Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

jlnajera I was watching TV with my niece when this program came on Noggin. I have watched more episodes since, and I have to say, this is one of my favorite children's programs ever.In a cartoon world full of out-of-control, spit-nonsense, ADHD cartoon characters who talk fast and make zany gestures, but contain no substance...this cartoon is a breath of fresh air. It contains great music (Little Einsteins doesn't have anything when it comes to this show!), and a spirited message of teamwork.It moves slow enough to keep young kids in the loop, and fast enough to keep adults entertained. Finally, a kid's show I can watch with my niece and not groan when it comes on (i.e. Barney, who has used the same songs since I was young enough to watch it some 17 years ago...)

panicatthewisco last year when this show aired i was taking care of my little brother at home. dora makes me want to hang myself, blues clues is bearable but only because joe's adorable, and the koala brothers is as annoying as a show can get.watching these shows i managed to find a little diamond in the rough. the wonder pets is an adorable kids show that doesn't try too hard to appeal to children by dumbing itself down (well, not anymore than it has to be for young children.) it manages to teach a moral each episode, usually two (doing it your own way, etc.) aside from teamwork. it doesn't just focus on things being shown then the child repeating the answer (dora, blues clues, diego) but installs morals and values which most shows fail to teach today, and by showing the kids instead of telling them. my brother is autistic and this is the only show he'll watch, and i'm happy to watch it with him. its adorable and ming ming is the cutest and most humorous character on a kids show i have ever seen. go wonder pets!

kmurray230 It's been years since I've watched Nick Jr or any of the PBS morning shows...my youngest is now 13 and it's been a long while since Rugrats or Barney held his attention! But last week I was holding my new granddaughter (Ruby) and flipping through the channels (she's only 8 weeks old but I was curious about how children's television might have changed). I tried watching Sesame Street but found that what my daughter and son-in-law said is true...it's really gone downhill. I checked out Nick Jr and discovered Wonder Pets--and what a surprise! The animation is great, the message is solid, the learning is offered in a fun, heart-filled way, and the music is terrific! I saw one NYTimes article that said the music for Wonder Pets is recorded with a live orchestra, so you don't get that canned, tinny condescending sound so many children's shows have. Congratulations to the makers of Wonder Pets. This is a fine work. I hope you're around for a long time!

kibblesthepig So the other morning I stumbled on the greatest kids show ever! Well, at least since Muppet Babies was taken off the air. Total, utter insanity titled... Wonder Pets. Now, I love guinea pigs, I have one tattooed on my arm, have 4 of my own,well,the leader of the wonder pets is none other than a Guinea Pig named Linny. Linny who sports a little baseball hat and cape hangs with a turtle who wears a Mary Tyler Moore style hat and water shoes named Tuck, and a stupid duck who can't pronounce her R's named Ming Ming and save baby animals and the occasional tree using repetitive songs and teamwork. The first time I stumbled on this mini opera masterpiece the wonder pets taught a baby swan how to dance,(why oh why did a swan need to dance?) and then rescued a puppy by letting him out the doggy door and singing a song about "Pee pee, wee wee and tinkle". Other adventures included saving a baby chimp from space, a cow stuck in a tree after a twister hit and Stegasaurus in a book (what are they Gumby now?) caught in a rock cave. It's cute, they teach kids little facts on each adventure, like when they went to Venice to save a cat in the canal, or that elephants live in Africa. And getting back to the repetitive songs (and kids freaking LOVE music no matter how lame the lyrics), sadly the other day at work I found myself humming their "What's gonna work? TEAMWORK" song, although their "The phone, the phone is ringing" opener tune is quite catchy also. Oh and the animation(?) is awesome. Its like a real picture turned into a cartoon or something. It just looks so cool, especially compared to the ugly animation of some kids shows (Dora I'm talking to you big head). Anyway so if you have preschool kids (it teaches that teamwork is where its at, that turtles like hugs, and while Guinea pigs, dolphins and skunks can talk, dogs cannot), or if you're a 22 yr old with an odd sense of humor (who doesn't even have kids and can quote Nightmare on Elm Street movies) this show is a MUST SEE. It's just too nutty and adorable to pass up. I can't wait for this thing to take off and crush that fat loser Dora...Goooo Wonder Pets!
