DreamWorks doesn't dabble into preschool too often. I believe this is their first preschool show (correct me if I'm wrong). However, for them just starting out, this show made the landing.
Animation and Art Style: Easily the best aspect of the show. The animation is extremely beautiful, I could stare at it forever. The art style is adorable and each character has a distinct design.
Characters: Daisy and Cole are cute, though they have the same personality which is an issue when it comes to preschool shows. However the side characters really stand out. They're inspired by nursery rhymes, and the show puts a unique spin on them. For example, Mary from "Mary Mary Quite Contrary" is a rather snarky hedgehog. In one episode a lamb follows her around, alluding to "Mary Had A Little Lamb." Despite having an infamous fall, Humpty Dumpty is a daredevil who loves trying new things (and who has an overprotective mom). Jack and Jill are inventors in this version. It's good stuff.
Writing: Despite being based on nursery rhymes, the writing isn't as babyish as I expected. There are clever comments made by Mary, and the show seamlessly blends the nursery rhymes together to make a nursery rhyme universe of sorts. Plus as I mentioned above, the characters are, for the most part, well written.
Music: The Music is folk-inspired and quite catchy. It puts a new spin on beloved classic nursery rhymes and features original songs too.
Enjoyment: If you have a kid who loves nursery rhyme inspired shows such as the Mother Goose Club and Goldie & Bear, this show is just right for them. It's a lot better than I expected and it's a cute, fun show if you want to turn your brain off.
