Mira, Royal Detective (2020–2022)
7/10
Another hit for Disney Junior
3 May 2020
While I'm salty about the fact that The Rocketeer, a great show, was a flop, I guess this show makes up for it because it's already really popular, albeit not as good as Tots.

Animation and Art Style: The animation isn't as Pixar-esque as the Rocketeer, and is slightly rough around the edges, but is decent nonetheless. The characters all have unique designs, and the color palette is vibrant.

Writing: The writing is fine. The episodes can get a bit repetitive though because they follow the same format. I will say that the writers did do their research in regards to Indian culture, as it is very accurate.

Characters: The characters are alright. I enjoy the side characters such as Neel and Priya. Mikku and Chikku are really funny. Mira on the other hand, is kind of a Mary-Sue, but at least not completely as she's shown to struggle with filling in the shoes of a Royal Detective.

Music: I, for one, love the music. The theme song and the 'We're On The Case' song are both really catchy, and the music is properly Indian-style.

Enjoyment: It's not something I would watch every day, but it's a fun little series with some long-overdue respectful Indian representation. And I got this review out just in time for Asian Pacific Heritage Month.
