Puffin Rock

Netflix is getting more and more series and films that appeal to all ages and audiences. I stumbled on this series while looking for something new to watch. I know it is for very young children and I (usually, but not always) prefer adult-oriented series like "Trailer Park Boys" and "BoJack Horseman". Matter of factually, nobody can resist puffins, the adorable clowns of the Northern seas. The series focuses on two baby puffins and their lives with on an island. The animation is flash, but it has a storybook look and aesthetic, that reminds me of the artwork of Mary Blair and Charley Harper. Not only is the animation and characters just adorable, but you also learn about puffins, their lives, and habitats. It cleverly mixes facts about puffins and other animals with simple storytelling, that makes the series very enjoyable for anyone!

The most charming animation series I've ever seen on Netflix comes from the animators of "The Secret of Kells" and "The Song of the Sea." It is also the first series I've ever seen on Netflix. This series follows two young Atlantic puffins, Oona and her younger brother Baba, as they embark on several adventures on their island home on the Irish coast with their animal pals on land and water.

I'm afraid there is nothing else to say about this series other than that I love little Baba's "Baba-WOO!" So anyway, I found the animation beautiful and the story lighthearted. Overall, I really love this cartoon series.

This is by far the best kids cartoon I've seen for its intended age group. There are no loud noises or overwhelming bright colors. All the characters are likable and not annoying or obnoxious like so many cartoon characters. The animation is a nice change from the usual CGI and very soft and pretty. The music is charming and peaceful. And what's not to love about puffins and other cute furry creatures? As you know kids like to watch the same cartoons over and over and over, but with this one I don't mind having it on repeat at all. I actually enjoy watching this program with my kids as opposed to just tolerating it.

I'm not big on reviews, but I want to let Netflix know how great this show is and that we can't wait for a new season (for real, please!). The animation is beautiful, the message is moral, the premise is quasi educational. Compared to so much bright junk out there for kids, with no message or bad ones to boot, Puffin Rock is a show that I am confident in letting my child watch and enjoy. The music is very catchy and my daughter is always asking me to "sing Oona's song daddy" which is fun and short. The way they do episodes is also great for younger kids since they are 3 mini episodes in each 20 min episode. Come and play!

Keep it coming please!

We love this show. My 3yo is obsessed with watching Una and the gang. He doesn't want to watch anything else lately, and is sad that there are only two seasons. Great work on the animation, the plots are teachable, content is fun and amazingly addicting, and characters become part of your family!
