Ignore the review bombing over the accents. The complaints about the "defamatory" accents are unwarranted and stupid. If you watch the original UK version, just about every character in this show has a silly accent. If you are that concerned about how a kids' show cartoon character sounds, especially if they are meant to be silly, then you need to get a life.
In no way does the show intend to perpetuate negative stereotypes with the voices that it uses. If this were the case, then the targeted characters would be defamed and pointed out for what specific accent they had.
This negative press reminds me a lot of The Problem With Apu situation. Apu may have a silly voice, but so does just about every other character in The Simpsons. The point of both of these cartoons is to make fun of ourselves, not to try and hurt someone or their culture.
Beyond this stupid complaint that I keep seeing in these reviews, the show is awesome. For one, the intro itself is top notch. It's still stuck in my head to this day, and every character is perfectly suited for the entire 45 seconds.
Another thing that I love is the relatability of these characters. They may be simple, but their personalities mesh perfectly with what I go through in my daily life.
In addition, this show is very faithful to the original source material. Just like the books, the character designs are fun, creative, and expressive in just about every shot.
For anyone who loves the book series, this show is a must watch.
