PJ Masks

Somehow, these kids turn into superheroes at night to fight their classmates who turn into supervillains at night. How do they become these heroes/villains? I don't know. I dont think it's ever been explained. Basically, the same thing happens every episode so it's pretty boring. Still, if this serves as a precursor to getting my kid into real superhero stuff, I guess I can tolerate it. I have to ask, though, where are these kids' parents?!

Take it from a teen fan of this show. It's alright. The writing is good, the animation is good, the background music is surprisingly very good, the voice acting is decent, there's a fair amount of action which is entertaining to watch, and there is a good moral/lesson in almost every episode.

Only real problems are: the police never try to stop the nighttime villains, we don't know why or how the villains became villains, there's no backstory of the PJ Masks' powers, HQ, vehicles, or how they met.

Also the consistency is pretty bad in most episodes. Like one scene there are sticky splats, flags, or holes in the ground and in the very next shot they are gone without any explanation other than the animators are too lazy to be consistent and animate it.

I'm only writing a review because of reading all of these adults bashing this show as if it's for them. It's a cute show. My toddler loves it. He was born over 2 months premature and has struggled with being behind his age in some areas. The main one is speech. This show and a few others have really helped him come out of his shell and talk more. Their nightly adventures are fun and the theme song is catchy. :)

Watching cheap British animation, probably made somewhere in Asia, in the 1990s and early 2000s was somehow justified: any excuse to make low cost entertainment to keep the children enough in front of the screen as to watch the next batch of adverts. But 2015 and the same terrible animation plus an even lower quality script? No, thank you.

My 3-year-old son absolutely loves this show. As a music educator, I see so many levels of excellence: music (writing, musicality), awareness of self and others, teamwork, apologizing, cool costumes, no violence, thinking through a challenge to find a solution, etc. I'm so happy there are shows like this that my son can watch on his own and I don't have to give commentary because I don't like something that's happening on the show. We quote the show often, and my son's favorite character is the Gecko. He even says his little sister is Owlette. Ha! I'm looking forward to all the merchandise to come out. We will certainly be ready to purchase! I'm also looking forward to new episodes since we watch over and over and over... :)
