Plot

Les Minijusticiers is a local series where the stories tell the ordinary life of children aged six to ten embodied by anthropomorphic animals. Each story takes form of a funny and light fable, systematically punctuated by an amusing and relevant moral.

The slogan of the series is "Mini-problems, maxi-powers, everyone will be the hero for a day"

Bad Qualities

1. Smilar to other awful superhero shows like Supernoobs, Atomic Puppet, Dr. Dimensionpants, SheZow or Sidekick it suffers from a truly cliched and disappointing concept.
2. The plot, although original, unlike other horrible superhero shows, is poorly executed.
   • It has a similar plot to Disco Dragon, another much better French show, but even though Disco Dragon came out long after that show, it does run it well, unlike that show.
3. It contains to the brim with toilet humor for example one of the powers of one of the minijusticiers is that his fart is toxic. Yes, really!
4. Poor knowledge of source material: Unlike the books and its previous show that tell the story of a person with a problem and their problem becomes a superpower, this show has nothing to do with that, the plot is that a child has a problem and they will see the group of superheroes.
5. Plot Hole: How did children get their superpowers?
6. Hypocrisy: The majority of the characters are poorly represented, sometimes they're good guys, but in other episodes they turn around and reveal themselves as stalkers.
7. It suffers from sexist stereotypes. One of the vigilantes is a girl. She has a power that allows her to summon rain while crying, which a stereotype in which women constantly cry a lot.
   • And on top of that, her crying is very annoying to listen to.
8. Poor flash animation, and it doesn't help that it was animated by Futurikon, who made another infamous French show.
9. Lame writing with a repetitive plot.
10. A scene change image contains a scene where the minijusticiers especially the women, are strong and muscular.
11. Quantity over Quality: The series still lasted 11 years with 3 seasons and more than 230 episodes.
12. Season 3 is considered the worst of the show, it came out much too late, has an even worse mastery of the source material than before and bad dubbing similar to Titeuf.

Good Qualities

1. The plot is quite original despite its flaws, and at least it doesn't make the plot of the arrogant kid who becomes a superhero.
2. Some fans of the book may enjoy it.
3. The first 2 seasons remain decent unlike season 3 but not enough to go to the sister wiki

Reception

The series received a mixed reception from the public but negative from critics, it holds a 6.3/10 on IMDb as well as a 5.2/10 on Senscritique even if it has gained a cult following.
