The show.
Koko, Brewster and Wilson are three young, adventurous trainee "chuggers", learning about working on the railway in the town of Chuggington, with the help of the railway controller, Vee, the older engines, and their human friends.
our take
“Chuggington's training-yard setting and teamwork themes have some appeal. It scores an F because the pacing is action-driven with fast movement sequences, the interpersonal dynamics include competitive and reckless behavior, and the language is functional rather than rich. The commercial toy tie-in also weighs on developmental appropriateness.”
