Downward Doghouse New Shows Wang Studios

Downward Doghouse New Shows Wang Studios

I always loved reading about Chinese culture and traditions since my childhood. I was 13 when I started attending my traditional Chinese language class. It is well known as Mandarin language. I also like watching animated Chinese cartoons on Nickelodeon. Actually the main purpose for watching these is my child. He loves watching Dora the Explorer (preschooler cartoon show).

I have read about this new Nicktoon due to be aired on Nick Jr. in 2007 titled Downward Doghouse. I am glad that Nickelodeon is airing a show that I feel would teach my child a thing or two about problem solving skills.

I have read that this show features a five year old, Chinese American girl named Kai lan, her relationships with her grandfather, her animal friends and the environment. She is emotionally gifted to understand how things work in the world, both physically and emotionally. Every episode follows the adventures of Kai lan and her friends that help them realize the sensitivity of the situation and come up with solutions to tackle the problems accordingly. I think this animation show will really be a good opportunity for my child to learn about Chinese culture, basics of Chinese language, and also encourage him to care his elders. I heard it is created by Karen Chau and will be produced in conjunction with Wang Films.

I am desperately waiting for March, 2007, the time when this show is to be aired. In fact, I would even purchase the videos if my child likes the show. It has 20 episodes of half an hour each that will definitely help my child to explore the world along with Kai lan.
