MORE DETAIL:
PRINCESS POWER is an animated series on Netflix about four young princesses, Kira, Bea, Rita, and Penny, who work together to help people in their “fruitdoms.” The princesses face challenges and use creative problem-solving skills to “help those in need.” MOVIEGUIDE® recently reviewed the first three episodes of Season Three.
During Episode One, the princesses are about to have their coronation ceremony. However, they discover their fruit silo is damaged and the citizens of their “fruitdoms” need more fruit seeds. So, the ceremony is postponed. The princesses learn of a “Cave of Sparkle Seed Secrets” that might have the seeds they need.
The princesses sail to the island with the Cave of Sparkle Seed Secrets and find the seeds they need, as well as seeds for fruits they’ve never seen before. However, they are briefly trapped in the cave by a large crystal that blocks their way.
Episode Two starts with Princess Rita Raspberry being approached by two girls in her kingdom. The girls are concerned about raspberries disappearing from the berry patch. They need the berries to make cookies. They plan to sell the cookies to raise money to put a water fountain in the park.
The four princesses camp out at the berry patch and try different ways to catch the animal stealing the berries. For example, they try building a trap and luring it out by singing a song. Will they catch the animal and discover its identity and origin?
In Episode Three, Princess Bea Blueberry is tasked with transporting 50 blueberry pies to a special event. She drops them and asks the other princesses to help her make replacement pies. Princess Penny Pineapple creates a special oven that will bake the pies faster. However, the machine malfunctions. It shoots the pies out too quickly. So, they fall on the ground.
The princesses don’t have enough blueberries to make 50 more pies, so they mix the blueberries they have left with other berries to make one big pie. However, they can’t get it through the castle doors for the special event. Can the princesses solve the problem?
PRINCESS POWER has high production values, with fun, colorful animation and a song in each episode. Each episode presents an interesting challenge for the princesses to overcome. So, children will enjoy watching their adventures.
The worldview of PRINCESS POWER is overall moral, with a strong emphasis on helping people. In each episode, the princesses make a “pinky tea promise” to “help those in need.” The first three episodes of PRINCESS POWER: Season 3 are not objectionable, but parents should be advised that other episodes feature a same-sex couple. For example, Episode Five of Season 3 has a same-sex wedding.
