Beef
Netflix’s newest show is well done, you might say. But Plugged In has a beef with some of its problems.
In a chicken coop somewhere in suburban America, live a clutch of chickens and their trusty husky. Coop serves as the group’s idea guy, backed by super-strong Sweetie and speedy Little Boo. And, of course, we can’t forget the canine leader of the pack: Captain Tully.
The chicks devote their days to learning from Captain Tully about how to be the kind of fowl that anyone could be proud of. They always find new challenges and problems to solve, but these chickens never shy away from a chance to help those around them.
Disney Junior presents a new twist to superheroes: Chicken Squad.
Usually when you think of superheroes, you think of people with, well superpowers. But these little chickens’ powers are more of the everyday nature. Here, kindness, teamwork and problem-solving are what save the day … along with some pretty fun gadgets. And in each 24-minute episode, broken into two parts, your toddlers and kindergarteners might learn how to move past everyday frustrations as they watch the chicks on screen, all while dancing and singing along to original songs.
The chicks learn to work together to save a puppy in need. The chicks learn the importance of being on time.
Little Boo exclaims in frustration, “ah, feathers!” Each of the chicks get frustrated with one another, although they ultimately work through those frustrations. Captain Tully gets a bit impatient.
