This show is so fun! It's goofy and light, while also exploring healthy and positive messages for kids.
In one episode the gang has to learn to make accommodations for different needs in their communal space rather than sticking rigidly to a "system" that once worked but doesn't anymore, while also battling an evil army of sapient cockroaches!
In another, Megamind has to learn to explore negative feelings that are manifesting as a tummy ache rather than trying to ignore them, while also wrangling an escaped robot whose programming makes him a threat to the city!
It is funny and exciting while also promoting positive themes and lessons. It's very reminiscent to me of the kids shows I watched in the 90s; Sonic, Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers, TailSpin, Gargoyles, etc, and it's really great to have something so fun and easy to get sucked into.
I think it's more enjoyable for adults, though, than that older stuff because the writers (the same writers as the original 2010 Megamind movie) really know how to throw in the same kind of jokes that we all appreciated from the 2010 movie!
I find the show has both more humor and heart than the new movie, Megamind vs The Doom Syndicate, and I think it's because the characters are given more time to breathe and interact with each other, whereas the movie was paced very quickly to squeeze a lot in. The show is great. If the movie didn't grab you, definitely give the show a shot!
