From the very opening theme that sounds like a call for the kids to gather ‘round the TV, this series succeeds in being a colorful, attention-grabbing playtime show for preschoolers. The premise itself—of having pets with distinct magical abilities—is a common desire among children and an easy hook to stay tuned in. Each episode is straightforward in laying out how these pet abilities can be both a big help and a big problem, but nothing that kids can’t take care of if they put their heads together. It’s a simple enough children’s show with lessons about family values, and while not groundbreaking in the slightest, is still a decent choice to consider introducing to the little ones.

Why can’t Morphle just solve everything by shapeshifting into whatever they need? Is that some hidden lesson about trying to solve a problem yourself first before pressing your magical pet for help?
