So, Nickelodeon decided to grab some cash by making a show out of a song that only little kids under the age of 6 like, I'm Reviewing about a show that's directed to kids, but i just dont like this. The animation looks like Breadwinners, The Song is Annoying. And I'm betting that this Show won't last until its 1st or 2nd season. Painfully Abhorrent. A good thing i can find is probably the background colors, they look attractive for little kids. But not much that. 2/10

My 6,4 and 3 year old started watching this and lost interest during the 1st episode.
I asked why they didn't like it, they said just that it was boring.
So what's mean to a child, boring?
I gather from what I saw, its unnecessarily loud, and have the basic formula that many Nick shows use ... so yes boring.
There is absolutely no creativity here.
Then you go onto the voice actors, other than Daddy Shark they are all missing their mark.. did the director not notice this.
Stay away from this lame cartoon.

A couple of years back, my sis took me to spend a night or two at her place. On the way, she asked me to play a YouTube video of the song "Baby Shark" on my iPhone. When I asked her where she heard the song, she told me she heard of it at a school program.
Upon seeing that YouTube video, I thought it was just another video of a song aimed at children. This was until I heard the news about the video generating more than a billion views. The song went as far to spawn merchandise, and even a TV show which I am reviewing here.
The Nickelodeon show featuring the Baby Shark character was announced about a year ago. After that, screenshots of the show began appearing in ads in the Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. channels. Some time after that, short music videos started showing at around Halloween. This time, the first episode of the series, which is a Christmas special, is aired. As to what I can say about the show, I find it a mixed bag.
Unlike most animated shows today which are in CGI, Baby Shark's Big Show looks like it's in traditional animation. To be honest, I'm fine with traditional animation as that type of cartoon was something I grew up with. Another pleasant aspect is that all five sharks mentioned in the hit song are shown already in the first episode. But if there's anything that gets me kinda unimpressed, it's in the voice, particularly that of the title character. True, Baby Shark sounds pretty expressive, but he sounds more like an adolescent girl than a lad, therefore I'm not sure this output fits his character.
While I appreciate the cute look of the show and Baby Shark himself, I can't say that I feel the same way about how the title character sounds. With that said, I recommend this series only to die-hard Baby Shark fans.

I mean the animationnis good but, this feels like a cash grab. I mean, "A Baby Shark Show"? Who asked for this? Baby Shark ahould stay as a song, but never be turned into a tv series.

This show has a LOT of wasted potential. This show has some funny moments, but the show has an overabundance of telling you it's about baby shark. It's an obvious cashgrab, but not as painfully bad as ryans mystery playdate. This show has some good bops too, and some actors/actresses with musical talent too. The main character falls in nick jr's most overused trope, a protagonist who is kind of a jerk. This show reminded me of The Backyardigans, but the show's charm and beauty stripped away for a CASHGRAB. Why not just reboot the show itself? It also had alot of unnecessary things that didn't make sense (why is baby shark's last name brooklyn?). Overall this show had a lot of wasted potential, but this show isn't the worst.

The worst song of all time doesn't deserve a TV show and I hope this show should get cancelled after Season 1.

This show isnt horrible, not the least. Is it amazing? No. Cocomelon is way more annoying. Baby Shark meets Spongebob is basically this show. It's ok, my daughter loves it, she's 3. Did you guys think this was made for you, as an adult? Well it wasn't...hell it's on Nick Jr for cryin out loud! Again not bad, but not Bluey.

All those negative reviews complaining about a show aimed at toddlers for being "too childish" are hilarious.
Remind me a lot of the people who hated Dora, Barney, Peppa Pig and Caillou back then.

When I learned that a TV series based on a highly popular children's song was going to air, I was sorta looking forward to it. But upon seeing the ads and reading some news article, I was disappointed that this show goes against tradition. I wish the studio picked a boy instead of a drag king for the title protagonist. While I have fandom for animated shows, I'll never in my life watch this insulting cash grab.

I remember when this show was greenlit in 2019, and I was extremely angry because Nick Jr was essentially selling out, plus I personally find the Baby Shark song to be incredibly annoying.
The fact that the Breadwinners creators are working on the show (Breadwinners is one of the most hated Nickelodeon shows ever) lowered my expectations, and I'll be honest, I went into this show expecting to hate it and I was already prepared to dub it the worst kids cartoon of 2020 (however, Mighty Express took that spot). However, it was actually....kinda entertaining?
The theme tune uses the classic Baby Shark song and revamps it a little bit, so it's kinda better than the original show. The animation is colorful, bouncy, and expressive. Some of the writing and jokes were clever, and for a second, I forgot I was watching a preschool show.
As another bonus, the show doesn't have any of the fart or butt jokes that made Breadwinners so hated. One thing I appreciate is that Brooklyn (Baby Shark) is a flawed protagonist. She isn't perfect, but she's not a brat or bully like a certain bald child, and she overcomes her challenges and obstacles in a relatable way for kids.
I really do think that society was evolved past the need for perfect protagonists who can do no wrong, and Brooklyn proves that it is possible to create a flawed protagonist without alienating your target audience.
I am sure young kids will like it, but if parents are sick of the Baby Shark song, they probably won't. Also, the show isn't all that educational either, but I have lived through the Paw Patrol era of Nick Jr, so it's kinda foolish to go in and expect something that will enrich your kid's mind at this point (shows like Blue's Clues and Santiago are exceptions)

This show is better than what it was thought to be. Baby Shark's Big Show has really good music, the backgrounds are pretty, the animation is fluid, and the theme song is catchy.
Sadly, this show is overlooked as a cashgrab and ratings will be low since people are like that but this is really cute and myself and my niece sat around and watched it together.
We first had Ryan's Mystery Playdate, and that was an awful show, then we had HobbyKids Adventures, and that was also an awful show. So, with waning ratings, Nickelodeon greenlit a Baby Shark show. Originally, I wrote this review with early impressions in mind, and I gave it a 3 out of 10. But honestly, my opinion on the show has changed a little, and you know what? It's alright. The music's fine, the animation is OK, the voice acting is good, heck, I even laughed at some of the jokes. Of course, there are some cons, the humor is (sometimes at least, like I said, I laughed at some jokes) not always great, and there was one really stupid thing in the first episode. Baby and a fish named William try to get a tooth out, but they keep struggling. So they, get this, tie an anchor to Baby Shark's tooth, and throw it in a water warp. That's such a dumb idea, and guess what? It worked. What did I expect from a show directed by the masterminds who created Breadwinners? But anyways, the show is passable, and should always be remembered as "The show everybody but me hated on because it was based on an annoying song".
Are you kidding me? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? They made THIS show that is based off THAT most viewed song on the Internet THAT'S SO CRINGEY. Also, I agree with the others who think this is bad. This show was clearly made to help boost the popularity of that mot viewed video EVEN MORE??? Bruh. Nickelodeon, you need to take extra measures before allowing stuff like this to be put on tv. Also this show had a crossover with Bubble Guppies, Nick Jr's (presumably) most popular show, which makes it worse, which is why people need to STOP POSTING ABOUT BABY SHARK ONLINE.

My Toddler loves Youtube Baby Shark - requests it all the time. We watched this because I thought he'd be a fan but was bored pretty quickly.
Me, on the other hand, have some 3 specific reasons as to why I think that might be:
1. Character design has changed significantly for the worse e.g. Nose connected with white around mouth in this version, gills added, proportions exaggerated and the basic shapes behind the form of the characters not as smoothly rounded. This made the character's significantly less cute.
2. The voices just didn't suit the characters. The youtube version had a higher more melodic tone (even when not singing) and had a childish quality about it - which appeals more to children. (Even the grandparent sharks in the youtube version sound like a caricature of what an elderly person would sound like. Which is a good thing for helping toddlers distinguish the difference in age.)
3. The colours aren't vivid enough in the Nick version. Why would you desaturate colours for a show aimed at young children? The brighter the colours, the more appealing to toddlers.
Honestly, if the 3 things above were fixed, it would hold the attention of my toddler. To hold my attention I'd like a better story but the plot isn't doesn't hold much weight in comparison to the visuals and sound for my toddler.

If you want to know why it made a big mess for Nick Jr., then you will read these following reasons below:
1. The "All I Want For Fishmas" episode has a scene where it looks like a ripoff to the same scene from a Yo Gabba Gabba episode that is also Christmas related (Though I like pop-culture from different shows, but dunno)
2. Baby Shark and William state the obvious in their own episodes and songs, which gets too annoying
3. Chucks in my opinion looks like some kinds ripoff to Muno and Toodee
4. The Baby Shark song itself gets overused every episode
5. The "doo" repeating is annoying.

There are so many great things about this show! Starting with the extremely diverse cast and the very relevant cultural themes. For a show that isn't overtly educational, it really tackles some difficult themes, like adoption, racism, and protesting (plus, many others). It even highlights an LGBTQ family. I am SO proud to have a son that loves this show. I'm so happy that his generation has such great representation for diversity! And let's not forget, every episode has a new song. While not every song can be a winner, some of them are really great! My entire household sings some of the better songs regularly! This show is cute, fun, bold and captivating to young audiences. It's my family's favorite young children's cartoon.

Baby shark was really big back in 2019. So big that it became annoying to hear even a note of it. But when I heard that they were producing a show on it, I was like "oh no, this can't be". But after checking it out, it's honestly a pretty wholesome show and feels like a Family Guy for preschoolers. But then again, I'm not even close to the show's demographic and I personally think that a preschooler would enjoy it! Hopefully it will put PAW Patrol into it's grave.
