I think this is a fine show and got my son to stop watching Bob the Train which was much, much more harmful for him. As far as the situations it gets itself into, it is to convey to the child what happens when you do certain things so the kid doesn't try them. Also I don't get the Chernobyl and Russia comments I see on here. The show is from the UK it says so on the IMDB page...
I watch with my child and I reminisce over how innocent and how my growing into a boy looked as I watch
I do appreciate the sweet humor and so does my child. We enjoy and laugh and take note of how fun danger can be

Who thought "hey I'll make a plotless show about an idiot goat-rat who causes mayem" and then what adults at Netflix watched and then green lit this as content? I don't know but THANK YOU because this show, and only this show, delights my 2 year old to literally no end. I don't understand why on Earth watching a hideous mutant rodent sustain repeated injuries does it for him, but that's for his future therapist to figure out. He stands in front of our tv shouting "boowa" until I agree to turn it on, which I do because nothing is better than the sound of his joyous baby laughter filling our house. I truly hope we all can find something that brings us as pure a joy as this dumb show does for my son.

As an adult, I think it's weird. Kids love it. It's short and to the point and it's visually entertaining. It's no different than the concept behind Wile E Coyote and the Road Runner or Tom & Jerry. I see some people concerned over the antics in the show. He gets into trouble. If your kid is eating coins, this show isn't the problem. 🙄
It is the favorit serie of my four years old nephew . And , for enigmatic motif, mine too. Because a strange character who seems , at first sigh, a beard old man, than a sort of rat, in final a version of Mr. Bean, works, in absurd situations, in slices of near reality, in the most seductive manner. And any explanation do not work in this case. Short, just charming of bizarre, maybe because Booba ( in Romanian booba = boil ) .is just what you feel as good/reasonable refuge.against daily stress.

Centuries ago, the Pope banished the faerie folk from the sun-soaked land to the bleak and cold underdark, ending a thousand-year war between our race and theirs.
Today, a lone goblinoid called Booba has traversed the tunnels of Gloomdaste and emerged from the Prison Gates of Fey Duun only to find the once proud Overworld.... abandoned. Where have the enemies of underrealm gone? What manner of fate has befallen humanity? Will Booba meet this same end as he explores the devastated landscape in search of answers? He must continue on his quest for the world of men has come to an end. Now begins the age of Booba.... -------- This show is so annoying that the only way I can sit through it is by making up terribly dark backstories for the ridiculous characters, but I do it for my 4 year old daughter who LOVES Booba 😩. I guess it isnt a bad show. It's silly and the animation is pretty good, I just find it am uncomfortable watch. But for real, where are the people at? He spends every episode breaking into homes and businesses trashing everything he interacts with and practically without consequences! Is it too difficult to add in a few human adults or kids to act as voices of reason and Booba and his weird friends wreck everything?

Started watching this with my gfs kids and love it. The creature is obviously a mutated beast escaped from the chernobyl exclusion zone. Like the other review it unleashes destruction while exploring houses in a hilarious way. Capitalism will finally crumble at the hands of comrade Booba! Long live the soviet union!

My child loves this, but I literally have to leave the room as the noises Booba Makes make me physically ill. I appreciate that they've made a languageless cartoon, but every noise sounds a bit like he's vomiting to me.
Curious Booba and his adventures, exploring differnet things. My 2 year old is obsessed with the show! I watched along with him and love how famous movie dance scenes are incorporated. He has imitated Booba bowling, playing basketball, dancing, etc. Great entertainment for kids.

What on earth is this thing meant to be anyway? A disgusting little bearded troll who can't speak and who is surrounded by equally ugly little trolls and badly animated animals.
Firstly there's no dialogue, just a bunch of grunts, and the characters don't actually do anything that kids can find helpful, they just do badly thought out gaffs that are really obvious. So basically you're subjecting your child to a terrible slapstick 'comedy' without any speaking. Great.
No idea why or who makes this sort of cartoon, it's such a waste of time and efforts and my kids get bored of it quickly because it's so samey.

For some reason this little guy is addictive to toddlers. I've a bother putting it off after the screen time as my wee one LOVES Booba.
So does my dad but that is a different story lol

At first I was leary about Booba. But after watching it with my 2 yr old & watching how my 2 yr old interacts with Booba, I think it's the best cartoon out there. I don't have to worry about not liking what the characters say, how they come across, or weird hidden innuendos. Booba keeps my 2 yr old on his toes & keeps his attention for HOURS! He watches the same episodes & is as excited to watch them as if it were his first time! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
At first glance it's a cute show about a baby Yeti having adventures, but my 5yo son developed behavioral issues after watching it. I guess it's supposed to be slapstick comedy, which would be fine for kids old enough to know it's just fiction and they can't really act like that in real life, but Booba routinely misbehaves and get into unsafe situations that little kids try to emulate. He eats non-food items, breaks glass, destroys things, climbs ladders and furniture, and gets his head stuck in things. There's no educational value, no dialogue, and Booba is never supervised or punished. Everything just turns out fine in the end after he completely destroys his environment and causes mayhem with zero repercussions.
My son began climbing the furniture, playing with electrical cords, and throwing things after seeing Booba do those things. We have had several accidents that almost resulted in my son getting seriously hurt. He used to be able to play alone in his room but now we're having to re-baby proof the house and watch him closely again. Last week he threw his little chair across the room and nearly shattered a window, if it had hit just a few inches to the right we'd have had a sliced up kid and broken glass everywhere. Many times I've entered the room just in the nick of time to stop him from trying to climb a bookshelf or dresser and jump off just like Booba.
So yeah, Booba is now BANNED FOREVER in this household.

Booba is a slapstick comedy show intended for small children which can probably best be described as anti-educational. There is no dialogue in Booba.There is grunting. As far as plot is concerned, there is none. Instead, the rat-gnome protagonist just kind of does things. What kind of things you may ask? General mayhem, destruction, and you know, all the things you don't want your kid doing. I do not recommend this show for you, your children, or anyone.
Boba is a goofball who gets into trouble in different situations. It's silly. It's harmless. It's fun. And it's short. They're 3 or 4 minutes so it keeps everyone's attention. Not much story. Just fun.

Parents who rely on this garbage to distract their children have lost the battle of wits with their toddlers.
Giving the devil his due, the soundtrack, High quality graphics and animation are understandably engaging for toddlers. . .and mindless parents.
My 3 1/2 year old Granddaughter loves him.laughs hysterically'
I like it also
Wierd but funny
Original
Booba is very funny for young kids, just like silent films (Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd...), It's burlesque. Something new at each second, and most of the time with classical or famous music. Excellent show.

What on earth is this show?! I can't stand that thing, he sounds like a creepy old man trying to get his jollies on. The storylines don't make any sense, though I suspect there isn't meant to be a storyline. I don't understand how this show is for children, because Booba is not pleasing to look at, and the noises he makes are weirdly concerning. There are SO MANY excellent children's cartoons, I don't know why this one has airtime. I wish I could give zero stars.
