Series Critic, Age 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our favorite mighty tiny creatures \u2013 Very Berry, Leaf, Twig and Rocksy \u2013&nbsp; are back for a new round of adventures in <em>The Mighty Ones<\/em> Season 2. This animated series is fun and colorful, with a nice mix of hidden educational messages. Each episode presents an obstacle for the Mighty Ones crew, which they usually create themselves, but they always find a way to get out of it. This series is very bubbly and enjoyable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Enjoy Tiana S.&#039;s review of the Mighty Ones: Season 2\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EsfLKAmkAtY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Mighty Ones <\/em>is about a group of four friends: Very Berry (Alex Cazares), Twig (Josh Brener), Leaf (Jimmy Tatro) and Rocksy (Jessica McKenna). They live in a messy backyard of humans that they call giants or gods. The messiness makes for great new adventures on every path. While they are the smallest things in the yard, there is no obstacle they can\u2019t overcome because they always work together and have each other\u2019s backs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Enjoy Tiana S.&#039;s interview with Alex Cazares and Josh Brener, The Mighty Ones\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-9kKwZTbPVs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The main characters are Very Berry, a fun and adventurous strawberry; Leaf, a laid-back and cool leaf; Twig, a smart and nervous stick; and Rocksy, a considerate pebble, who is also the group leader. I love how each character has huge goals and its own personality. My favorite scene is from the \u201cHome Touchers\u201d episode when Rocksy is trapped in the humans\u2019 house. Kensington (Janina Gavankar), one of the \u201cgiants,\u201d is listening to a podcast about murderous ghosts. The show describes the signs of a ghost being in the house and, each time Twig and Berry make that exact noise to capture Rocky\u2019s attention, it scares Kensington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Tiana-263x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1145\" width=\"132\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Tiana-263x300.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Tiana-768x877.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Tiana.jpg 842w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 132px) 100vw, 132px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of <em>The Mighty Ones<\/em> is to trust your friends because they have your best interest at heart and you can do more together than alone. There is also a hidden message throughout the series about how humans affect the lives of other living things. The \u201cMighty Ones\u201d are affected by all the things the humans keep in their backyard, which correlates to how humans affect climate change and the lives of other species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give <em>The Mighty Ones <\/em>4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for kids ages 8 to 12. You can find Season 2streaming on Peacock and Hulu beginning July 1, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The adventures of a gang of tiny creatures &#8212; a pebble, a strawberry, a twig and a leaf &#8212; who are best friends and live in a terribly unkempt backyard belonging to a trio of equally unkempt humans.
