Seeing these kids brings hope about the future
Aeneas2116 October 2015
This environmentally-focused series clearly demonstrates that the children of today are aware that the adults of the world have not figured out how to stop the devastating world problems like the destruction of the environment that we collectively face today. They must see adults as inept because surely nobody in their right mind would allow processes like this to happen. It's very inspiring to see how aware kids are today...I'd say moreso than a lot of adults. The use of sending environmentally-conscious messages through songs the children sing and perform is very poignant and strengthens the core message of the series. With adults sometimes becoming jaded and cynical in their older years, it's comforting to know that the youngest generation has more hope and courage to do something that makes a reality-changing difference.

If tomorrow is theirs I don't want to be a part of it.
Bully_FU9 May 2016
This show was awful and full of agenda. I honestly don't know how they chose certain lines, clips, and "facts" to make the final cut. Surely there was better footage to use. I won't debate the science behind things like global warming, that's an argument and discussion to have elsewhere, but whoever forced these kids to say some of the stuff they did should be punished. I'm curious how much was forced on these kids by the director or producers and how much by their parents. A behind the scenes of this might have been worse than seeing the parents on Toddlers & Tiara's. I'm disappointed that HBO would air and produce a series so mind-numbingly stupid. The kids say ridiculous things like "Do-Do birds went extinct because of hunting. We did that! We made them extinct! We need to be careful so we don't go extinct too.". Then another kid spouts out "Global warming is a natural disaster. Natural disasters are things like floods and earthquakes.". In between ridiculous quotes being said by kids who are annoying they cut to even worse music videos featuring kids rapping or singing. Some of the things said are so out there and nonsensical that it's just frustrating and you want to do your part to ensure there is no tomorrow. Not only did they use more than their fare share of ridiculous quotes from kids but they chose certain kids who wearing masks or ridiculous animal hats. I'm fine with kids goofing off but if you want to use them to sell your point of view, which was clearly the case in the docu-series, at least choose likable kids who can speak in complete sentences. Most of the children were too old for them to considered "cute" and not knowing any better, I'd guess around 9 or 10. Sure kids that age shouldn't know the ins and outs of the environment and the struggle to preserve it but they should know the planet needs to be saved for more reasons than "Soon Long Beach will all be under water and that's a fun beach. That will happen before the rest of the United States or world has problems too and that's not fair." I wish I was making up some of these quotes but sadly I just finished watching an episode and can't get them out of my head, and I'm referencing them on my DVR for this review. Skip, definitely skip, like I said you'll want to do your part to keep these kids from having a world to grow up in if that's how intelligent they are and view things. I wanted to go spray a few aerosol cans in the air or burn some plastics but decided this review is better for the world at large.

Using children to peddle propaganda
jaimegonzales21014 April 2022
If you look at the list of actors involved in the making of this it isn't hard to see that they have an agenda, and they have no problem in using children to promote it.

If all these people sold their homes and quit traveling the globe I would have more respect, but the fact is they only want everyone else to quit using fossil fuels, while they themselves consume numerous times the ordinary human. This is hypocrisy writ large.

If you are already part of the climate change choir this will inspire you to do the same thing you are doing now, consume fossil fuels during the time you are alive, because you cannot read this if you are living in a cave saving the planet.

Perhaps if people would live the way they demand of everyone else on the planet then their claims might seem sincere. This is a completely insincere "plea" for you to deny yourself those things in life they enjoy.
