Some scenes when the characters are rescuing magical creatures are action-packed and suspenseful. For example, the characters take wild rides on the clouds that result in falling and dangling from a skyscraper. No one is hurt.

Entertaining series for everyone!
Awesome family series! Every member of the family enjoyed this series. It’s a continuation of the adventures from the Abominable movie, but even better because the other characters actually play a role in each adventure. Very entertaining stories, no bad language or other nonsense that we are constantly screening for nowadays. In addition, the kids are loving the violin now and asking to hear more classical music. Both our 5 year old and 8 year old are also learning about another culture and enjoying the diversity in this series! I hope they keep going for more seasons.
