The show.
Along with his pals - Callie Cat, Grumpy Toad, Sally Squirrel, Emma the Quebecoise Pug, Gustavo the Platypus, Pete brings you along on their adventures. Whether learning to conquer his fears of the waves, meeting the new platypus on the block, starting a band with his friends or chasing a trick-or-treating ghost, Pete and his pals always try to keep cool, keep kind and keep rocking.
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.”
