New Epsiode of the Zula Patrol!

The Zula Patrol is saving the universe but not necessarily from villains! In A Star is Born the Zula Patrol is on their way to a party when they meet up with Buck Starburst, protector of the protostars. Buck and the other protostars are afraid of change but the Zula Patrol helps them see that "Trying new things helps us learn and grow!" The Multo Moment at the end recaps the true story behind protostars, the sun and nebulae.

The next story in this episode is called Galactic Star Games and this time it just happens to be Sun's aunt who needs their help. Aunt Dorothy has wanted to be on the Starlight Scramble event's Superstars team ever since she was a starlet but Coach Bruno won't give her a chance because she's too old. The Zula Patrol teaches Coach Bruno that we can all learn something from people with more experience. The Multo Moment focuses on the different types of stars.

I loved that by the end of this half-hour show my three year old could tell me how a star is formed and the four different colors of stars. He might not remember the correct order yet but He knows what the colors mean. Yay! This such a cool cartoon!! This episode premiers May 21st qubo on ION and May 23 qubo on NBC.

My Friend Rabbit

This show is based on the 2002 Caldecott Medal Award winning children's book by Eric Rohmann. I love this cartoon! The characters are sweet and caring and treat each other with respect. A perfect combination for my three year old! The animation is a little diasappointing as it doesn't really stay true to the original illustrations, which is why the book received the Caldecott Medal in the first place. That said, the colors are vibrant and you can't help but love each and every cuddly friend. Jasper the aligator, Hazel the squirrel, the Gibble-Goose girls, Pearl, Amber, Jade and Coral, Thunder the rhino, Edeena the elephant and of course Mouse and Rabbit all have different qualities that help our heroes out of trouble! This half hour show is done in two shorter stories and my son watched every minute. I give this show 5 remotes!

Babar is a cartoon based on the classic children's books by Jean de Brunhoff. The characters are animated in the style of the book illustrations, which adds to the charm of this cartoon. Babar and Celeste's voices are stiff but pleasant enough. Alexander and Pom's voices are on the piercing side, which is where one of my moan factors comes in to play. The music is nicw but it didn't make my boys dance. As I've mentioned before, since we parents have to watch cartoons almost as much as our children, I believe they should be enjoyable or at least tolerable for us as well. Babar does not fiind this balance between making children and parents happy at the same time. While it did make Brody laugh and cheer at points, he wanted to read a book half way through the story. Babar is a half hour show containing one story. The thing I did not like about the show is the interaction between the brothers. I did not feel it was a positive interaction for my three year old to be watching. I give this show 2 remotes. Babar airs on qubo Channel.

The Zula Patrol is great! This is the first show I know of that teaches about astronomy and I love that!! The music is fun and the characters are entertaining. Computer animation isn't my favorite but it completely fits this show. I find the characters to be likeable and that's hard to find as an adult. Ya know, when cartoons are made the producers have to realize that we poor parents have to watch these shows about a million times. So they can at least make it not too annoying for us!! They've done a good job on this one. I would watch this with my son without moaning. My son loves it because it takes place in space and he's really into rockets right now. He loves music and it had him moving! Now, Zula patrol is a half-hour show done in two shorter stories. At the end of the story there is a scientific recap called Multo Moment. This is where the character named Multo, of course, explains just the science. My 3 year old understood it and he could answer all the questions! He's learning about science and he's not even in school yet!!! Woo hoo! I give this show 4 remotes! Zula Patrol airs on qubo Channel.
