Why It Rocks

  1. Awesome voice acting.

  3. Creative premise consisting in a school where the students are nephews or nieces of famous fairy tales characters who share personality traits with them.

  6. Colorful backgrounds.
  7. Cute character designs, which is also pretty unique for each character, especially the female characters.
  8. Despite being aimed at a specific audience consisting of girls age 7 to 11, the show features content that can be enjoyed by a wider audience.
    • Funny humor, especially when it comes to the protagonists' interactions with the magical creatures.

    • A bit of slapstick gags, especially by the protagonist Rose.

Bad Qualities

  2. It ended to early as it only has two seasons with 52 episodes.
