Nanalan'

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.

One day I stayed home from work due to an illness. I was asleep until about 9:30 a.m. and eventually turned the telly on and started surfing the channels. I finally landed on the last 15 minutes of "Nanalan'". I had seen little blips before of Mona's honeydew melon head as I cruised the channels, but this time I thought "Well, I'm getting into illustrating children's stories, so I may as well check this out and see if I can get any ideas from it." Was I glad that I did. Mona was also sick and in bed and "Misser" Wooka had come over with his puppet theatre to give her a little entertainment. I laughed so hard over it that, at least for a few minutes, I actually felt a little better. From then on I tried to catch the prog whenever I could.

The end of the show always comes with a ring of the doorbell. Mona looks at the camera and yells "Mo-o-o-my-y-y-y!!" so sweetly that it just tugs at my heart. When I watch this it reminds me of the summer days that I spent at my grandma's house. When my mom came through the door I pretty much did the same thing as Mona.

Unfortunately "Nanalan'" is always on while I'm at work and doesn't come on again until after my bedtime, so I don't get to view it as often as I would like. :( This is great entertainment for kids and, well, for adults also. The characters and backgrounds scream colour and children can relate to the stories.

My sister and I discovered this show some time back in the early 2000s and couldn't stop laughing it. The voice and face of Mona is hard not to laugh and smile at. I'm a 31 year old man now and I still have appreciation for it. There's something oddly amusing about it. It reminds me of simple happy times as a child. I'm obsessed with it and can't stop watching it. It's probably one of my favorite things out of Nick Jr. And I'm glad to see they're keeping the fan base alive on Instagram. It's not only entertaining for small children but also for adults. The concept is simple yet somehow genius.

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.

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! :)
