Mighty MonsterWheelies Review 2024 Tv Show Series Cast Crew Online
Even my 4 year old was pointing out the characters by saying “oh that one is Sky, and that one is Marshall!” Each show follows a familiar formula. There is an emergency, the mayor calls the Mighty Monsterwheelies. They get a signal and all go to their castle (their version of the lookout).
There they watch the description of the emergency on a screen while the lead truck hands out their assignments. The trucks then drive down a spiral road (their version of the lookout slide) that wraps around the castle and leap into action. Throw in a catch phrase for each of them before they do their rescue manoeuvres and it’s the total copy of the Paw Patrol formula. My kids watched one episode and then asked if we could switch it to Rubble and Crew instead.
Pretty formulaic children’s show much in the same vein as Paw Patrol and The Mighty Express. There is trouble in “place x” call the team to assemble at HQ and then pick characters to go save the day.
I love, love, love the Universal Monsters and so when I came across this the other day I was pretty excited to have a format that I could share that love with my son. While this is a decent show it lacks any real tone of the Universal Monsters universe and just slaps likenesses on product to consume.
Given that this was done by Universal and DreamWorks the animation style is very generic and dated compared to its contemporaries like the aforementioned Paw Patrol and Mighty Express and others. While it is entertaining enough for what it is there is a lack of educational value and any real uniqueness to make it worth calling a part of the Universal Monsters universe.
