What's the Story?
EUREKA! transports viewers back millions of years, to the Stone Age. The young, bright, and confident main character, Eureka, uses her "thinkering" to solve everyday problems, and make life in Rock Falls a better place for everyone. Adventure is always in her sights, alongside her two best friends, Pepper and Barry, and her trusty pet, Murphy. Everyone knows Eureka doesn't "fit in," because she wants to be different, and do things that have never been done. But she doesn't mind; she embraces it. Eureka's father, who's a potter, and her mother, who's a restaurant owner, always support their daughter's creative and pioneering ideas. Once inspiration strikes, Eureka's got it covered! She uses everyday materials to engineer outstanding gadgets and machines, singing and dancing along the way.
Is It Any Good?
Disney Junior has done a terrific job in creating this bright and upbeat show. Eureka! is both innovative and inspirational. Viewers will be captivated by the beautiful animation and sing along to the fun tunes. The stories are both educational and entertaining; everyone will want to be Eureka's friend and build alongside her.

Did we miss something on diversity?
