CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
zsofikam The Wonder Pets consist of Linny, Tuck, and Ming-Ming, a guinea pig, turtle, and duckling respectively, who lead a double life as classroom pets and animal rescuers after school gets out. I have to disagree with the negative reviewers who's main criticisms seem to be that it's not educational and Ming-Ming's speech impediment. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time I've had to defend a children's show and I doubt it will be the last. With regards to the second complaint, Ming-Ming talks like that not because it's supposed to be "cute" but because the voice actress has a speech impediment. Besides, many preschoolers don't speak properly so it's relatable to them. Also, what exactly do you mean when you say "educational", because it depends on if you mean academically educational (letters, shapes, etc) or morally educational (things like friendship). If you mean the former, TV doesn't have to be a learning experience. If a show is educational that's nice but I seriously doubt that the inventors of television held a convention and said "and it must be educational". Also, I'd argue that it is educational in that sense because it teaches about various animals. If you mean the latter, then I'd say it certainly is. It discusses teamwork, sharing, problem solving, looking out for each other, and the importance of asking for help (there's even an episode about potty-training). Plus, how can you resist this show? The Wonder Pets themselves are so cute and adorable and the animals they help are also very sweet. I also really enjoy the songs like "what's gonna work, teamwork", which kind of reminds me of Bob the Builder (in a good way). Unlike some people, I also like the way Ming-Ming says "this is sewious". One of the greatest kiddie shows out there and one that everyone should see at some point. Even a friend of mine, who's my age, likes it and sometimes we even watch it together.
panicatthewisco 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!
mellynpar 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!
kibblesthepig So the other morning I stumbled on the greatest kids show ever! Well, at least since Muppet Babies was taken off the air. Total, utter insanity titled... Wonder Pets. Now, I love guinea pigs, I have one tattooed on my arm, have 4 of my own,well,the leader of the wonder pets is none other than a Guinea Pig named Linny. Linny who sports a little baseball hat and cape hangs with a turtle who wears a Mary Tyler Moore style hat and water shoes named Tuck, and a stupid duck who can't pronounce her R's named Ming Ming and save baby animals and the occasional tree using repetitive songs and teamwork. The first time I stumbled on this mini opera masterpiece the wonder pets taught a baby swan how to dance,(why oh why did a swan need to dance?) and then rescued a puppy by letting him out the doggy door and singing a song about "Pee pee, wee wee and tinkle". Other adventures included saving a baby chimp from space, a cow stuck in a tree after a twister hit and Stegasaurus in a book (what are they Gumby now?) caught in a rock cave. It's cute, they teach kids little facts on each adventure, like when they went to Venice to save a cat in the canal, or that elephants live in Africa. And getting back to the repetitive songs (and kids freaking LOVE music no matter how lame the lyrics), sadly the other day at work I found myself humming their "What's gonna work? TEAMWORK" song, although their "The phone, the phone is ringing" opener tune is quite catchy also. Oh and the animation(?) is awesome. Its like a real picture turned into a cartoon or something. It just looks so cool, especially compared to the ugly animation of some kids shows (Dora I'm talking to you big head). Anyway so if you have preschool kids (it teaches that teamwork is where its at, that turtles like hugs, and while Guinea pigs, dolphins and skunks can talk, dogs cannot), or if you're a 22 yr old with an odd sense of humor (who doesn't even have kids and can quote Nightmare on Elm Street movies) this show is a MUST SEE. It's just too nutty and adorable to pass up. I can't wait for this thing to take off and crush that fat loser Dora...Goooo Wonder Pets!
