Tom 0 @Tom0x44 Jan 24 Fantastic and powerful! Combines the creativity and magic of Netflix's Hilda, with the heart and family-centered storytelling of Bluey. Every episode is a treasure. The soundtrack fits so well with the show and the animation and art style creates just the right blend of uncertainty and familiarity. BYU TV for the win! See more Read all reviews
