.

I really want it to come back.

The Chicken Squad book series is one of my daughter's favorites. They are clever and witty. The chicks- Sugar, Dirt, Sweetie, and Poppy are independent and adventurous. Disney has stripped them of their intelligence and personalities. It's dumbed them down into a cookie cutter Paw Patrol clone. Shame on Disney.

An oft-repeated genre of preschool show nowadays is the "animals rescuing people" show, which, to be fair, has existed long before Paw Patrol (Wonder Pets for example), and this particular show, Chicken Squad, is based on a book series (I haven't heard of the books or read them because I don't keep up with the modern children's book scene).

While the show uses the stock Disney Junior tropes (animated in CGI, lack of title cards, once-an-episode songs, kid protagonists, copious celebrity guest stars), it also subverts some of the stock preschool show tropes altogether. Our heroes, Coop, Sweetie, and Little Boo aren't perfect people whatsoever, and a huge component of the show is them learning to use their skills and become the best heroes they can be.

And each of them are strong in their own way. Sweetie is physically strong (and I like that she's a strong girl), Coop is intelligent, and Little Boo is the youngest and fastest of our sibling trio. They have a nice dynamic with each other that can be entertaining to watch.

Just wish it wasn't as formulaic, and I don't see myself watching this every day, but it's nice for what it is. I just hope it stays true to what it is and doesn't do anything drastic.
