Pingu

Lisa R said: Pingu is a claymation series about a penguin boy and his slapstick adventures in the arctic. It's pretty silly and doesn't involve any language, which makes it a win for toddlers. At the same time there are lots of visual jokes for grownups and it shows a wider range of behavior and emotions than typical kids' shows.

Hello Ninja

Amy S. said: Hello Ninja follows the adventures of best friends Wesley and Georgie as they transform into ninjas and move through magical worlds in the name of problem-solving adventure! Although it has enough gentle action to satisfy ninja-curious toddlers, the show is rooted in friendship, responsibility, and critical thinking. It’s beautifully animated, too.
