We absolutely love True! It's perfect for young kids (and my older kids and I actually like it, too)! True and her friends are kind and thoughtful and work together to solve problems that often have a little life lesson to take away. I love how they pause, take a deep breath, and take time to think about the problem before rushing off to solve it. I also love that there are no "bad guys". Even the friend, Grizelda, who is a little self-centered and easily could have been "the mean girl" is actually a good friend and when she realizes her actions cause problems for others, she does her best to right the situation. No one is mean to another, they are positive and lift each other up, and they are concerned about others' feelings, but not in a sickly, sugary, over-the-top way. It feels very genuine. There are no scary scenes, the creatures are adorable, and the songs are cute. And her cat sidekick, Bartleby, is actually pretty hilarious. He throws some fun/playful sarcasm in there for adults without being negative or rude. The writers do not try to sneak in political agendas or push opinions on viewers, and there are no disguised adult themes/jokes/almost-swearing that has become so popular in kid shows. It's just good, clean, caring, using-your-brain-and-heart fun.
