Our verdict

  • Good influence 2/5
  • Parent appeal 3/5
  • Well made 3/5

This series receives mixed reviews for its reimagining of the original cast as toddlers, with praise for its polished animation and visual style. While some viewers enjoy the witty parodies and find it an acceptable watch, others are critical of the cynical tone and frequent use of gross-out humor. There is also disagreement regarding character behavior, as some find the focus on mischief and disrespect toward authority figures to be problematic.

Why these scores

Good influence

Does it show behaviour you'd be happy to see copied?

2out of 5

Some reviews describe the teacher as a patient authority figure and note that characters face consequences for their actions, but many others highlight a recurring pattern of cynical, disrespectful, and vulgar behavior. Viewers frequently report the young characters scheming to outwit adults and engaging in mischief that is played for laughs without providing constructive lessons.

Parent appeal

Will you enjoy watching it with them?

3out of 5

Most reviews suggest the show is a tolerable background watch that offers some mild entertainment through pop-culture parodies and character-based humor. While fans of the original franchise may enjoy the premise, others find the cynical tone and reliance on gross-out gags less engaging than earlier entries in the series.

Well made

Are the writing, animation and sound made with care?

3out of 5

The animation is generally praised for its smooth quality and vibrant backgrounds, and character designs are seen as effective adaptations of the original cast. However, the writing is a point of contention, with some critics calling it sharp and clever while others describe it as formulaic, chaotic, or reliant on cheap gimmicks.
