Maya & Miguel

I watched about one episode and got bored! I thought "Hmmm, who would watch that? What's the target audience?". It looked cheaply made and has the most annoying theme song ever!!!! Beside all that, the characters are lame, the stories are as boring as hell and jokes are copied from other shows. I have just worked out the idea of it, it is trying to promote multiculturalism because the characters look like they're from Spain, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil or Portugal or somewhere like that. They supposed to speak Spanish. Here is a news flash: I hardly speak any Spanish (French is what I'm good at!) and I can easily watch a day in the life of a Spaniard video other than this. If you want to make a programme aiming to promote multi-culture, try making it a bit more entertaining! It just far too educational, dull and dreary! Anyhow, I feel quite sorry for the production team behind the garbage; this must be a total career killer for them. This show is just another complete and utter television channel switchover. This is my final verdict for this show: "Cette Nulle", that's French for "This sucks!" 3/10

This is an awesome show I just discovered for the first time a few days ago. I've watched the first season/volume on Amazon (via IMDB TV), so far.

I watch a *lot* of chlidren's shows, and this is one of the best, in my opinion. It has five important things:

• Love (characters who care about other people)
• Education
• Entertainment
• Culture
• Morals

It's the most educational children's show I've seen with regard to learning Spanish and English, and culture for that matter. That's not what the show focuses on, but it is a benefit.

The episodes are very creative, and have a lot packed into them (they're not shallow). There's plenty of humor.

The season I watched was clean. There were a few euphemisms in some episodes (like 'gosh' and/or 'heck'), but no foul language.

Maya is very empathetic and loving, and she seeks to help people do what they want to do.

I'm really surprised I hadn't heard people talking about this before now. It's an awesome show (and I personally enjoy watching it). I've purchased a couple seasons, and plan to purchase the rest next month.

The art is great. They capture things I've seen in real life that I haven't seen captured in a cartoon before.

My favorite episode I've watched is the second one.

Maya and Miguel is so unrealistic for a cartoon made to capture the society in a realistic way. Maya's hair bow starts to shine whenever she has an idea. It could work as a visual metaphor similar to the lightbulb that appears when a character has an idea, but in one episode Maya's hair bow can't stop shining until that silly girl can follow her plan. Doesn't make any sense! In another episode a girls loses her cat and the kids ask some guy for help saying "pato" the Spanish word for "duck" instead of "gato" which means "cat". Maya translated it as "a lost cat" but that guy didn't pay attention to the translation, so they ended up with a duck instead. For real? Are you kidding me? If that Mexican kid knows Spanish so well, why would she mistake the words? And why didn't she say it in English from the beginning? And why didn't that man pay attention when he heard the explanation in English?

Every episode is predictable, boring and truly stupid. All the characters are annoying and boring and its a show that lacks any originality and anything interesting. The theme song is irritating and the characters act very dumb in that intro.

This cartoon is leftist and liberal propaganda. It was made to promote multiculturalism to children and fail to do even that. When I was a kid I used to love this show, but after growing up I realised how much time I wasted watching it. I must give this cartoon the lowest score possible.

This is a great show for kids! Heck, I even enjoy it once in a while, and I am an adult! It teaches children introductory Spanish, while also providing a fun story! Maya's crazy ideas always get her into trouble, and her twin, Miguel, while reluctant, is always there beside her helping. But no matter what trouble Maya gets herself into, her heart is always in the right place. She just wants to help people! I'd say the only bad thing about this show is Paco, their annoying talking parrot. This is a fun and harmless show, and I recommend it to anyone with kids. It's educational and entertaining! I'd say it targets an audience from the ages of 6-11. It's kind of the next step from "Dora the explorer." "Maya and Miguel" is great at teaching common Spanish, and I can honestly say I have learned more Spanish from it than I did from my Jr. high Spanish teacher (but too be fair, he didn't really teach us much).

Maya is so annoying barding into people's business in every single episode and never learning her problems after each mistake. I wanna punch her huge head with those little balls on top that magically shock when she gets an idea.

I have to admit that not all the episodes are that bad. There are only a few that actually kind of interest me, but all in all it's stupid. The idea of the show is, Maya gets an idea to fix something or help someone and it all turns out crazy, but it fails to do so. The zany and crazy events are very predictable and uncreative.

I don't like the animation style, the trees are poofy like marshmellows, the buildings are all lopsided and crooked. The characters have huge heads and many of them are shaped like diamonds. I know they did this to create style for the animation, but this show's "style" just didn't work for me.
