After moving to the countryside, songwriter Johnny discovers a portal in his backyard that leads to a magical land called Grotto's Grove where he meets furry musical creates called Sprites. The Sprites -- Sage, Basil, Roots and Lily -- are all friendly puppets living in a magical world of talking flowers in an enchanted forest. Other characters on the show include Johnny's neighbor, Gwen, and colorful creatures called Fuzzies, who live with the Sprites. The preschool series teaches tolerance, understanding and respect through music, most of which is written by Broadway composers.

[T]he real beauty of Johnny and the Sprites is that the creators were able to take that delectable Broadway bigness... and make it size-appropriate for little ones, not to mention a little screen. Go to Full Review Ginia Bellafante New York Times 02/10/2020
"Johnny and the Sprites" is itself a musical, with each episode delivering two message vignettes... that the consistently buoyant and clever songs keep from feeling preachy. Go to Full Review Barry Garron The Hollywood Reporter 02/10/2020
At once light, bright, colorful, musical, thoughtful and entertaining, this is the kind of series parents pray for and kids love to watch. Go to Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media 02/10/2020
4/5
The bonus for parents is that Tartaglia's talent means that the show relies more on strong acting, good writing, and fun musical numbers (many of which are written by Broadway composers) than on general goofiness to capture audiences. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
