Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat

So i remember being obsessed with this show years ago, in fact, so obsessed i have made a series of powerpoints praising her by portraying her as the dictator and leader of her own powerful nation named after herself. But that's not what i'm here for. Anyways, This show became the divine part of me, I don't remember most of the show now but i'm pretty much getting back into it, I don't know why this show doesn't come on TV anymore but oh my god, that cat was pretty much my idol, This was until i shook it off years later (and i'm glad) because of life problems. I think Sagwa could've gotten more episodes if it weren't for those who cancelled it. In all reality, this show was a core divine part of me, 10/10 still good up to this day.. Oh, and Don't Forget Your Umbrella.

As a cat lover, I love this show. It's so cute, with beautiful colors in the backgrounds, interesting characters, and great short stories that teach valuable lessons in the historical setting of turn-of-the-century China. I do love shows and movies that are set in Asia (China, Japan, and India too), like "The Last Samurai," starring Tom Cruise and set in Japan. And I also love Chinese films like "The Young Avengeress" from 1969.

Sagwa, her best friend Fu-Fu the funny bat, and Sagwa's younger sister Sheegwa are my favourite characters from the show. As for characters I hate, I hate Tai-Tai for being a social climber and the way she has her husband wrapped around her finger; I hate hen-peckers. So anyway, that is all I have to say about this cartoon series: that I really love it.

i appreciate that sesame workshop is trying to show diverse cultures... but i just wish that more of the cast was actually chinese, or at least asian. i just think that it's strange that the characters are chinese, but the voices aren't. sometimes the characters use chinese phrases, and i feel like some of the voice actors don't really have mastery over the chinese language; so they don't have a realistic accent.

overall it's good show, and it's really fun for the kids. i know sesame workshop is doing the best it can to provide quality shows.

As the year come passing by, This show isn't bad anymore. What I previously see as problems are actually leading to good morals and not the otherway around.

I wouldn't go as far as calling it a perfect show. As they are some minor things keeping it from being in that level. Certain episodes and characters are some but most of it's serviceable.

PBS usually knows what to do when making quality shows and this is proof that. The cancellation of the show is the most depressing cancellation that any show could have. Pity, cause it had potential to last longer than it did. Also the merchandise is so hard to come by to the point that they go for a crazy amount just to own them.

This show is so cute that it's actually a little hard to describe. The show is about a Siamese kitten growing up in imperial China with her family and friends. In addition to Sagwa and her parents, there's also her brother and sister Dongwa and Sheegwa, their grandfather, and Sagwa's best friend Fufu (a bat). The cats are all under the care of the Foolish Magistrate, so made because of his tendency toward making rules that make absolutely no sense but still has a heart of gold. One thing that I really like is the theme song, which is where I got the title for my review. That song is quite lovely and sometimes I catch myself humming along to it. Adding to the theme song, cute characters, and cute story lines are some really great lessons and morals. Not only does it introduce Chinese language and culture but also some excellent moral lessons such as making appropriate choices, acting honourably, respecting elders, and looking after the good of a whole.
