Wonder Man
For a superhero show, ‘Wonder Man’ is surprisingly light on violence, but a bit heavy on swearing, sexual allusions and meta-Hollywood references.
Welcome to a magical place called Funhouse Forest.
Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy and Pluto go to this fantastical land to visit their enchanted, four-walled friend, Funny the Funhouse. Each time they visit Funny, they get to choose a magical door that leads them to a new, enchanted place. And there, Funny becomes a building or boat or whatever the gang needs as they embark on new adventures to answer questions and face fears.
Mickey Mouse Funhouse is Disney Junior’s latest TV-Y series featuring the beloved mouse and all his friends. Every 24-minute episode features Mickey and the rest as they travel with their friend, Funny the Funhouse, to a magical land where they find the answers to a question like, are dragons really mean?
This show centers on fun, imaginative worlds that kids would surely want to visit. Here, Funny the Funhouse helps the gang learn lessons on kindness, character, and positivity matter. Each new world is a place where problem solving, creativity and ingenuity take the front seat, even as bad ole’ Pete, Mickey’s longtime enemy, may try to foil plans along the way.
Mickey and the gang travel to the land of Magestica to find out if dragons are inherently good or bad creatures.
Mickey and his friends work together and solve problems along the way. They also learn to not make assumptions about anyone, or anything.

All in all, Netflix’s ‘Finding Her Edge’ could use a bit more sharpening to hone its own edge.
Two families try to recover from a critical loss in the Wonder Project’s faith-tinged ‘It’s Not Like That.’ But the show has more content than you’d expect.
