Phenomenal!

Nothing to dislike about this program. My grandson was visiting and I wanted something different then the regular programs because after a short time I'm ready to turn it off. Was on YouTube scanning and clicked on this program and I am so glad and grateful. Doggyland is phenomenal and I was enjoying it! Not into Snoop Dog but I think he hit this right on! It is cool, very musically motivated and very now, the dancing, vivid color, characters aren't weird looking, just so much positive things to say. Snoop Dog EXCELLENT 👌 I can even learn to dance! Really enjoyed Family Barbecue! He should get an award, thank you so much for this wonderful program.

What's the Story?

DOGGYLAND is Snoop Dogg's kid-friendly series of YouTube videos, with a group of colorful 3D animated puppies singing and dancing to popular nursery rhymes like "Wheels on the Bus" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." The puppies are led by an adult dog with braids voiced by Snoop himself. Some videos feature educational lessons like reciting the ABCs, while others focus on social-emotional skills like kindness and sharing.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (3 ):
Kids say (3 ):

Preschoolers will be drawn to the vibrancy of the characters and the catchy rhymes, while adults can rest assured that none of Snoop's adult-oriented interests make their way into the videos. He does a good job narrating and singing as the "Bow Wizzle" character, and the channel features helpful messages about self-confidence and diversity. It's nice too that the video about sharing goes beyond the concept of sharing material items, and emphasizes the importance of being able to share your feelings with others. Doggyland's production value isn't exactly dazzling -- the characters and animation have a pretty generic look -- but little kids aren't likely to care.
