Notes

Zoboomafoo is easy to love, because it's so full of good stuff. Not only are Martin (in blue shirt) and Chris (in green shirt) enthusiastic and playful, but they also seem to be honestly enjoying themselves. This enthusiasm is contagious, so this is why people enjoy watching this.Along with their friend Zoboo the lemur, the Kratt brothers make learning about animals lots of fun. Martin and Chris make the interactive aspect of the show very engaging. Likewise, by prompting us to learn about animals and their habitat, the Kratt brothers have created a truly educational program; especially when the hosts can bring the animals on to the set. Meanwhile, the manner in which Martin and Chris relate to animals is extremely respectful. They never injure the animals, clearly setting a positive example for young viewers.

One part of the show includes a fantasy element, wherein Zoboo tells a far-out story which is played out in claymation. It works, if simply because Zoboo is very childlike, saying things like, "I can't believe my mind," when hearing something incredible. The jumpy nature of these segments can be a bit odd, but it generally serves to enrich the program with an artistic element. Zoboomafoo is a fun, educational show for all ages to enjoy.
