The Wingfeather Saga
Though perhaps too intense for the youngest of viewers, Angel Studios’ Wingfeather Saga offers a strong story beautifully told.
What sort of career would you have if you were 8 inches tall, lived in a tree stump and loved to cook? Well, perhaps you’d become the host of a children’s cooking show.
Tiny Chef and his assistant, Olly the Can of Olives, believe that all children should learn how to cook. And while life in Tiny Chef’s tiny kitchen can sometimes be unpredictable, he always manages to find a solution, teaching kids to believe in themselves, be honest with their friends, and, of course, enjoy cooking.
Parents may want to know that while Tiny Chef has some nice things to say, he also has a strong speech impediment that can make it very difficult to understand him. And drag queen RuPaul narrates Tiny Chef’s TV show.
So while this is a mostly nice TV-Y show, parents should still evaluate if it’s right for their own tiny chefs.
Tiny Chef doubts his ability to flip pancakes without his lucky spatula. Then he must overcome his fear of the dark to share some s’mores at a campfire.
Emily studied film and writing when she was in college. And when she isn’t being way too competitive while playing board games, she enjoys food, sleep, and geeking out with her husband indulging in their “nerdoms,” which is the collective fan cultures of everything they love, such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate and Lord of the Rings.
Though perhaps too intense for the youngest of viewers, Angel Studios’ Wingfeather Saga offers a strong story beautifully told.
‘The Mighty Nein’ feels darker and a bit more lugubrious than its forebear, ‘The Legend of Vox Machina.’ And it comes with mighty problems.
The crudities in A Man on the Inside probably won’t make your sky fall, but to say you should ignore them would force me to tell true lies.
In Netflix’s Koati, four young friends go on adventures and learn valuable life lessons—though families should note the mystic elements.
