Nanalan'

I remember waiting to view this as a child, it was cute and fun and enjoyable to watch. Even watching it now the CUTENESS is not annoying, it is just cute.

Where do I begin with "Nanalan'"? Who knew that a show about a young girl visiting her grandmother could warp into a TikTok phenomenon? Welcome to 'Nanalan'', the unintentionally hilarious puppet show that has millennials and Gen Zers losing their minds. Forget high-budget productions; this is where the magic happens.

First off, the star of the show, Mona. Her adventures at her grandmother's house are nothing short of surreal. One minute she's learning about vegetables, and the next, she's in a psychedelic world of her imagination. And let's not forget Russell - the dog that looks like he's seen things, things no dog should ever see.

The puppetry is simple but brilliant. The characters' expressions oscillate between hilariously exaggerated and mildly concerning, giving you a never-ending stream of meme-worthy material.

Now, the plot - or should I say, the wonderfully whimsical lack thereof. Each episode feels like a drug-fueled stream of consciousness. You never know where the story is going, but you're too mesmerised by the vivid colours and bizarre characters to care.

As an adult, watching "Nanalan'" is an experience. It's like rediscovering a childhood toy and realising it was way weirder than you remembered. And thanks to its resurgence on TikTok, a whole new generation can question their reality just like we did.

In conclusion, 'Nanalan'' is a masterpiece of unintentional comedy. It's educational, in a way that leaves you questioning what on Earth you just watched, but also wanting more.

I am a 35 year old, single, no offspring (yet!) student who is studying Forensic Anthropology. A few days ago a colleague asked what was one of my favorite TV show. I'm sure my he wasn't sure of my intellectual status when I quickly responded with "Nanalan".

This show teaches the wonders of simplicity.

I can't get enough of dog Russell and cat Alice (who makes a few cameos), nor the relationship between Nana and Mr. Wooka. Although I am sure that it flies right over the heads of the shows primary viewers, one can't help but notice the subtle flirting that happens between these two characters.

I am always disappointed when I hear the doorbell, indicating that "Mommy" has come to pick up Mona, and that the show has come to an end.

What talent those that have created this show have!

We stumbled across this show one Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m. while flipping through all of the cable channels and this turned out to be best show on! It is absolutely adorable. We need shows like this for children (and adults, as I'm certainly way beyond my childhood years.) As one of the other commentaries pointed out, this show benefits from the simplicity of the characters and story lines. The puppets are fantastically cute, the backgrounds are colorful and even though they are created out of cardboard, foam, paint, and pure imagination, they remind us of our own childhoods, when we could spend the day at our own grandma's house, exploring the world around us. For those who never were lucky to have a grandma as nice as Nana, this show is for you, you'll make up for lost time! This show is a true inspiration and filled with cleverness and humor and just outright fun, for children and adults alike. In other words, don't overlook this show, just because you're over the age of three! Spend a half hour with Mona, Nana, Mr. Wooka, and Russell, they'll be friends you look forward to seeing!

The most entertaining kids' show I've ever seen. Arthur? Blah. Art Attack?

Psht. PMK? Who likes repeats?

Nanalan is where it's at. I'm a semi-mature 19 year-old University student and I find Nanalan to be the best kids show ever, and definitely one of the most entertaining things on television.

Nanalan will blow your mind. Trust me. If you're looking for Nanalan, I know it's on DVD in a few stores (for buy at HMV, for rent at Roger's Video (maybe)), but I think these are older ones. You can catch Nanalan on the CBC at 10:00am EST for the Toronto and southern Ontario area. I've also read that it's on YTV, but I have no way to confirm this.

Watch Nanalan; the worst thing that could happen is your demise.
