Pluribus
‘Pluribus’ takes us into a genteel planetary takeover. But despite likable conquerors, the violence, sex and swearing make this an unpleasant invasion.
Waldo and Wenda are always down for an adventure. And as members of the WorldWide Wanderer Society, travel is the name of their game.
From the Amazon rainforests to the canals of Venice, Waldo and Wenda learn all they can from their mentor, Wizard Whitebeard, as he sends them off to accomplish daily deeds across the globe.
Along the way, they find and collect stripes to become wizard-level Wanderers. That is, if they can evade their sneaky rival, Odlulu, and her fuzzy ferret, Fritz.
Based on the popular British puzzle book series by Martin Handford, Where’s Waldo? is a TV-Y kids show created by Dreamworks that previously found its home on Universal Kids, but is now accessible through NBC’s streaming platform, Peacock.
Each 22-minute episode shows young Wanderers Waldo and Wenda travelling the globe in search of fun experiences and new skills. Along the way, these two teammates find magical keys that help them learn how to change the weather, interact with dancing plants or bring mythological characters to life.
And as little ones watch along, they too will get a boost of educational knowledge as they learn about geography and science, and the value of friendship, teamwork and bravery.
In this season premiere, Waldo and Wenda head to the Amazon to learn about different types of plants and foliage. Nemesis Odlulu and her pet ferret, Fritz, follow Waldo and Wenda in search of a magical key.
Fritz slips and falls, while Odlulu steals from Waldo and Wenda.
