Sereno - O Panda Zen

Beautifully rendered stories. Good for kids and adults.

Beautiful lessons, beautiful animation, such a thoughtful and aspirational show. Please make more!!!!

Watch this on repeat with my 3 year old, we don't watch much tv but the pacing and visuals are appropriate for him and our family.

I have to be honest. I have watched this show all on my own without any kids. Each episode is split into two stories. Each story features the (stunningly animated) kids and the wise teaching panda Stillwater. A kid runs into an issue, and Stillwater teaches a lesson using a tale featuring animal characters. Always a great life lesson for anyone. Absolutley love this show. Wow. Amazing.

If you have young kids this is one of the best shows out there. It teaches valuable lessons, not about words or math like some shows, but about life. And I imagine if I was a kid, I'd love the big fluffy panda.

If you don't have kids and are bored enough to read this review, I'd recommend watching the first half of the first episode (each made of two 15 minute episodes) to appreciate this for what it is.

I can't imagine how this dazzling and delightful show could possibly be improved upon, except to have many more episodes to revel in! Not only is it incredibly beautiful to look at, the gentle and loving episodes each share a life lesson but you never feel preached at. Three siblings, Addy age about 11, Michael age about 8, and Carl age about 4 live next door to a giant panda named Stillwater who has a stunning Japanese garden with koi in a stream, trees in bloom and bamboo shoots growing. He is one of the kids' best friend. We don't see any adults and the stories/lessons Stillwater shares are inhabited by anthropomorphic animals. The colors are bright and cheerful and stories so positive. Please don't miss it!
