    This series is really, really good! Very well developed and fleshed-out. I'm enjoying it. The messaging is more nuanced than many of the heavy-handed social messaging content being released these days. I love how each episode shifts focus on a different character while keeping the same perspective. Definitely worth the watch.

    When I was a child, I saw animation series that represented only one race, and as a person of color, animation/cartoons seemed to be predominantly white, with characters speaking in American accents. Now, I'm thrilled to see animation series featuring characters of various races and accents, like this one set in Nigeria. Kudos to Disney for becoming more inclusive.

    This is a children’s show, which in and of itself isn’t bad, but I don’t know why Disney is promoting it on this channel as though it were for general audiences.
    UPDATE. I have seen since the first 2 episodes of the show. It’s interesting and definitely walks a fine line between a children’s show and one meant for general audiences. It’s a lot more mature than I expected and has clearly had a lot of work put into it. For me the animation is just not as nice as I would have liked and the villain is a bit too cartoonish for my tastes. I do however plan on finishing the show.

    • @TuboCremesi
      @TuboCremesi 2 місяці тому +32

      Because it's made by Walt Disney Animation Studios (this is their first long-form episodes animated series) in co-production with Kugali. So it's not like other animated shows made mainly by Disney Television Animation.

    • @justicetilsher
      @justicetilsher 2 місяці тому

      ​@@b1njjj95 I understand that it's able to be watched by people of all ages, but that doesn't change the fact that it's geared towards a younger audience. Sure, adults might enjoy this show but it won't have the mass appeal behind something like Moana or Inside out 2. Not just because those are sequels, but because they are designed to pull in adults and kids alike through richer animation, more mature writing and deeper themes. Again, if an adult wants to enjoy Iwájú, I am happy for them! But it's not going to appeal to the entire Disney animation fanbase.

    The only suggestion I would make is that the English subtitles would translate the non-English dialogue into English. There was much of the dialogue I did not understand. This did not really diminish my ability to follow the story or enjoy it (as context filled in most of the blanks), but I would have appreciated having the subtitles that I could read in my language.
