what it is.
The show.
Based on James Dean and Kimberly Dean's picture books, this Amazon animated series follows Pete, a cool blue cat with a laid-back attitude, and his friends as they navigate school, friendship, and creative adventures with an emphasis on positivity and music. Aimed at ages 3–6.
our take
“Pete's 'it's all good' philosophy is a refreshing approach to resilience, and the show's musical elements are engaging without being overstimulating. It sits at the C-grade border because the animation is visually busier than our top picks and the storytelling, while positive, can be somewhat surface-level. Language development is adequate but not exceptional.”
