The show is great over all. Lots of cute and hilarious moments and funny characters. However this show like many coming out in this era seek to make most of the male characters dummies (including Pinecone's father, the king) Homer Simpson-esque. A rather useless man. I have no issues with strong female roles. It's just a shame the creator and writers feel that means the males then must became useless rather than have them be equals.
Another thing to mention, although it's rated G, there are trans characters (or at least purposefully designed androgynous characters) which is just something to be aware of if you planned on having that sort of conversation about sex/gender with your child before they are exposed to that from a cartoon for 5-6 year olds. There's also depictions of single parents as well as gay couples. This is pretty standard in cartoons today but still something to consider when very young kids will be watching this. I feel the goal is clearly to normalize these things to kids before they even have a fighting chance to learn about the basics.
Its just a shame more parents either dont know or dont care that cartoons are being used more and more to preach to kids under the radar. Tv execs want to teach kids complex algebra formulas before theyve had a chance to learn basic addition and subtraction when it comes to these relationship lessons.
Again, its a funny show. But it injects a lot of social and political points if view not every parent may appreciate.
