The show.
Six-year old Hank and his best pal, a giant trash truck, explore the world around them on fantastical adventures with their animal friends.
our take
“Trash Truck earns its place in the A tier with a rare combination of gentle pacing, beautiful animation, and emotionally intelligent storytelling. Hank's world is quiet and nature-filled, conflicts are resolved with kindness, and the dialogue is simple but rich. It's the kind of show that leaves kids calm and imaginative rather than wired.”
