There are children's shows you can watch with your kid not nearly as torturous as this show. The Wiggles, Octonauts, Word Party are a few. Cocomelon is BY FAR the lowest effort, brain-melting experience you could give your child. They basically use 5 royalty free songs with SLIGHTLY different lyrics each time, lyrics like "yes yes yes, peas are good for you. Ha-ha-ha, I like them oooh." You could torture POWs with it.

Keeps my son occupied
ToxicJug2 February 2021
Ok, let me start by saying I absolutely cannot believe that I've seen this show enough time to even warrant a review. But, low and behold here we are.. As an adult I find Cocomelon to be the most annoying show known to mankind especially given how many times I've had to sit through every single episode. From a film student perspective the animation is poor and their really isn't any originality within Cocomelon. From a dad perspective my 1 year old son absolutely loves it and it keeps him occupied sometimes for hours at a time and gives me and my fiance a break so hey, at least theres that. Its meant for babies and babies love it so I guess it does what it's supposed too
Great for toddlers but many issues
eyedalehimyt23 July 2023
Even though I'm not the target audience for this show, that doesn't mean it can't be judged by older people.
Cocomelon is an annoying recycled content purely made just to grab the ad revenue from the cheapest budgets. Some young kids will find the fun in this but not for me.
That doesn't mean that you shouldn't watch these YouTube videos, it's something to have your toddler get addicted to and have your kid get distracted for half an hour or two.
It's easy to hate Cocomelon but normally it's best to just let this thing go unhinged and try to avoid it as much as possible.
It's nothing surprising to find a low rating for this kind of movie and whether you would want your kid to watch to is subjective depending on what you want for them, but it just doesn't offer much and it will likely continue that way.

Mind melting
quintinrichardson31 January 2022
Overstimulating mind melting dribble. By far the worst show targeted for kids. You're kids mind is a sponge in the early years. If you want to give your kids a head start avoid this at all costs. If they absolutely need to watch TV between 1 and 5 years old. Superivise them, look up: bluey, Sarah and duck, the wiggles or watch some Disney movies.
The Worst
alienplanet6 September 2022
Cocomelon is the worst thing I've ever seen at least as far as something claiming to be entertaining goes. The same nursery rhymes are sung over and over in ever worsening voices. The animations look horrible and generic.
Cocomelon and Little Baby Bum are the lowest form of children's entertainment. There are so many better things to keep babies and toddlers happy. Just off the top of my head, I would recommend Caspar Babypants, Hey Bear Sensory, Steve and Maggie, literally anything else.
How people are rating this 10 is beyond me. Yeah, it might keep your little ones quiet for a while but it genuinely feels like it would rot their brains.
Horrendous.

Extremely annoying, repetitive, and a large amount of recycled material.
andrewqui-8208020 August 2021
Why do people have a deep hate for Cocomelon?
Because it's annoying recycled content that goes on forever and milks the heck out of baby shark. Yes it's for kids, but I have to listen to it too.. I'd rather listen to Blimpie.. The only plus is it's not Ryan.

Worst Kids Show Ever!!!

Genuinely the Worst Thing I've Ever Watched
rarepunkrock22 September 2022
My kids asked me to put Cocomelon on for them when they saw the graphic on Netflix. I can honestly say that this is my biggest regret as a parent ever. So bad in fact that I may never allow them to select anything ever again.
If you made this in your spare time, just for fun, then I suppose I wouldn't mind (and I'd be happy for you!) but since this is available on mainstream platforms I think it's fair to offer a real critique.
CocoMelon is awful. The voices, the animations, each episode's nonstop nature - these factors all combine into a headache inducing horror show that I wouldn't wish on anyone.
Just sing with your kids, play with them, give them toys, and, if they absolutely must watch TV, give them something more entertaining than this.
This horrible, hypnotic content is just bad. Really bad. Everything CocoMelon does is done better elsewhere.

Great Show For Toddlers
stevecookwrites7 September 2020
I've seen a couple of very negative reviews for this sweet, innocent show. I'm thinking some may be turned off because the stories portray an average family where the parents love their children and vice versa.
It's a simple concept that's designed to entertain young children, which it does. When my 2-year-old grandson watches, he's not looking for Pavarotti from Carnegie Hall or the dramatic readings from Jsmes Earl Jones.
Evidently, he's looking for exactly what this show has to offer. It's the only show he asks for by name.
Great for Kids Under 2
sarmstrong-5571518 June 2020
My 18 month old daughter loves when we put CocoMelon on for her. The songs are simple and cute and the family (although a bit creepy to us adults) are sweet and cute. Not sure why it's gotten such bad reviews - it's your typical preschool nursery rhyme show.
Great show for babies!
dylanh840331 May 2021
Ignore the bad reviews. Judging this show from a "film students" perspective is the most ridiculous thing I've heard. The show is fantastic for babies and I'm not sure why others are saying it "makes kids dumb" and "teaches bad habits". The point of this show is to entertain babies and begin to teach them basic things in the form of songs. It is repetitive so that they can retain the information, and the animation is slow and bulky because babies cannot process fast moving things. Overall great show and makes my 1 year old happy. If it bores you as an adult then play on your phone like we all know you're doing anyways...
A very below average preschool show
madelinefan-8058029 April 2022
Okay, now don't get me wrong, I'm a teen and I really shouldn't be watching this. But young kids, particularly ones under the age of 6 really deserve better content to watch and Cocomelon isn't that.
My first flaw with the show is that the animation is way too slow. I mean compared to another CGI show aimed at young children such as Ready Jet Go, which has faster animation, is much more interesting to watch and contains much better CGI. Which leads to my next issue with Cocomelon.
Secondly, the CGI is very vapid and resembles more like a shovelware PS1/Nintendo 64 game more than an actual show compared to other shows aimed at the same audience. I mean you'll see a huge difference when you compare Cocomelon with another CGI show like another popular preschool show (in this case, PAW Patrol). Unlike Cocomelon, PAW Patrol has pretty decent CGI and you can tell they took the time to animate the show rather than rushing to produce something that makes Bubsy 3D look like Super Mario Galaxy in comparison.
My third and quite possibly the most obvious flaw with this show is that is this show is simply for "kids only". What makes most preschool shows I like (namely, Sesame Street, Bluely, Alphablocks, and Cyberchase) is that those shows know that parents will be watching it with them instead of being something that'll distract an a child via over-stimulants.
Final Words: It's not good. Not the worst preschool show out there, but parents are better off looking for something produced by a company that puts effort into their shows such as Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount, Sesame Workshop, WildBrain, Nelvana, PBS, or BBC. The only thing that's keeping it from having a 1/10 is that it IS slightly educational to give it credit.

Please Gouge Out My Eardrums
remark39-122 November 2021
In the dystopian universe of WALL-E, THIS is the program that beams into children's brains as they rot into oblivion. I write music for a living, but hearing these "songs" makes me want to gouge out my eardrums and pray for a universe where music never existed.
So this is what gets 100 million subs these days
kevinmetehan13 November 2021
This looks like everything but educational. Plus having more subs than pewdiepie. Why does this get such good reviews form misguided parents. NO this is a mind trasher i lost a lot of brain cells seeing a video from it. Kids content took a dark turn by ether Using Ugly CGI and so called educational stuff (What cocomelon does) OR Milk trends.
Bad
mrandycapp21 December 2021
This show is bad in one scene they sing about washing their hear and one of the kids did not even have hair and he was in that very scene.
It's really bad and one of the worst show I have ever watched and it is one of the worst things that you can place in a small child's mind. My advice just don't make them watch it you should not watch it. I have one use for it, an torture device.

Don't let the next generation grow up on this.
kyawoomarco22 December 2022
I know a simple review isn't gonna save the next generation from the garbage Cocomelon but I'll try everything I can.
Just don't let your kids watch this.
It's age demographic shouldn't even be on a screen.
The show is effortless, the animation is horrible which is why comparing an animation to Cocomelon is a big insult for good reason.
I know it's for kids but kids aren't stupid, they're able to handle more than an effortless brainless 3D animated disaster poetry show.
There's a wider variety of shows out there that are much better than Cocomelon in which, the creators treat their show as something to put care and passion into, not of a cash grab lazy parents use to rot their babies brain on where the show runners can fill their bank accounts with millions and more money than a person can even spend in their entire lifetime.
The fact people genuinely give this a 10/10 because their child has their eyes glued to the screen with that overstimulating garbage that fries their brain like an egg on a pan and reduces their attention span to a pulp is beyond me.
Cocomelon is a perfect example of what you should not do when making a show for kids and is a horrible example of what a kids show should look like. A kids show needs to be enjoyable by all audiences.
As said by C. S Lewis, if a kid's story cannot be enjoyed by adults, it's not a good kid's story.
A good example of this is Infinity Train where a main recurring theme are dark topics like loss, divorce and change throughout life.
Avatar The Last Airbender and Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the main theme of those shows is War.
Gravity Falls, a show where a reoccurring theme is death and mystery.
And where do these shows land? Infinity Train gets an 8.4 and 10 episodes above a rating of 9 with only half of it's full run time, Clone Wars gets an 8.5 rating and 3 episodes with a 9.9, only Game of Thrones and Attack of Titan have more than that.
Avatar The Last Airbender has an episode in the top 10 and is rated 9.3.
Gravity Falls gets 2 9.8 ratings and a 8.9 rating.
Wanna know how they got this high?
Because they weren't afraid to touch dark topics and dumb down everything for kids.

Cocomelon... oh boy, how can I explain how much I absolutely hate this YouTube Kids Cartoon?
So, the franchise focuses on mainly babies, the main one being JJ. Nursery Rhymes play over and over again, and that's pretty much it.
Now, for my verdict on the franchise:
· Characters - they are as flat as a pancake and have absolutely no personality whatsoever.
· Songs - they're the same exact nursery rhymes you hear anywhere else and they repeat over and over again, enough to drive any older person insane.
· CGI animation - It's average at best, full of colour to bait toddlers.
· Plotline - What plotline? All it is are nursery rhymes, pretty much what LittleBabyBum already offers.
· The morals - There are absolutely no morals whatsoever in Cocomelon, and this is one of the major reasons why I dislike this YouTube cartoon.
· Is it worthwhile for Kids? - No, absolutely not. It's milked everywhere by Moonbug Entertainment and now it's airing on TV as well. Please... get it off television, Netflix and keep it on YouTube Kids. And parents, actually spend time with your kids rather than using this show as the babysitter, or put something else on that actually teaches educational values and morals - such as Bluey, or Sesame Street. Heck, even Peppa Pig has some educational values despite how flawed that show is.
Overall, I do not recommend any parent to discover this show and let the show brainwash their toddlers.

My kid loves this show.
malcolmthompson-8518213 September 2020
My kid loves this show...the opening scene with the watermelon and ladybug always puts a smile on his face. I understand this show is for kids, NOT adults, and it serves its purpose well. The music and story lines are simple, educational, positive, fun for kids and repurposes/reimagines classic nursery rhymes. Don't expect Pixar animation but you can expect your young children to enjoy what Cocomelon has to offer.
for little kids. maybe, not only
Kirpianuscus22 December 2020
It represents the perfect option for the education of preschool kids. Easy songs, nice drawings, energetic stories and nice lessons about ordinary behaviors. And ,for adults, good opportunity for discover the change of generations. The lyrics are not the most inspired, at the first sigh, but the freshness of stories and the delicate humor are just good points .
Very sweet program
smith-403659 August 2020
We first started watching Cocomellon on YouTube. My kids (now 2 and 4) have loved watching "babies" as they call it, for a while now. Most songs are familiar favorites and some are new, to us, and we love them. Very catchy and fun to sing in the car.
Who is jay jeon
sinahaase-960-74349728 October 2021
Question: Who is jay jeon? Creator of cocomelon? He's not even credited anywhere! I cannot find him anywhere in the internet either and I find that super weird lol.
Show is nice though but... I get sad when this show shows the kids doing super fun, cool things with their parents and having a backyard full of adventures...we don't have any of that :( maybe someday though. Not even the fun family days at the beach. It's just me and my 2 daughters and my youngest watches this show sometimes but I feel bad when I can tell she wants to do the same things JJ wants to. It's ok though for now. We still have good times together (me and my girls) even without the big house with bikes and fun family outings. Whatever lol.

Don t recommend at all
lailamalika12 March 2021
Monotonic annoying voices that Will make your kids the dumbest before they reach school, vary BADLY animated with weired restricted movements. Made for lazy parents and aware génération, a disasterous cartoon setting on Netflix.what a world de live in. What a shame.
