Aw yes. This is better late than never. This is a show that aired on the gold ol' Nick Jr., and while I used to find this program really enjoyable out there when I was in the age range, going by their history now, I can say that a bunch of their shows can be AWFUL. A lot of them are rife with plain and dimwitted characters, unimaginably lackluster songs, and an overall obvious childish and unrealistic style to the writing which NEVER makes any common sense AT ALL! But, when you see reviews for this one, you can see right away that there are better things heard here compared to a lot of their other shows. And some of those are what can be said from me during this review, since, in my opinion, this is actually 1 of the more enjoyable and passable shows that the network gave out. Here are reasons why I feel this way:

To start off, the characters here, for the most part, are written FAR BETTER than in shows like Dora the Explorer, or Team Umizoomi. Aside from the occasional hiccup with SOME characters on the show, like the kids, which can be quite prone to an extent to irking at times (thought this isn't all the time; when they aren't like this, there as mentally stable as kids in real life are), most of the characters here are actually pretty functional and stable, and can jump off each other decently well, and most can actually be genuinely likeable, which is more than what can be said from characters from other franchises like Steve from Blues Clues or Dora from Dora the Explorer. Some characters even have good development, like how the Wise Old Elf began to hate magic, the backstory of what the twins did to their school teacher, etc. And with that also tying into the plots of episodes, let's get into that about now.

The show's plot style and comedy is mostly alright. Unlike many shows like Team Umizoomi, thd plots actually delve into more depth around the show's world like the above mentioned back stories around the characters and world, their more organized and more crafted in, they either write over-the-top the way it should be to not push it, or they are written as down-to-earth as they could possibly be, and they are not repetitive and and the writing actually varies in style, in some formulas like other successful shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, Family Guy, or iCarly. Their not something that would totally blow me off guard or anything like that, but hey, a story around a family trying to have their picnic for once without any yearly chaos happening to them is definitely something I would over something like freaking heading to an area of the world freaking made of ice cream, called "Coney Island", just to get ice cream or literally JUST a character trying to eat something super basic as heck. The comedy here is very occasional, and yes, this appears to be a show that usually takes a route of sticking strictly to storytelling, but the jokes that do appear are passable and sometimes I can give a little chuckle or a smile.

And the overall tone, is, for the love of God, not very childish or over the top! It instead keeps everything humble and down-to-earth for some and tries to find ways to play it's fantasy nature without going overly unrealistic. I know you might say the this show is unrealistic, because it is in a world with fairies and magic, and yes, that is true, but there are differences between how unrealism is dealt here than how it is dealt with in plenty of other Nick Jr. Shows, like Dora the Explorer; The key differences are that, most of all, this is 100% purely something to completely build the show's setting structure, which is something rampant throughout television, and thus this is something extremely natural to happen, and how it is dealt here is done is moderate doses; it is, again, never over-excerted (1 example is that the setting is way more valued to most and it is a more consistent and basic style, like fairytale), and it is mainly done in the safer areas of it's kind, like, again playing it to showcase the show's setting structure, and this it is only shown with stuff like what a character does, the actions they do, and the setting, oh and whenever you see something like a talking book, that is more justified because, again, magic is a natural setting for story telling, this that is a more magic induced book. With freaking Dora, however, all it does is over-exaggerate the elements to being on levels that are FAR beyond words, like the Swiper No Swiping gimmick, the kiddish/overly-convenient areas around their world, the items and creatures that speak with NO explanations whatsoever, etc. Also, a lot of these 360s are merely just to advance the plot and comedy of an episode and not to play in consistency with the atmosphere of the world of the show, unlike B&H, thus the childish natures are way more noticeable and can be way more jarring. A lot of the other aspects of this show also range from simply okay at worst to pretty good at best as well, like the pacing of tons of episodes are decent or good, the animation is alright, the voice acting is good, etc.

Overall: This show is pretty much 1 of the more tolerable and decent things on Nick Jr., and, even if their is a hiccup every now and then, there is not too many horrible things about this show. I would say it's a good cartoon, but maybe by only a hair or 2. It's not amazing by any means, and there is no real hurry to see this show, but hey, if your fed up with all of the crud on the Nick Jr. Network or any other little kid network like me, your are likely going to really enjoy it, maybe even consider it as your #1 favorite cartoon of all time, and I do know that there are some who say it's a miss or a hit. With me, it is a hit, but not right out of the capital. So yeah, I think my overall rating would likely be a pretty weak scale of the 7/10 rating, pretty close to a 6.9/10.

Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom is a children's show created by the same people who made Peppa Pig. It is directed to children aged slightly older than those who watch Peppa Pig, but it can be enjoyed by children of all ages.

It is a really cute show that has that little hint of quirky humour that adults will get, which keeps us interested if we're stuck watching it! It's a sweet, simple show with lots of fun adventures involved.

My 4 year old thinks it's a fantastic show. In my opinion the show is much more interesting, less annoying, and funnier than Peppa Pig, and is in my list of favourite shows to watch with the kids!

I have blue and gold McCaw who loves cartoons. I can't say I like many of them but this is one show I truly enjoy. Nanny Plum is the character who makes the show so enjoyable for adults with her dry humor and sarcastic remarks.

This is one of the rare programs that children and adults alike can enjoy. It's fresh, sweet-natured, funny, and spectacularly creative. Nanny Plum is one of the great cartoon characters - in the same sphere as Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny.

I love this show. Definitely an improvement from peppa pig. The stories aren't boring, the animation is better, it's creative! Definitely recommend it

I am not one of those people who complains about "themes" in kids shows and I often get angry at people who see themes where there are none and while I'll admit my kids love this show and I laugh with them the 'elves are there to serve the fairies is quite a strange theme. I know the fairies are often portrayed as a bit helpless without their wands and the king in particular is a buffoon but the elves seem to be tugging their forelocks and are only too happy to inconvenience themselves for their fairy masters.

As I say it is funny, the kids will love it, you'll probably laugh too but that theme spoils it for me just a tad.

I am not the target audience but I know what to look for in kids shows and have some thoughts on this. Though this show is loads better in terms of the humor and characters presented in Peppa pig, there are a lot more innapropriate and downright crude things in it.

There is a part in the show where Holly's little sisters, Daisy and Poppy, make their mother, Queen Thistle, disappear. The characters then make a remark as to how the queen disappeared and left her crown and...panties. I don't know if that's necessary or that kids really needed to know about that. They kept repeating it too. I'm sure it's supposed to be funny but my little brother, who is 5, started saying "panties?" And I was really not comfortable with that.

This show also says bullying is okay. The kids were going to ride some snails which are shown as being really cool and fun and there's a slug named Samson who's portrayed as slimy and green and sad. As soon the the snail trainer shows kids the slug, the kids say "eww" very loudly and Samson begins to cry. The trainer then says "I have no idea why nobody wants to pick you." And nothing else and I felt really bad for him. They then take the snails out to ride and poor Samson follows them to feel accepted and make some friends because nobody picked him. One of the kids says to the trainer that Samson the slug is following them and the trainer immediately takes him back while he cries. The trainer says something about how he's never allowed to follow them because he's not a snail. There's no more mentioning the slug after that and he's just left sad. You'd think they'd resolve that and make him be accepted but that's it. That really didn't sit right with me. Moreover, it looked to me like the writers were rushing through and forgot that they put Samson in there.

The show also shows cheating is okay when nanny plum uses magic to make Ben elf win in a competition and when nanny copies the wise old elf's ship design when trying to impress the Marigolds, another royal family and it turns out to be okay in the end. The fairies are also shown to be superior than the elves when they should be equal. I like the humor pointed towards the fairies being lazy and not being able to do anything without using magic, but the fairies and elves should be equal by them not hating the others ways.

They should also not make a ladybug bark as that's completely inaccurate.

I love some of the humor directed at adults just like in Peppa pig but they really should be aware of what kind of content that humor brings about. They really need to have someone check some of their episodes over so that's it's fun for adults and for kids and so that kids are not left wondering why a queen wears panties and what panties are and instead, worry about making friends and knowing your self and learning valuable life lessons that some parents may have missed or emphasize the ones they have already taught.

So entertaining for kids and parents. Nanny Plum is my hero haha

I have lost count the number of times I have seen the entire series. My daughter is obsessed. This is one of the few kids shows I can tolerate

My 4 year old daughter just loved it ... even I also love watching this series.

I was floored to hear one of the elves say "Now that's an idea, a very stupid idea". Don't get me wrong, it could be much worse...but as a former Preschool teacher that phrase is a complete nightmare! The show aired on Nick jr and we won't be watching that channel either! I recorded the clip and have yet to hearan explanation!

Nanny Plum and Wise Old Elf alone make this show worthy of having to sit through as an adult. Same makers as Peppa and similar animation, but the writing is definitely geared towards older kids with adults thrown in just for the adults. I find myself laughing at least once every episode. You can do much much worse when it comes to kids shows.

My little one loves this prog and the earlier episodes were funny even for adults - I think they ran out or ideas too soon unfortunately as the later ones are a bit rubbish! But my kid likes to watch them on repeat anyway :)

This is such an goood show, i love it. So does my dad, he hides it but i know his true intentions. I think he has a crush on ben, i know i do. The animation and storylines of this show are incomparable i've never seen one like it. Holly is a terrible role model but i like ben he has a funny nose. My least favourite thing is the time, each episode is soooooo short

make them longer >:(. I recommend this show for everyone all ages all heights and allll levels of intelligence . I do warn you though, it's veerrrry addictive. Mmmm i just wants to eat them i love them sooooo much. Have fun with your viewing or i will find you and 🔫. Goodbye :))). P.s once i tried to ride a ladybug because i thought it was gaston. Hahahaha my 20th birthday party was such a blast.

I love this show... make me and the kids laugh. very subtle humour and kids love it.

This cartoon is about elves and fairies going on adventures, they are very small and like to be kept unknown to humans. Our main characters, Ben, Holly and Gaston go on adventures with their friends and families.

The stories, unlike its sister show, Peppa pig, are actually really good, some have decent action in them, others can get a few laughs out of anyone, the composing of music is pretty good. It is a fun cartoon for all the families

Now, there aren't really many downfalls except for one which I think you would've expected and that's with what Nanny Plum says. She says something along the lines of 'That's an idea, a very stupid one'. Now it may not sound so bad until you realise this show is aimed for kids under 6. For me, I find this quite funny to here language like this in a show for pre-schoolers, but to parents, it may seem abit risque to them. She doesn't say it that often, only about 3-4 times in the entire series but I do recommend you check this show to see if you are okay with them saying 'profanities' like 'Stupid' infront of your 6 year old.

Overall, I do recommend this show to anyone really, just keep an eye out on some minor flaws and you will be good to go.

Love this more than Peppa Pig. Wish there were new episodes on the horizon.

Pretty looking. Needlessly perpetuates some pretty awful morals. As a primary school teacher I stumbled across this on Channel 5's Milkshake. I would never play this in school, in the one episode I saw it perpetuated some pretty terrible gender stereotypes, the impression you should always worry what your hair looks like, and that a male king can just trick a dumb witch into doing whatever he wants, while putting the king on the pedestal at the end of the story. The child asks "why did you lie?" And he replies something along the lines of a sarcastic well sometimes you need to. The programme creators clearly don't have a good sense of values themselves. Some people don't seem to mind, but knowing how children pick up on these things I find it really crass and irresponsible. You can be just as fun, playful and poke fun without needing to be so crass.

Childeren not nessesarily understand the humor but is is funny as well as sophisticated

In some reviews for "Peppa Pig" from some users who gave a rating of 1 or 2 wrote that it is better to watch "Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom".

Here are also a few users who gave "Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom" very high marks, some wrote that it is better than Peppa Pig, but really neither this cartoon is cool nor this one. The characters in these productions are not interesting at all and nothing interesting happens. I recommend watching a short review from "Grobir Reviewer" on YouTube for this cartoon, which lasts 3 minutes. So briefly and to the point. So briefly and to the point. So briefly and to the point! Search on Youtube movie in title: "Grobir reviewer EN - Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom".

There seem to be a few people who find this show problematic which takes a significant reading of subtext that realistically just isn't there.

It's the best of the genre that is toddler TV. Fun, colourful, cute and in places just silly. Plenty of hidden jokes for Adults. The comparisons with Peppa Pig are entirely fair as a significant number of voice actor are in both but this is a definite step up in storytelling and vastly less irritating.
