    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Tumble Leaf' is celebrated for its engaging, visually enchanting, and educational content for young children. The show's gentle pacing and focus on problem-solving are highly appreciated. It seamlessly integrates educational themes, particularly science concepts and everyday objects, in an entertaining manner. The animation and music are often praised for their quality and calming effect. Despite its overwhelmingly positive reception, some critics find it overrated or unsettling, and a few note minor issues with unrealistic elements.

    A masterpiece!

    The tiny details, the art, the story. It's all so beautifully done. The people who work their magic to make this show happen are true artists. I am blown away by it all!

    Perfection

    I'm a very tough critic of children's television. I've been a preschool and kindergarten teacher for over a decade and don't approve of the majority of children's television. This is by far, the absolute best content being produced for children today. Not only is it an incredibly beautiful animation, but each story was very thoughtfully written and produced. The characters cooperate to discover solutions to problems or new ways to play through trial and error. Every episode ends with the words "Go play!" encouraging children to go out and have their own experiences. And the main characters are all voiced by children which I think the young viewers really respond to. The pacing is gentle and age appropriate. I could go on and on, but I'll stop here. It's perfection.

    Great, Educational Cartoon for Kids

    My toddler loves this show! The mini-episodes are only 11 min long. It is far and away his favorite of the few different shows we've tried out. He literally starts laughing as soon as I start up a new episode. Unlike so many other cartoons I've come across with both him and my nieces and nephews, this one is actually (more than) bearable for the adults in the room to watch, as well. It is cute and educational for young kids. It goes over the different names, functions, and properties (shininess, reflectiveness, shape, sound, etc.) of everyday items, and it's a really cute premise. For instance, in one episode Fig (the main character) discovers that round things roll more easily on smooth surfaces, by playing with a round item on different types of surfaces. These are the sort of little details in life that parents get so used to, that we might not think to point them out to our kids. To us, they are just obvious details, but to little kids, everything is a brand new lesson, and Tumble Leaf writers do a great job of going over various items and their properties, as if they are also seeing through the children's' eyes, for the very first time. We've gone through the first season and begun to cycle back through, again, so I'm definitely looking forward to the second season!

    Love it. Rumble Leaf Tumble Leaf

    My 6 year old has been watching since he was 2 and he loves it. My 2 year old loves it as well. Great animation and voice acting.

    Excellent, amazing show!

    For a toddler or preschooler this is probably one of the best shows you can find! This has some serious quality and dedication put into every show and you can really see it. It's so cute that, although perfectly acceptable for the youngest set, I'd actually recommend it for older kids (and kids at heart) too!

    Let me start with the animation. It is stunning! The detail is incredible, the colors vibrant, and there's an unbelievable amount of variation in scene sets. It would have been so easy for the animators to re-use a handful of scenes for each episode, but, except for the opening act, it felt like every adventure was in a new area. In addition to that, in the third season, you can see the animation has expanded to have more movement in the camera angles, panning and shifting the viewpoint through the episodes - it is truly a work of art. And, from a parental perspective, the transitions are slow (meaning you don't flick from a close-up to a distant view, to a different face, and back in the space of two seconds like so many modern shows do). This is better for a child's brain than rapid transitions which can train the brain to expect rapid-fire stimulation.

    For season 1 & 2, each small episode (less than 15 minutes) has a problem to be solved and a solution to be found. As I write this review, there are 3 seasons available, and I want to note that the third season varied the formula somewhat - there might not be a problem that is 'figured out', it may just be a fun adventure. However, the overall focus is on taking a science concept and making it clear to a child. Things like: how does a spring work? Or, how do you make paper? Or what is camouflage? It's educational and a whole lot of unexpected fun! For adults, the solution may be obvious, but for young kids, the discovery may be amazing and the best part is the process of getting to that end point. The answer to the problem is not always discovered on the first try, but the characters keep trying until they figure it out! And sometimes something new and fun is discovered along the way that had nothing to do with the original problem! Science that feels like play!

    So problem solving, science concepts, beautiful animation... with all that praise, why didn't the show get 10 stars from me? Well, it's perhaps a small insignificant detail to most people, but... there are so many made up words. For example, there is a pumpkin- like squash that shows up in a few episodes which is called a 'puffilump'. And many of the solutions to problems are completely unrealistic (like knitting a flight-suit to get something out of a tree). Since my little toddler sponge is absorbing so much about reality, I'm not a fan of too much 'unrealistic' in an otherwise educational show. Again, it's just my own personal preference and others might not find it irritating. Other than that quibble, it's a fantastic show and highly, highly recommended!
