NEW FAVE

The kids have a new favorite show these days. They discovered The Wonder Pets on Nick Jr. I love this show! It's sooo cute! And I love the singspiel format of the show. They have a song that goes: "What's gonna work, Team work!". Here's more about it from wikipedia:

Wonder Pets is an American animated children's television series. It debuted on March 3, 2006, on the Nick Jr. block of the Nickelodeon cable television network.
The show's main characters are three elementary school classroom pets — Linny the Guinea Pig, Turtle Tuck, and Ming-Ming Duckling. They are presented as a trio of heroes who rescue baby animals as they demonstrate the benefits of teamwork.

The animation style used to create Wonder Pets is called "photo-puppetry", and was created for the series to allow animators to manipulate photographs of real animals. It also uses drawn objects (not characters), so the total presentation could be considered animated mixed-media.
The dialogue is almost entirely singing, so the show has been called an operetta or a singspiel. A 10-member live orchestra performs each episode, sometimes including other instrumentalists skilled in music from the region to which the pets are travelling during the episode. Completing each episode takes 33 weeks from script to final delivery.

Here's one of their songs:

Wonder Pets! Wonder Pets! We're on our way,
To help a baby [featured animal], and save the day.
(Ming-Ming:) We're not too big,
(Tuck:) And we're not too tough,
(All:) But when we work together we've got the right stuff!
Goooooooo Wonder Pets! Yaaaaaaayyyyyyy!
