On Marvel's Spidey and His Amazing Friends, the logo is superimposed, with the animation intact, and there are no fireworks. On some newer prints of episodes of Out of the Box, the 2001 Playhouse Disney Channel logo is seen: this is also a reverse plastering job. On one 2013 episode and some 2011 episodes of Art Attack, a copyright notice appears under the logo. On some newer prints of Little Einsteins episodes (namely "The Incredible Shrinking Adventure"), the 2001 Playhouse Disney Channel logo is seen: this is most likely a reverse plastering job. Trivia: The fireworks are likely inspired by those of the 2006 Walt Disney Pictures logo and The Wonderful World of Disney intros. After that, fireworks fly behind the logo. Logo: We see the Disney Junior logo (with the letters in the word, " Junior" with " i" in the Mickey Mouse suit and a Mickey Mouse head as the dot, in Futura Bold, bouncing in a few times and has "DiSNEY" in its corporate font above " Junior"), zooming out. The words "THE MAGIC RETURNS AT 6am" appear at the bottom. If art and visuals are important to you, then maybe this will have some value, but otherwise the pacing makes this one to skip if you've got young children.This logo is used as a looping sign off in the UK. I like watching this one alongside my 4-year old for that reason, but I insist on changing this after one episode.
Visually, it reminds me a lot of Pee Wee's playhouse. The future-retro aesthetic is awesome and truly inspired. The art direction on the show is great, however. The young robot on the show is voiced by an adult mimicking baby talk, and the speaking style will rub off easily on young viewers. For that reason, it can't be recommended for a child whose language skills are emerging. The real problem, as mentioned in a previous review, is that the English used on the program is invented, and doesn't reflect real-life language. There's no real messaging, just silliness, so it's hard to feel good about sitting your little one in front of this one for long periods of time.
It's got that "addictive" quality that is found in some modern shows such as Paw Patrol, and it's discomforting for parents. The show was created at a time when most creators believed that the only way to engage young children was with quick cuts and unrelenting action. All of the reviews on here are from around the time the show was current, and given that it's available on streaming services in 2022, it seems appropriate to revisit this show with fresh eyes.īottom line - it's just ok by modern standards.
