I grew up watching Zaboomafo and Steve Irwin Crocodile Hunter, but when Zaboomafo stoppped airing episodes and Steve Irwin passed away I was in a long period of darkness for fun entertaining animal shows. But one day my younger cousins introduced me to Wild Kratts and my life changed forever. After I saw the episode Platypus Cafe I did my best to catch up. The good thing was the show was in the middle of it's first season so I managed to catch up before season 2 arrived.

And I enjoyed every second of the show. It has beautiful animation, cool animals, great science topics, wonderful Wow facts, memorable characters(hilarious villains), great humor, great action, fun stories, creature power suits. It has a mix of everything I always loved as a kid and things that I still enjoy now.

First lets talk about the animation. The Kratt brothers have always said that there are somethings you just can't show in Nature. Which is why the animation is crucial to this show. It brings alive the animals and there habitats as well, and is able to show some things (Like the Sperm Whale vs Giant Squid) that you just can't show. And it's not wacky 2D animation or gloppy 3D animation it's such beautiful and a more realistic kind of 2D animation.

Now lets talk about the characters. We have Martin Kratt the emotional, excited and disorganized, but serious when needs be, brother and Chris Kratt the calm and organized, but still fun and intellectual brother. Both are fun and educational teachers in animation and live-action. They bring the energy to the education of the show and the show in general. And the creature power suits are awesome. Humans gaining the abilities of animals and using there special skills is something that always interested me. As for the other characters we have Aviva, the smart, head strong, optimistic, and competitive inventor who makes much of the Wild Kratts awesome technology, Koki, the coordinated, sassy, sometimes grumpy, communications expert and also helps with Aviva's inventions. And Jimmy Z, the lazy, nervous, but crafty pilot and teleporter of there big turtle ship the Tortuga. All of these characters are so fun to watch and all of them are funny.

But who might be funnier than the leads are the villains. Never have I seen villains so funny and so memorable in any environmental kids show or in a PBS Kids show. We have Zach Varmietech who is a arrogant and whiny robotics inventor and the main antagonist. He likes to turn animals into robots and try to best the Wild Kratt, sometimes by stealing there inventions. He's also got some awesome and funny Robots. We have Donita Donata who is an impatient and easily frustrated, animal fashion designer with her dim witted henchman Dabio. We have Chef Gaston Gourmand, a sly, clever and crafty chef who likes to cook up animals. And we have there most recent villain Paisley Paver, an organized, by the book, engineerer who paves animal homes with her energentic henchman Rex. All of these Villains make me laugh every time there on screen with there egos, there crazy schemes and there interactions with the Kratt Brothers. And when you put them all in the same room you just can't stop chuckling. Even though the voice acting for some of these characters isn't spot on they are still fun to watch.

And last but not least we have the educational value. There are things in this show I have never heard about and even some animals I never heard about until I came across this show like the Yeti Crab, Proboscis Monkey, Honey Badger, Immortal Jellyfish(Wait till season 4) All of these animals are presented so well and in a way that can educate children and adults. Many think that education and fun are natural enemies but that is completely bogus. The Kratt Brothers, Martin and Chris not only make learning fun but also makes engaging stories to go along with it. It provides a lot of education but never shys away from being creative. But that's just my opinion, watch this show for yourself and see if you, like me, can go Wild with Wild Kratts

I loved the Wild Kratts as a kid, and now my son gets to enjoy them too thanks to the series being available on streaming. Any kids show that encourages children to learn about and appreciate animals and nature is good in my book. The Wild Kratts however, have taken learning to a higher and more fun level by not only having the live action sets that we were used to growing up, by adding animated adventures centered around the animals that are the focus of the show. It keeps the kids more invested, and adds some humor and action to the series. The shows also recognizes the importance of every animal in the animal kidding, from lions to earthworms. Predators that go after some of the featured animals aren't vilified as you might expect them to be, because the Kratts know that they are all part of the animal kingdom. I definitely recommend this to kids of any age; there is plenty to enjoy and learn for the whole family.

I grew up watching Kratts Creatures and Zaboomafoo. I love watching this show with my kids. It's fun and educational. The Kratt brothers love what they do, and that comes across in the live action portions. The animated parts is silly and fun but still educational.

An absolutely amazing, informational, and funny show.

My daughter loves this show and will watch it over and over again.

I love watching this show with her as well.

Sometimes I'll catch myself watching it even when she is not.

The Kratt brothers are very educational for children.

They help them understand about wild animals and how all animals deserve to be respected.

Each episode has its own quirky event going on that keeps children interested.

The moment my daughter hears them talking or their theme song, she's very excited and knows what's on.

I highly recommend this Wild Kratts!

Very informative but done in a very fun way, my 9 year old and 4 year old love it, on some animals they have more knowledge than me and I asked them where did you learn it, in school? they said in wild kratts. Of all the desruptive and destructive cartoons nowadays, this one is done right, highly recommended, I hope they continues this TV show

We love the wild kratts at our house. Pbs has this great educational show.My son has had two wild kratts birthday parties in a row .He loves how they are real people who turn into cartoons to go on adventures, they have a specific animal they follow during the episode and share a ton of information on them. The best part is they have creature power suits where Chris n Martin turn into that specific animal and teach the kids more about the animal. He has learned so much from the show.

Perfect blend of fun entertainment and educational information. My kids age 2 - 9yrs love it.

I loved this show when I was a kid and watching it on Netflix brings back so many memories.

I watched the Kratts when I was a kid and love the fact that my kids are into them aswell. The show can be a bit goofy at times. But it is a kids show so people shouldn't put to much into some of it. As far as kids go I recommend to all parents looking for a good cartoon for their kids to let em watch this.

So here's the thing. The concept for the show is wonderful and my daughter and I actually very much enjoy it. But the problem lies within their execution of a strive for diversity. I so much appreciate seeing a show trying to be inclusive and diverse but...you couldn't hire a black actor for your black character Koki???? Her fake "blackccent" is extremely offensive and for the record I am white, not that it should matter. There are so many black voice actors that you could have cast, and you're trying to aim for a show that is inclusive to all children, but in the process of trying to APPEAR inclusive you're still hiring and PAYING a WHITE woman to PRETEND to be black. There's something very wrong with this picture. Hire a black voice actor to play a black character. TRUE inclusivity and diversity is what happens behind the scenes. A. K. A who the paychecks are be written to. This is just absolutely disgusting and disappointing to see.

I grew up watching Wild Kratts and I am now a zoology student, what more is there to say?

It's sad that PBS kids has changed a lot of the good shows over the years, and as someone who grew up on PBS kids, this is one of the few good shows left. Wild Kratts is a really good show and very educational, it takes place with Chris and Martin Kratts on adventures talking about animals. 10/10 with added points for nostaliga.

I am, of course, a tad bit biased since this was one of my favorite shows as a kid, but it really is that good. And unlike alot of other kids shows being pumped out every year, it actually has a center and isn't incredibly childish. Easily one of the best shows airing on PBS, along with Sesame Street and Arthur.

I really wanted to review this show. This review will be on the Wild Kratts. This show is about two brothers, Chris and Martin Kratt going on expeditions to explore animals and the wild. In many episodes the Kratt brothers use creature powers. This show is awesome and one of the best PBS Kids shows around even if it has a few problems.

The animation is really good. The character designs, the backgrounds and action scenes are really cool to look at. For instance the different habitats; like the African savanna and the North American temperate forest, the Wild Kratts crew end up in are well animated. The music is hit or miss; the background music and theme song are good. While the occasional songs are more mixed.

The writing is mostly good. The plots involving either rescuing animals, their habitat, saving Aviva's inventions are examples. Episodes can be about really well known animals like cheetahs, elephants and more; or they can be about lesser known animals like fossas, tarsiers and more. Aviva's inventions are also really cool like the creature power suits and discs. Some episodes are boring, but this show can be really funny like with the slapstick the Kratt brothers end up in.

The characters are mostly great. The main and best are the Kratt brothers (Chris and Martin) who are opposites of each other. Chris is the organized and calm brother who takes time to study animals. Martin is the more goofy brother who likes to have fun with the animals they meet. The other characters include Aviva: a smart inventor who has a lot of flaws but is likable. Koki: a sassy black woman who manages the tortuga's computers. Jimmy Z: who is a lazy eater but is the Tortuga's pilot. There is a negative review that says that Koki and Jimmy are useless, they are wrong.

The villains are mostly fun, even if they're not the best. A lot of people dislike Zach, but I like him for being funny (ex: "Mommy...GET IT OFF! Its icky feet are scratchy!") and his plans can be from turning animals into robots to stealing Aviva's inventions. There is also Donita (an animal fashion designer), Dabio (her dimwitted assistant) and Gourmand (an endangered animal chef). The characters I dislike are Paisley and Rex (flat villains whose only goals are paving and hating nature).

Wild Kratts is a cool show about cool creatures that still has some flaws. Some episodes are boring, newer seasons declining (there still good), not great songs, Paisley and Rex are flat and boring. Despite those problems, Wild Kratts is great for its animation, theme song and background music, episodes about animals and their habitats, inventions, humor, action and most of the characters. This show gets a 9/10.

I would also like to say that this show gets hiatuses a lot, especially now. But I'm patient.

This show is Useless and Overrated. Not to say people can't like it but God. People treat it like it's a treat from God. But anyway on to the Review.

The Characters: All of them are bad. Let's start with Chris and Martin the most Stupidest Characters in the Show. Chris I have nothing to say about him. But Martin is Stupid. He always gets hurt by Animals. Not only that but This teaches Kids that Animal abuse is Good. It's not. Avira is the one who made the Creature suits that everyone likes and say She's smarter then them. Bruh, She's a Fictional Character. And Koki and Jimmy Z are useless to The plot so IDK why they are even there. And The Villains are lame.

Theme Song: It's really annoying. Heck, The Little Einsteins Theme Song is less Annoying then this IMAO

The Animation: OH. MY. GOSH. THISIS THE WORST ANIMATION I HAVE EVER SEEN. I WOULD EVEN WATCH ANIMATION THAT ISN'T ANIMATION. JUST FRAME TO FRAME.

Their Fanbase are Opinion Bashers. Like I got attacked by The Fanbase just for Saying "Wild Kratts is the Worst Show ever". And again, People say nothing beats it not even God beats it. Which is disrespectful.

And The Live Action Parts are Okay. Just why couldn't they just have The Cringe Show be live Action?

So I give this 1/10 It's that bad.

The Kratts have been around for a while. Zoboomafoo was their breakthrough and they've appeared on TV ever since. Because of their experience and intelligence, I naturally assumed this would be decent, but I was wrong.

The characters are not very interesting. This problem starts with the brothers themselves, who cannot transition their energy to voice acting. Also, I'm not even sure why Koki and Jimmy Z exist; they are flat and are insignificant to the plot. Aviva does at least do something, but her voice actress is also bad. I should note that the characters aren't helped by a boring, hackneyed script.

The only reason I don't give this show a 1 is that one of the villains (Donita Donata), a fashion designer of sorts, is actually a little entertaining. Her interactions with the Kratts offer a little comic relief. The other villains are as bland as the main characters.

I know a criticism of this show may seem a bit harsh, as it is meant for kids, but there are better children's programs out there (Phineas and Ferb, Arthur, and even Cyberchase). PBS has gone downhill.

I am watching this ani/cartoon show with my kids of 10 and 12 years. Every Friday night episodes of the Wild Kratts are among other episodes of other ani/cartoon-series in one hour long ani/cartoon-collection. This Wild Kratts are a waste of time ... in my family we like to watch real nature educational TV-series e.g. Those of BBC among others. By any science-scale Wild Kratts series are made for "ignorant" and or "stupid children", so if any children above the age of 7-8 years old are supposed to learn something science/nature-related from Wild Kratts, then the national educational system of those childrens country in deed need a review. Maybe "a waste of time" is too nice a "grade" for Wild Kratts...
