Let's be realistic.

An absolute waste of money

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This must be some of the worst TV entertainment I have witnessed. Please delete the whole TV-show

It's nicely animated but it's packed full of cheesy clichés, idioms, stereotypes, and exaggerated emotions. The over-the-top positiveness is lame, and I'd rather they didn't try to make the show educational in the way they do. The accents of people from other countries is embarrassing and was reason alone for not letting my son watch it anymore. All in all, pretty awful garbage for your little ones to watch.

At first, this show seemed really good. My son seemed to enjoy it. It was semi-educational and benign. As with many kids shows, after repeated chain-watching of 30+ episodes you get sick of seeing these things (minus Curious George). But I noticed something different; this show's problem is that it uses cultural stereotypes. There is at least one in every episode. It gets old really quick. They go to a bayou and meet a guy who makes gumbo and yells "AIIEEEE", they go to Germany and meet two twins in lederhosen on a tandem bike with ridiculously exaggerated accents, they go to Asia and act like ninjas...it's a bit ridiculous. I get the feeling these Canadians got a little bit tired of people ragging on their accents so they decided to give it back to the world with lame hundred year old cultural views which are misleading to children. Note that I did not say offensive. They didn't try hard enough to get to that level, luckily. They're number 2 after all.

Both my boys I nanny for love this show. We have seen all of the first season at least 3 or 4 times! Can't wait for season 2 to appear on Netflix! Every morning my 3 y.o. asks for this show and we watch a little bit in the morning and a little bit after afternoon nap. It is definitely one way to calm him down and get him to concentrate on one thing. One thing I swore was that I wouldn't let kids watch TV but this show is pretty good. Plus some times you really just need a break. Love all the imaginary play too. And of course we have our favorite episodes. The theme song is nice and not annoying. The show is also not annoying, like many other "learning" shows.
