Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai

Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai is a fantastic surprise-visually gorgeous, rich in storytelling, and full of heart. It's everything I hoped a prequel could be. The show dives into the origins of Gizmo with a deep respect for the original films while introducing a whole new layer of mythology and character development.

The animation is beautifully crafted, with a style that blends Eastern folklore and classic Gremlins chaos in the best way. The balance between humor, action, and darker themes is handled really well, making it suitable for older kids and longtime fans alike.

It's clear the creators put love into expanding the Gremlins universe. Whether you're a diehard fan of the originals or completely new to the series, Secrets of the Mogwai is a must-watch. A perfect 10 stars from me!

I watched this series with my 4 year old son and we both had a blast watching it! That being said, of course Secrets of the Mogwai gets browning points for contributing to some bonding tome between me and my boy. This show maintains alot of that speilberg magic and fun that made the first film such a beloved staple in so many households. Many adults or even older children may be turned away as the animation style may come off as being to childish and truth be told these were my initial thoughts as well. I beg however, please do not let the look of this series turn you away from sitting down and just giving it a shot! It has the childish animation and fun characters that kids will love while also delving into more serious matters and having captivating character and story moments that will also keep the older generations invested. Secrets of the Mogwai is a series that I would recommend anyone gives a watch especially if your a fan of the gremlins and ESPECIALLY If you have little ones to watch it with!

As a huge Gremlin fan ever since I was a kid ( I had the novel and the story records), this series strikes a wonderful balance between expanding on the lore while paying fan service. The callbacks to the first two films are copious. I really enjoyed all the references and the actor doing Gizmo hits it on the head! I was a little worried this would have been dumbed down but I found myself invested about 2 minutes in. The animation is beautiful. I just wished they dropped all 10 at once.

Hopefully this will get the VIPs motivated to continue to expand the universe with another live action film (no CGI) or a live action series (again, no CGI please).

I didn't know how the enemy would be because I loved the movies but I'm 38 and honestly watching this anime made me laugh and remember how cute Gizmo was definitely something you could watch with your younger nieces and nephews! This gives me hope for a third movie! Gremlins 2 with such a iconic movie especially in my childhood it still holds up! I just know Gremlins three will knock it out of the park.

Known as Secrets of the Mogwai in the first season and The Wild Batch in the second, this show is a good entry in the Gremlins franchise. It feels like a mature series aimed at kids, never talking down to its audience, not shying away from cursing, alcohol or violence and portraying social issues in the Prohibition both in China and later the US.

The animation is gorgeous. A form of painted CGI, some of the backgrounds and animation are true 2D; this is best exemplified by water in the second season.

Where it falters a bit is that Sam's voice actor seems have an issue with intonation. I don't know if it was because he's going through puberty or something, but he sounds a bit off. An overall trivial detail.

A strong recommendation.
