User Reviews

A great show

When I was growing up this was one of my favorite shows. I used to love watching the babies imagine things around them and trying to say words like when they try to say chimney. But when the movie came out and they added Dil to the cast of the show, I lost a little interest, I mean they changed the intro. But I'd had it when they added Kimi to the cast, I didn't watch it anymore. Every once in a while I'll watch an old episode on Nicktoons, great show, that after a while lost that spark. I would still recommend it to any child, and it is always nostalgic. In my opinion a classic among children growing up in the early - mid 90's.
