    A colorful series in the historical setting of turn-of-the-century China

    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.

    more asians please

    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.

    An adorable show for children

    A very nice series for children, it teaches good life lessons and the characters are quite charismatic, a pity that it has been canceled, because I feel that it could have given us much more, even so, very nice series. My rating is a 10.

    cute cats living in china

    This show is soooooooooo cute!!! This show is about a siamese kitten growing up in china with her family. The live in a royal palace.Sagwa's best friend is a bat named Fufu. I like this show because it teaches children to respect their elders as well as teaching them about other cultures.

    Pretty good...

    There's only so many ways you can tell the same old moral.

    "Don't kill your parents", "Be yourself" &" Sharing" have all become standards cliches in kids show. It's gone up to the point where kids are becoming smarter and can predict the outcome of the show before it even ends.

    Likewise, I find Sagwa a bit refreshing.It helps introduce younger children to other cultures and traditions - gives them a view of the world outside the box. It also helps talk about different topics, like our relationship with nature and about showing our feelings. Not new topics, but the ones not generally discussed.

    The only thing I hate about this show is that the characters always laugh at the end of an episode. Apparently something ironic mimics the lessons learned and the all laugh... laugh.. laugh... I also think that this show

    will never be as popular as Arthur as Amy Tan hasn't been making enough books as Marc Brown, nor does Sagwa include a greater diversity of characters than Arthur does.

    In short, I find this show refreshing. It's definetly a good start.
