The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

last year when this show aired i was taking care of my little brother at home. dora makes me want to hang myself, blues clues is bearable but only because joe's adorable, and the koala brothers is as annoying as a show can get.watching these shows i managed to find a little diamond in the rough. the wonder pets is an adorable kids show that doesn't try too hard to appeal to children by dumbing itself down (well, not anymore than it has to be for young children.) it manages to teach a moral each episode, usually two (doing it your own way, etc.) aside from teamwork. it doesn't just focus on things being shown then the child repeating the answer (dora, blues clues, diego) but installs morals and values which most shows fail to teach today, and by showing the kids instead of telling them. my brother is autistic and this is the only show he'll watch, and i'm happy to watch it with him. its adorable and ming ming is the cutest and most humorous character on a kids show i have ever seen. go wonder pets!

(Note: This is NOT my review, but rather my younger brother's, because he had wanted to say something about "The Wonder Pets!" However, even if it's not my review, I generally agree with what he's saying.)To start off, I was watching T.V one day, and I accidentally turned to Nick Jr. I was about to flip back, but the show I saw amazed me! It was..."The Wonder Pets!" I like the way they do the same thing each time, but they twist it up a bit. Their traditional celery-eating after they save an animal always changes. They have them freeze-dried, they put soy sauce on them, they have celery pizza, they barbecue them--they even have dino celery at one time! Also, Ming-Ming's trademark "this is sewious" is funny every time, no matter what.My baby brother loves this show. And, it is one of the VERY, VERY few kid shows I can watch. For starters, I don't have to listen to Dora's "Do YOU see my hand?". Also, a lot of animation on kids' shows is annoying. But some of the most annoying things about these kinds of shows, however, were the idiotic inconsistencies. For example, in one episode of "Go, Diego, Go!" our title character was on a bridge, and while the bridge was moving back and forth with Diego struggling to balance himself, out of nowhere, he stops moving, turns his head, and asks, "Do YOU know how to stop the bridge?".Also, those kinds of shows don't last as long in kids. Dora asked my little (not baby) brother "Do YOU see the tree?", and he shouted, "Its right there, you idiot!". I cracked up. Unlike Dora, Wonder Pets will actually stay likable.Their animation is very unique. Indescribable. Also, they teach great lessons. Yes, their main one is teamwork, but they teach different ones on other episodes. Also, I like the way a lot of times they have a trouble putting together their fly boat, or as Ming-ming would say, 'Fry Boat',they solve the problem by using teamwork, and a lot of times, they use that to save the animal (or tree) in need. I won't say anymore. Just see this show for yourself!

I too watch this with my 4 year old. We have fun singing together. The tunes are very catchy. It also teaches to help each other & teamwork. There is also an episode that teaches sharing which most children this age need. There are many times he is humming or singing the theme song when he's playing. He loves this & so will your child. They even give your child some time to think about what they should do... kind of like Dora & Blue's Clues. He doesn't mind watching the episodes over and over. He has almost all of them memorized & they just started!!! I do hope they come up with new episodes & continue being a hit. Like one other review, they teach you to do the right thing first instead of doing the wrong thing and fixing it. This is a quality show to let them watch! It tends to catch my 9 month old's attention too!

Before you turn away thinking I'm a total loon, I must qualify that I am a high school Honors Science teacher, and I have taught everything from PreAP Biology to AP Physics, and everything in between for almost 20 years now. I believe that parents need to watch TV with their kids anyway, to make sure the kids do not watch too much TV, and to make sure that what they watch is appropriate for them. Truly, I have come to the conclusion that "grown-up TV" is just no fun anymore. Up to last year, I was a "CSI" and "West Wing" junkie.....ah well....Now, as for the Wonder Pets:This show is a real breath of fresh air. The show is hard to describe, except to say that every episode is operatic, humorous, and just a little nuts. First of all, this show is completely absurd. Joyfully, beautifully, (perhaps dementedly?) absurd. But it is so cool, and very funny! The Wonder Pets are Lenny, Tuck and Ming-Ming, a guinea pig, a turtle and a duckling, respectively. They lead a double life as classroom pets in an elementary school classroom during the day, but as intrepid animal rescue experts after hours. Every episode has dialogue spoken and sung, just like a middle school operetta, with repeated choruses of what the story and the characters are all about ("What's gonna work? TEAMWORK!") backed up by fully orchestrated music that sounds actually similar to say, a Wagner opera....yes, I did say Wagner. You just have to see it to understand. In fact, make sure you watch at least two full 1/2 hour episodes, because the first time you see this, it will leave you confused. But after you get it, you will, well,.... you'll GET IT! To quote Ming-Ming "This is SEWIOUS!" (Yes, the duckling's trademark line is delivered every episode like an infant Elmer Fudd, but it is just too funny to describe here). The messages of teamwork and looking out for the good of others is presented brilliantly here, not in any form of a preachy way, but in an enthusiastic, comical manner that young children can understand. Unlike other shows about social interaction, this show does not use the worn out technique of making a character do the right thing by making them feel guilty about having done the wrong thing to begin with (for all its good intentions I just can't stand "Franklin"). The Wonder Pets show that they are their brother's keeper in a proactive way. (Hey, that's pretty ironic, their brother's keeper, and they all live in cages in a schoolroom.....but I digress) Well, what can I tell you except that my favorite character is without a doubt Ming-Ming. Don't take my word, see this new gem for yourself. I hope it becomes a long term successful show like it's problem-solving predecessors "Blue's Clues" and "Dora the Explorer" One last word: Ming-Ming RULES! This is SEWIOUS!
