    The poor kids can't spell the title!

    And neither can I! But I'm 32...soon to be 33.

    I saw a few episodes and liked it. I love the leaping lemur's colorful animated sequences and the cartoons of mysterious lumps turning into cute animals! It's such a whimsical "Animal Planet" show for preschoolers where the grown brothers play around with all kinds of critters and run off into adventures with their camping equipment to explore the wilderness. It's a real romp in the vine-covered playroom indeed!

    Heck, I'm 22, and I love it!

    This is a great show. I'm 22, and I watch the show all the time. It teaches a lot to kids and adults...I sure as heck don't know half of the facts they give about various wild animals. The Kratt brothers have an awesome chemistry together, and they're very good on the screen. The lemur, I think it is, is cute, and it works really well also. The show is clearly aimed at children, but for adults, it's a fun way to learn new stuff about all sorts of animals, and because of that, I highly recommend it. 10/10

    Zoboomafoo: An Engaging and Educational Show for Young Nature Lovers

    As someone recently watching Zoboomafoo, I would like to share my thoughts on the show. One of the best things about the show is how it teaches children about animals and their habitats fun and engagingly. The characters on the show are pretty lovable, and using a real lemur as the main character adds a unique touch to the show. The show's focus on conservation and the environment is commendable as well.

    However, there were a few areas of improvement. The show can sometimes feel repetitive, with similar themes and topics explored in different episodes. Additionally, some of the jokes and humor used on the show may be less entertaining for older viewers, although they are sure to delight younger audiences. Despite these minor flaws, I would still recommend Zoboomafoo to parents looking for an educational show their children will enjoy. The engaging and informative content of the show makes it an excellent option for kids interested in nature and animals.

    I love this show

    Although I preferred the clay-mation-less version "Kratt's Creatures", I still love watching this show. Perhaps it's because of the slight crushes I have on the Kratt's brothers, or maybe because of my love for animals, but either way, I get the best of both worlds on this show. I really wish the clay-mations would go though -- that's when I really feel like I'm watching a kids' show, and I kinda don't like being reminded. I still learn things about animals I never knew before, as would most adults watching, so if the cartoons weren't there, it'd probably have a wider audience..... those are just my two cents <:) I especially love the interaction between the brothers and the animals..... it's then that you really can see their passion for nature's creatures.

    Very well made for what it is.

    Oh gosh, I remember this show...I was just thinking about it the other day and now I'm coming across it here. Never made a mental note of the title because I rarely caught it for some reason but when I did I liked it.

    I thought this was a pretty swell piece of edutainment. I still remember a lot of the animal trivia they taught us with its 3 charismatic but playful hosts (two humans and a surprisingly convincing lemur puppet).

    They break up the live action parts with a stop-motion section about the puppet so the episode has variety.

    I haven't seen this for over 10 years but if you want something animal related and informative you can watch with your smaller ones then this one would not be too excruciating. In fact, it's very charming.
