Princess Power (2023– ) User Reviews

A Good Show For Younger Ones

[jeremycrimsonfox · 8/10 · 30 January 2023]

Princess Power is yet another new show in Netflix's long line of cartoons aimed at little kids to teach them things. And this one is for the girls who love to be princesses.

In the Fruitdom, four princess, Kira Kiwi, Beatrice "Bea" Blueberry, Rita Raspberry, and Penelope "Penny" Pineapple, are four girls from four different kingdoms (or Fruitdoms, as they are based on frutis) who are best friends despite their differences. When a problem arises, the four team up to take action to make a difference and prove to get things done, princesses wear pants.

Based on the book Princesses Wear Pants, Princess Power is a neat series for young girls. With its 15-minute episodes, it tells stories of the four making a difference in their Fruitdoms and doing what they can to help others and save the day. Each of the four main characters are good at skills (Penny is an aspiring scientist, Rita is good at crafting, etc), which shows the many career paths girls can take when growing up. The stories are heart-warming and the voice acting and animation is good. This is something to watch if you have daughters who like to be princesses, as it breaks the mold of how a princess should be portrayed, as these four are not there to be pretty.

Derivative

This show is not completely devoid of redeeming qualities. It does have some catchy, nice music and pleasing asthetic value with nice animation. However, the characters seem to lack dimension and all have personalities similar to one another. The gluttonous cat is unoriginal, a copycat of many whimsical, silly types of characters in plenty other movies and shows.

While a child is not likely to care about how derivative a show is, parents may be wary of enduring the content of another show such as this.

It feels very similar to True and The Rainbow Kingdom in overall presentation, except with weaker stories and less charm.

Cute show

My daughter is very picky with her shows & surprisingly took to this one well. It's very cute, the animation is great & the lessons are good as well. The choice to make them fruit princesses was also very adorable.

I love the choice to make the princesses Hispanic, Asian, Caucasian & Black, especially Hispanic b/c as a Hispanic I feel I hardly ever see Hispanic or Latin princesses so it is great representation for my daughter.

I think this show is very progressive presenting two fathers instead of a traditional straight couple for Bee, that is super awesome!

The lessons are really nice. I love that they show so much love & care towards animals & the people around them, not just each other. This show is a nice example of healthy friendships, kindness & even focus on or go over topics regarding science, plant life, astrology, art, insects, marine life, etc.

I also love the animal characters. They are super adorable & I love that a cat plays a main character role. The cat is fluffy but not glutinous, just high maintenance & prissy, but a kind cat overall so it works.

I also feel that they are not too similar, they all have different hobbies & "fruit cultures" but I wouldn't say they are carbon copies of each other.

I look forward to seeing how the characters progress & develop as the story carry's on. It's not the best show out there, but it is not bad. Very cute & adorable.
