Go, Dog. Go!

Amazing laugh.my 3 year olds watches it every day.

This show is the best, even I love it after watching it 25+ times. Please make another season. My 14 month old loves this show more than anything. He never sit still except when I put this show on.

With soulless merchandise-driven crap like Mighty Express and Rainbow Rangers being mass-marketed to kids, this show, which is instead based on a book from 1961, was a pleasant surprise. Going into "Go Dog Go!" I didn't know what to expect, and I thought it looked rather lame at first. I was cautious because of Wildbrain's involvement because I don't particularly like them, but this show was of surprising quality.

The animation is bright and colorful, but not eye-bleeding neon. Plus, the fur on the dogs is very detailed. The characters look happy, expressive, and cuddly. The show has a 50s-60s aesthetic, which makes sense because as I said, the book was made in 1961.

Adam Peltzman helms the show, and he has a great track record of working on preschool shows with clever writing and strong characters like Wallykazam and Odd Squad. The show is fine but not my favorite and I wouldn't watch it everyday because the characters don't seem to written strongly enough, they're all just nice and excitable, which is a huge problem with modern preschool shows. Being nice isn't the only personality trait. You need your characters to have flaws that kids to relate to, because no one's perfect. Shows like Xavier Riddle and Ready Jet Go do a great job of making flawed yet likable characters.

Admittedly, the writing here isn't as strong as those shows, and so there's not much benefit for parents, but the best thing about the show that parents need to know is that it's not annoying at all. Kids will love it, I'm sure.

But I'd rather watch Wallykazam.

My almost 2 year old just keeps rewatching all the episodes!! Season 2 pretty please!!!

The creative TV series Go, Dog. Go! based on the book by P.D Eastman is completely satisfying. Every element of traditional animated shows is used to create a brand new, originally entertaining series. With intriguing animation and impressive voice-over acting, Go, Dog, Go is a must-see for young viewers!

Each of the nine episodes follows Tag Barker (Michela Luci) in her adventures through Pawston with her friend Scooch Pooch (Callum Shoniker). Together, they solve problems and have fun. There are two individual stories per episode, with the same general characters. The antagonist is primarily Frank, (David Berni), who stands in the way of Tag and Scooch.

Throughout the series, I am impressed time after time with its amazing animation. While it is colorful and fun; it is also fairly realistic. The dogs look so real and cute, I want to hug them! Something that makes this show even more special is the creative way that it uses so many elements from P.D. Eastman's original book and creates a whole new world out of it. All of the main story parts are included and more are added such as a doorbell shop, a racecar track and so much more. All these locations and lots of extra events are important to the story. One of my favorite aspects of the film is when the dogs sing. It's very clever and funny. The creative story is amazing, but the acting is even better. With such cute, specific-to-character performances, I almost wondered if these characters are real! There is only one minor issue that most likely isn't noticeable to little kids - some of the episodes are repetitive. Most of the time, the series doesn't change the plot very much from one story to the next. That doesn't make much of a dent in my overall enjoyment of this series however.

The message that Tag, Scooch and all of their friends convey is that teamwork and kindness are best. They work together to problem solve and help out dogs around town. Sometimes there are additional themes for individual episodes.

I give Go, Dog. Go! 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 3 to 7. Reviewed by Kyla C., KIDS FIRST!
