The WotWots are two fluffy alien adventurers who have landed in a local zoo and want to learn all they can about the animals who live there.
They discover all kinds of things in these eight adventures. They find out that some animals are good at hiding and that not all creatures have spots like them. They even discover that some creatures don't have soft fur at all - they have prickly spikes instead!
Product reviews...
This is a cute, but rather subdued children's program, especially when you think of the more lively shows aimed for similar ages like Hi 5, The Wiggles, Dora the Explorer, etc. While it still does educate pre-schoolers in some ways, with covering animal noises, their names, patterns etc, The WotWots is not really one for keeping an active toddler/pre-schooler enthralled. My 15 month old son hung about for less than 5 minutes before he was off playing with his toys in another room. Give him a show with more music and more action, then he'll hang around longer.
Despite this, I will admit the animation side of things is rather well done, and I dare say the soft toy versions will sell pretty well, as Spotty Wot and his sister Dotty Wot make for a cute cuddly-looking pair, with their pastel colours and fluffy-tipped antenas. Spotty Wot was definitely the more artistic one of the pair, although he only ever seemed to draw himsel or his sister with minor changes that related to the animal that was the main focus of that particular episode... it would have been nice to see him draw the actual animals themselves occasionally maybe. Dotty Wot seemed more interested in the actual educational side of things, as she's the one to normally go hunting to find the name of the creature they've heard/seen part of... and try to copy the sound of the animal's name.
The episodes were kept nice and short, which is definitely a plus for a toddler's usually limited attention span, and the information is passed along to viewers in a very child-friendly manner. I just found it somewhat lacking in "oomph" that keeps even a little one entertained.
