Wonderoos Review 2024 Tv Show Series Cast Crew Online
There are a glut of preschool shows across different streaming platforms and it’s easy to see how some manage to achieve such massive viewing numbers. Some, like Bluey and Peppa Pig, have managed to grab a huge audience and deliver memorable experiences that kids and (dare I say adults?) alike can enjoy. Meanwhile, there are other shows that hypnotize you with nightmarish visions and annoying music. Yes In The Night Garden, I’m looking at you!
Wonderoos is a fun preschool show that doesn’t reinvent the wheel or do anything all that special – and that works in its favour. What Wonderoos does, it does with a lot of rhythm, vibrant visuals and a confident style. Each episode is structured rather rigidly so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting even from only watching a couple of episodes.
Here, we’re introduced to Wonderoos Luly, Hazzy, Teshi, Dewey and Kiki. These guys are best friends and team up to help teach kids new things. Each episode opens with a catchy theme song before a POV shot shows who the “host” of the 14 minute episode will be each time. These guys then go on to tell a story about a different experience, ranging from how to sleep properly, going to the toilet to avoid accidents, and even mental aspects like staying calm or saying sorry.
There’s the usual interactive elements here too, harking back to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Dora the Explorer, trying to engage audiences with picking the correct option. Of course, these are intentionally easy and just here to keep kids engaged. What’s interesting though, is that the Wonderoos pick the wrong option intentionally. They then rewind time and choose the correct option. This is a nice way reinforcing the message of “learning from your mistakes” is definitely a welcome inclusion.
Aesthetically, there’s an almost Little Big Planet feel to everything and the idea of making the creatures (and, by extension the larger world) made of felt helps to make this one feel unique. As an 80’s kid, it does feel like the show is drawing inspiration from Noddy in the way the characters are shown.
Each of the Wonderoos have their own personality too and it’s likely that the little ones are going to find themselves drawn to individual characters while watching. And aside from the theme song which is going to get a bit repetitive for parents, there’s enough here that adults aren’t going to tear their hair out or reach for the remote in an instant either.
This is a nice little preschool show, with plenty of episodes to chew through and a rather pleasant design. If you’re looking for something new to put on for the kids, this one’s definitely worth trying out.
