    The Best Show Ever!

    This show is great for little kids and maybe some adults because it could give adults ideas for a great day with a little toddler. All the characters are very charming, especially Mr.Wooka, all the things he does to make Nana, Mona and Russell happy! Mona is such a cute green monster (I'm not sure what species she is, judging by her loss of nose, she isn't a human) and Russell is a very intellectual, very human-like dog and Nana is very caring and I'm sure if Mona was real, she would grow up to be a very sensible, smart girl. I'm 12 and I still like this show, especially the 30 minute shows. The creators of this show are pure geniuses, I can't stress that enough! 10/10! :)

    Wicked to the 10th degree

    The most entertaining kids' show I've ever seen. Arthur? Blah. Art Attack?

    Psht. PMK? Who likes repeats?

    Nanalan is where it's at. I'm a semi-mature 19 year-old University student and I find Nanalan to be the best kids show ever, and definitely one of the most entertaining things on television.

    Nanalan will blow your mind. Trust me. If you're looking for Nanalan, I know it's on DVD in a few stores (for buy at HMV, for rent at Roger's Video (maybe)), but I think these are older ones. You can catch Nanalan on the CBC at 10:00am EST for the Toronto and southern Ontario area. I've also read that it's on YTV, but I have no way to confirm this.

    Watch Nanalan; the worst thing that could happen is your demise.

    Very Cute

    My girls 4 and 6 love this show. We stumbled across it on a PBS station and they always ask when its on now. It reminds them of their Grandma that takes care of them everyday in the summer. Its funny too and sometimes they can't stopped talking about one scene or another. I would definitely recommend this show to all young kids. It is very clean and shows you to slow down and its not about watching TV all day long. When Nana reads a story it is slow and she talks about each page with Mona. It reminds me to slow down when I read the next book to my girls at bedtime and talk about the book instead of going through it quickly just to get them to sleep.

    Who's that wonderful guuuurrrlllll

    Where do I begin with "Nanalan'"? Who knew that a show about a young girl visiting her grandmother could warp into a TikTok phenomenon? Welcome to 'Nanalan'', the unintentionally hilarious puppet show that has millennials and Gen Zers losing their minds. Forget high-budget productions; this is where the magic happens.

    First off, the star of the show, Mona. Her adventures at her grandmother's house are nothing short of surreal. One minute she's learning about vegetables, and the next, she's in a psychedelic world of her imagination. And let's not forget Russell - the dog that looks like he's seen things, things no dog should ever see.

    The puppetry is simple but brilliant. The characters' expressions oscillate between hilariously exaggerated and mildly concerning, giving you a never-ending stream of meme-worthy material.

    Now, the plot - or should I say, the wonderfully whimsical lack thereof. Each episode feels like a drug-fueled stream of consciousness. You never know where the story is going, but you're too mesmerised by the vivid colours and bizarre characters to care.

    As an adult, watching "Nanalan'" is an experience. It's like rediscovering a childhood toy and realising it was way weirder than you remembered. And thanks to its resurgence on TikTok, a whole new generation can question their reality just like we did.

    In conclusion, 'Nanalan'' is a masterpiece of unintentional comedy. It's educational, in a way that leaves you questioning what on Earth you just watched, but also wanting more.

    Absolute masterpiece

    I remember waiting to view this as a child, it was cute and fun and enjoyable to watch. Even watching it now the CUTENESS is not annoying, it is just cute.

    • Trivia
      The three minute shorts did not follow a format. Rather than writing a script, a timer was set for three minutes, and all the actions and dialogue between the characters were improvised.
