Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 2
By Kennedy P., KIDS FIRST! Film Critic, Age 11
I got an early look at the first four episodes of Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 2 and it is incredible. The season picks up right where the previous season left off and each episode is filled with action, adventure, humor, and it kept me on the edge of my seat.
This season adapts the second book in the series, The Sea of Monsters, following Percy, Annabeth, and a cyclops named Tyson as they journey into the Sea of Monsters to find the Golden Fleece and save Camp Half-Blood.
This series offers an amazing mix of magic, friendship, and epic quests that really shines with its amazingly talented cast.
Walker Scobell returns as Percy Jackson, bringing humor and bravery to the character, while Leah Sava Jeffries plays Annabeth Chase with intelligence and heart.
Aryan Simhadri reprises his role as Grover, adding both comic relief and loyalty that make him a fan favorite. New characters are introduced this season, including Daniel Diemer as Tyson, the lovable Cyclops, who is also Percy’s paternal half-brother, the son of Poseidon.
The settings are spectacular – Camp Half-Blood feels even more immersive, from the cabins and training grounds to the surrounding mythical landscapes. The costumes are on point, reflecting each character’s personality and role while staying true to the books. The action sequences are thrilling and well-choreographed, and the CGI brings creatures and magical effects to life in a way that’s both believable and exciting. The story balances moments of humor, friendship, and tension perfectly, making it feel like an epic adventure that’s also deeply personal for the characters.
This series is about courage, friendship, and staying true to yourself even when the odds are stacked against you.
It shows that heroes aren’t defined by their powers alone, but by their choices, loyalty, and willingness to do what’s right.
Season 2 reminds viewers that teamwork, trust, and perseverance can overcome even the most impossible challenges, and that growth often comes through facing your fears head-on.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 2 gets 5 out of 5 stars from me and I recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults.
It premieres on Disney+ on December 10, 2025, with the first two episodes available that day and the other six episodes roll out weekly.
Set six years after the events at Camp Cretaceous, members of “The Nublar Six” are struggling to find their footing off the islands, navigating a world now filled with dinosaurs and people who want to hurt them. Reunited in the wake of a tragedy, the group comes together only to find themselves on the run and catapulted into a global adventure to unravel a conspiracy that threatens dinosaur and humankind alike and finally learn the truth about what happened to one of their own.
Jurassic World: Chaos Theory is a fresh take on the world of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World. This animated TV series keeps the sleek animation style that has made the Jurassic World story so fun to watch for eight seasons (five in Camp Cretaceous and four in Chaos Theory).
While Jurassic World: Chaos Theory often shines, it sometimes feels like it stretches the story a little too far. For example, the inclusion of weaponized, assassin dinosaurs feels unnecessary. Dinosaurs are already scary enough when they hunt anything in front of them! The acting is funny and lively, though a few one-liners feel over-the-top and break the suspense, like in episode four, when the team reaches what they think is the data center and everyone piles on with a joke. Still, the story is strong, packed with humor, great animation, and filled with exciting moments. The animation especially stands out, with awesome rendering, realistic water and light effects, and incredible dinosaur designs. The music plays a big part in the series’ tension and energy. It builds suspense and makes the chase scenes even more thrilling. The bond between the characters is one of the best parts, and watching it grow over eight seasons brings a new generation into the Jurassic Park universe.
The latest season of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory is possibly the greatest season of an animated show I’ve seen. As complicated character dynamics are mixed in with action-packed adventures, its excellence is undeniable.
I was hooked from the first episode, binge-watched the entire season, and couldn’t stop thinking about the plot days after I had finished it. The writers really put their hearts and souls into this season. Clearly, they know that children can understand more complex stories, and it gave them the freedom to create Chaos Theory. If you’ve been watching the show since Season 1, you will probably be surprised by what is about to go down. I’ve become attached to the Nublar Six to the point where, for a moment, it felt like they were my friends. One of this season’s strengths is the characters’ relationships. They become happier once they settle their disputes. They work better together when they are not cautious of each other. For all the fans of action out there, don’t worry, Chaos Theory has a perfect amount of content for you as well. The mission is dangerous and the odds are against the team. This season is great at balancing action with emotions. I didn’t feel like I was being bombarded with one chase after another, nor did I feel like I was watching a soap opera. An interesting detail about the design of the Nublar Six: I enjoyed spotting all the little changes in their appearances as time has passed. The animated characters look more like real people.
The Chosen Adventures is a 14-episode animated series following nine-year-old Abby and her best friend Joshua as they navigate life in the ancient city of Capernaum. When the children encounter a wise craftsman and teacher, Jesus of Nazareth, he changes the way they see the world. And did we mention that she has a talking sheep?
The Chosen Adventures is one of the most adorable series I have ever watched with a charming and unique animation style, characters that are full of humor, and lessons that even adults can learn from. They all add up to make an absolutely wonderful show.
I really enjoyed the style of animation in this series. It has sort of a clay-like look to it, with the scenery and characters faithfully crafted to match the setting of an ancient middle eastern fishing village. Important individuals like Abby and Joshua are easy to spot in a crowd, thanks to unique outfits and traits, and this helps make the story easy to follow. However, sometimes the characters are a bit difficult to understand when they are speaking. My favorite scene is when Abby returns home from the most terrible day, and is wondering why God would give her a day in which nearly everything has gone wrong. While her Eema teaches her that, even though we might not understand all things, we should still trust God because He does know, a bird named Pigeon (Yvonne Orji) shares the good things that came from Abby’s misfortunes, even though Abby didn’t see them at the time.
Speaking of Pigeon, my favorite character is her best friend, Sheep (Paul Walter Hauser). Honestly, the best word to describe Sheep is… satirical. Despite his big, soft, and fluffy physical appearance, his words are often razor sharp. Yes, he does love Abby and her family very much, but he is never without a comment, remark, or some other form of general sarcasm that keeps everyone laughing, and reminds them to not take life too seriously.
I like The Chosen Adventures. It has great graphics, amazing voice actors, and it teaches valuable faith-based lessons. I also like its fun and wacky nature.
The animation, supervised by Denis Couchon, really makes this show. The details of the faces and the characters’ movements are wonderful. Lots of details are put into the nature and animal shots, which make them look very real. I love how every now and then we see a huge splash of color. This series teaches some faith-based lessons like the love of God and even non-faith-based lessons like friendship. The show takes us through fun adventures that I found enjoyable and think other kids will also. It definitely has a wacky feeling to it – showing stories not only from a human perspective, but also the animals’ perspective, such as from Sheep and Pigeon. The interactions between Sheep and Pigeon add a hilarious feeling to the show. Romy Fay voices Abby perfectly; it’s almost as if she and Abby are literally the same person. Jonathan Roumie plays Jesus perfectly just as he did in The Chosen.
My favorite part is when Joshua overcomes his fear of heights and climbs a ladder – it is very heartwarming. While everyone in the show does not understand Sheep, the viewers and other animals can.
Two orphaned sisters navigate a town full of people torn straight from fantasy and fairy tales, confronting heroes and villains alike, while investigating the mystery of their missing parents. “The Sisters Grimm” blends discovery, fantasy and adventure to deliver important lessons for all ages.
I love The Sisters Grimm, because of the subtle romance and excitement. I will definitely be looking forward to the second season.
I absolutely love The Sisters Grimm. It has amazing graphics and a fantastic storyline. I must also comment on the great voice acting, because the voices perfectly match the characters.
The graphics are amazing. They perfectly capture the facial expressions of the characters and give insight into their nature. You can see the amount of effort put into creating the backgrounds, because everything looks so real. The storyline is fantastic and I love all the twists and turns. It definitely had me on the edge of my seat and looking forward to seeing a second season. I like how every episode ends on a cliffhanger, making you feel the need to watch more. In six episodes they have you rooting for the heroes.
I love the way Ariel Winters and Billy Harris work together, they show Sabrina and Puck’s relationship quite well. My favorite part is when Puck comes in with a barrage of fairies and saves the day. I even found myself shocked at some points.
Zed and Addison discover the warring worlds of Sunnyside and Shadyside on a summer road trip after their first year of college, encountering two new groups of monsters.
It’s packed with catchy songs, incredible new characters, and powerful messages about being true to yourself. This is one of my favorite Zombies movies.
This film is a visually stunning and emotionally charged new chapter in the Zombies franchise, delivering everything fans love and more. It introduces an exciting new group of characters, daywalkers, led by the fierce and magnetic Nova and the vampires led by the charismatic Victor. Returning favorites like Addison, Zed, Willa, Eliza and other beloved cast members continue to shine, balancing heartfelt moments with high-energy performances. The chemistry among the cast, both new and returning, is electric, and the musical numbers are bigger and bolder than ever, with choreography that brings the supernatural storyline to life. Filmed in beautiful locations with moody, gothic set designs that contrast Seabrook’s bright, colorful world, Zombies 4 is a visual treat. The movie blends action, humor, and emotion seamlessly while delivering powerful themes about identity, inclusion, and the strength that comes from embracing differences. It’s a thrilling ride from start to finish and a standout addition to the series.
This film teaches us about acceptance, identity, and unity. With all the characters we are reminded that our differences, whether cultural, personal, or even supernatural should be embraced, not feared. These stories break through barriers of prejudice and show how understanding and friendship can truly change the world. They remind us to stand up for what’s right; celebrate what makes us unique, and lead with kindness.
