    Why am I seeing people compare this to Dora? Stahp it, guys.

    This show atleast does not drag out all the stuff they talk to us for so long, and this show atleast SUCCESSED at looking cute, not having lazy character artwork (Putting eyes and a mouth on objects IS lazy)

    Ok, not the best children show around, but atleast watchable

    People are comparing this to Dora the Explorer... This is BETTER than Dora. When I have watched Dora, she has repeated things so many times it makes me want to throw something at the screen. "what do we have to do? cross the bridge, go over the mountains, then through the woods!" OVER and OVER. I'm pretty sure the kids get it after the second time. I found her too annoying to watch more than twice.

    Kai-lan does not unnecessarily repeat things. The characters may seem annoying at times (some voices and seemingly clingy-ness/codependency get to me sometimes), but the show is NOT annoying, as Dora's is. Also, The environment where they wander about (and the characters) seem more colourful and exciting.

    This show is 1up on Dora, or maybe 5up?

    Plus, you get to learn some Chinese that may be pointless, words like "jump" and "snow," but someday everyone may be forced to speak Chinese so we'll be a few words ahead of a lot of people ; )moreless

  • Not another Dora The Explorer!

    This show is just a weird rip off of Dora.I don't like this one bit and like I said in my Dora review if you want to learn a new language then GET TO A F*CKING TUTOR I had enough off people trying to make people learn chinise or whatever by watching a forgien language show so get a bleedin tutor. So avoid this and watch Bubble Guppies or Kerwhizz two funpacked educational shows for growing children.moreless

  • What's this? A chinese version of dora. Just what we need.

    This is just worst as Dora.



    Plot: Just like Dora's plot's only chinese-filled.



    Characters: They are annoying. REALLY annoying. Most of them have bad influences on kids, such as that tiger who always whine like an spoiled brat.



    Value: None. To learn Chinese, go buy a Chinese book that focuses on studying languages for your kids, Espanol is a little easy, and it's a good point (A good point that Dora The Explorer had) but chinese, you won't learn by single words.



    Art: Animation is decent, but the designs make Dora The Explorer look brilliant.



    Overall: -2. They should cancel this show that rejects to be a chinese spin-off of Dora The Explorer.moreless
