Toopy and Binoo

I have 4 kids and they all love Toopy and Binoo. We always knew when the show was coming on because the kids would remind us, getting all excited and shouting about it. Now that the dvds' have come out we do not worry about it because we have it on demand now. I am waiting to find the plush toys for Toopy and Binoo. My kids would absolutely love to have them. It is hard to tell them there are no toys of the two of them yet. I really like the show, it is funny and cute, even if they are dressing up like girls in dresses or being princesses I think the point is to cater to boy and girl audiences. I have no complaints about this show at all. I mean at least they aren't a couple of bunnies with no parents.

This is the best show from my childhood.

I love every second of that show, even some of the not so good episodes. I always remember watching treehouse waiting for Toopy and Binoo to be on.

It's a memory that I would never forget.

I would like to point out that Toopy and Binoo is originally a french book series written by a FEMALE author. For those that think homosexual men are conspiring against their straight children. Also, Binoo is Toopy's stuffed animal. Not his gay lover. God forbid children use their imaginations once in a while, wouldn't want to get in the way of all the "clean" educational shows out there. Lots of little boys have tried on high-heels or their big sisters clothes before Toopy and Binoo came along. Oh. I better stop breast feeding too because the little guy started feeding his doll that way. I guess I should take away the doll too because boys shouldn't have babies.

My three year old son loves both the TV show and the web site (see the link below). He has enjoyed the show off and on for over a year now. Almost all of the other 10 boys at his day care also watch the show.

This is an animiated fantasy based show from the perspective of a young boy Toopy and his stuffed animal friend Binoo and other characters.

Almost all of the action and conversations take place with inanimate objects but the boys imagination brings them to life. Messages on reading, getting outside and sleeping are high on the list of activities.

The colours, music and relationships are all good. The show is produced in both English and french but almost all the merchandise is in French.

I cannot believe that some parents are commenting that "dressing up in as girls and using makeup" will turn their boys into homosexuals. May as well torch all the re-runs of Mr. Dressup, chop up the famous tickle trunk and label Ernie Coombs as the instrument of Satan!! Please. Who are the parents protecting here, their own insecurity or their kids?

I have to say that the show is absolutely awesome for young children, 1 to 4. The show does not contain any kind of violence, negativity, elements of bullying, or anything that young children don't need. They need exactly what Toopy and Binoo are showing. Caring, sharing, using their imagination, being good spirited and full of joy. I'm so happy this show doesn't show any kind of negative elements, because lets face it there are plenty those for them later!
