Wonder Choux !

I watched a lot of Wonder Pets on Nick Jr and Noggin when I was little, and I still enjoy it to this day and watch it once in a while. I have Linny, Tuck, and Ming Ming plush toys with big heads, big eyes, and small bodies, as well as bobble-headed action figures of all three main characters that came with vehicles and smaller animal figures; Linny has a rowboat and a penguin, Tuck has an airplane and a bluebird, and Ming Ming has a van and a cat.

The animation is very realistic without being hideous or creepy, unlike Dirtgirlworld. I find the characters, especially Ming Ming, to be quite cute, and they resemble real animals to some extent. The only big difference in their design is that the Wonder Pets wear hats and capes, while real animals typically do not.

I heard that Dirtgirlworld is a cartoon that combines animated characters with real-life video footage, but I don't remember where I heard that. The characters' faces are real people's faces edited to look cartoonish, similar to the style of Annoying Orange, which gives them a creepy appearance. Fortunately, I cannot say the same about the characters in Wonder Pets.

I don't know what the art style consists of, but it seems to me that it could be a) CGI, b) animated and edited photos of real animals, or c) paper mâché. Overall, it's a great example of realistic animation done right!

The songs are one of the best aspects of the show, besides the animation. I particularly enjoy the "Phone is ringing" and "What's gonna work? Teamwork" portions of the theme song. These segments often pop into my head when I hear a phone ringing or do a task that requires teamwork, and I consider them the national anthems of these complications. I'm considering changing my cellphone ringtone to the "Phone is ringing" part soon. Interestingly, a few kids in my high school class would sometimes sing the "What's gonna work? Teamwork" part during a partner or group activity.

For many years, I believed that the theme song ("Wonder Pets, Wonder Pets, we're on our way to help a friend and save the day. We're not too big, and we're not too tough, but when we work together, we've got the right stuff. Go Wonder Pets, yay!"), "The Phone is Ringing," "There's an Animal in Trouble," "Linny, Tuck, and Ming Ming Too," and "What's Gonna Work? Teamwork" were five different songs. However, when I listened to the full, album version of the theme song on YouTube earlier this year, I discovered that they are all different segments of the same song.

The segment that opens each episode and is sung by the Wonder Pets when they are on their way to rescue other animals gave me a better understanding of the importance of teamwork (more about that in a little bit). I don't know what else to say about the songs; I'm not the best at analyzing music but not the worst either.

The show effectively tackles the benefits of teamwork. Despite the Wonder Pets' small size, they demonstrate that working together allows them to achieve seemingly impossible tasks; thanks to standing on each other's shoulders, grabbing each other's hands, having different abilities, and using what they learned in the classroom, they can reach high destinations and items that are so high, stop a light hot air balloon from flying by making it heavier, and the list goes on. This helped me realize that collaboration can lead to success, no matter how big or small we might feel. The various scenarios they face illustrate key lessons about seeking help and problem-solving as a group. The theme song says that even if you're not the biggest or strongest, teamwork allows you to tackle challenges and accomplish great things. Watching the characters support each other has deepened my appreciation for community and cooperation in my own life.

This is one of many Nick Jr shows with a formula that repeats episode after episode, but unlike most of the other ones, there's always a twist at the end. The Wonder Pets always celebrate their missions succeeding by eating celery, but they don't always enjoy it in the same way. Sometimes they eat it with peanut butter, other times by itself, or with any other condiment that comes to mind. Just because a show has a predictable formula or never has any twists doesn't mean it sucks, but the twists give the show more originality; otherwise, we'd have too much of a good thing.

There is one thing I don't like about the show. The Wonder Pets sing every 5 seconds (not really, but it sure feels like it). While there are other Nick Jr shows with characters who sing about almost everything they do, the Wonder Pets' singing habits feel particularly exaggerated. That's why I give the show an 8/10. I still appreciate the songs and am not trying to say that the characters shouldn't sing at all. I would enjoy the show more if they toned down their singing habits.

For those of you who don't know, a Wonder Pets reboot will be coming out soon, and Linny, Tuck, and Ming Ming will be replaced with a snake, a bunny, and a different guinea pig for some odd reason. I'm not excited about it, and I won't be watching it unless I hear good things about it. I assume that none of the characters from the original series will return. If that's true, I'm guessing that it will have very little to do with the source material or nothing at all, making it feel more like a standalone show. As Ming Ming would say, "This is sewious!"

Why bother making a reboot if the original main trio won't return? Is a guinea pig, a turtle, and a duck rescuing other animals in distress an outdated concept? I don't think so. Last year, I decided not to watch any more reboots that come out or ones I've never seen, except for ones I hear good things about or look good in the trailers. I'm keeping that promise, and you should do the same if you're tired of "botched reboots" too.

I feel sorry for the kids out there who have seen the awful reboots and not the source materials because they don't know what they're missing. However, there's a possibility that the first episode may be about the original Wonder Pets teaching the new ones how to do their job, similar to the first Blue's Clues and You episode, where Steve and Joe teach Josh how to play Blue's Clues. Who knows?

In conclusion, Wonder Pets holds a special place in my heart as a show that beautifully balances entertainment and valuable lessons about teamwork and cooperation. Its charming characters, memorable songs, and creative animation continue to resonate with me even years later. While I do have some critiques regarding the frequency of the songs, the overall message of collaboration and problem-solving shines through. Ultimately, Wonder Pets remains a delightful reminder of the importance of working together to overcome challenges, making it a cherished part of my childhood.

Now that's better many people claimed that this show got cancelled in 2013 but in reality it got cancelled in march 9th 2016 got taken off the air in 2017 and this show was created by Josh Sellig the guy who made 3rd and bird, Piper o Possum and Small Potatoes.

Wow! This is a really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational show. I said that because I watch this on Nickelodeon and Noggin with my 20-month-old nephew from time to time. It's hard to say which show on Nickelodeon and Noggin is the best. If I had to pick, this would definitely be one of the cutest. Still it's really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that the people at Nickelodeon and Noggin really know how to reach a toddler's developing mind. Now, in conclusion, if you have children, nieces, or nephews, I strongly recommend this really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational show. I guarantee you that they will enjoy it.

When I was younger, I was picky about what I liked, in not just food, but entertainment, and I only watched 3 shows, blues clues, Dora, and wonder pets, and I can whole heartedly tell you that this show both was the least patronizing, it was entertaining, and the animals not just being fully animated and using actual animals blew my mind, and this show holds up to this day!

Now back in the day, they had lots of shows back in my time, Dora the explorer, Blues Clues, the Backyardigans, Team Umizoomi, and a bunch of other I don't need to mention. But when I saw Wonder Pets! I really liked it, the animation with using real picture of animals is genius, the storyline is very epic! Even though I'm not really a musical kinda guy, this is one of the most best shows I have watch. Why did they take it off air? It's really decent, and can teach kids on how team work works, and very educational for kids. I recommend you let your kids to watch this.
