Plot
The titular 4-year-old Nina goes to a variety of settings, like the zoo and the beach. In each location, Nina finds she "needs to go" to the bathroom after becoming too engrossed in play, and the mission is to get her there before it is too late.
The scenario is familiar to parents of toddlers the world over and inspired by real life. Sarah Cox, Creative Director and CEO of ArthurCox has explained: "Nina Needs To Go is based on my real experiences with my daughter. Dramatic car journeys, missed trains and a back track through the whole of the Alhambra in Spain in search of a bathroom are real situations that have inspired each episode. A fabulous creative team has helped us create action-packed 'race against time' scenarios to excite and amuse a family audience."
Why It Had an Accident and Couldn't Hold It in Any Longer
- Nina can be very unlikeable in many episodes.
- Poor attempts at learning.
- Horrendous and unattractive character designs.
- Quite poor voice acting.
- This short-form cartoon is, once again, one of those generic and unoriginal short-form cartoons featuring Nina and her grandma Sheila.
- Bad animation, with characters moving in a stiff, young girl-like way.
- It tries too hard to learn and be smart with the kids sometimes.
- Flat characters that the writers constantly try to add depth to but fail.
"Because Now I Know, Don't Wait to Go" Qualities
- Okay intro.
- Colorful backgrounds but executed poorly.
