The TVI Take

DreamWorks/Netflix preschool series anchored by live-action Gabby and her animated dollhouse cats. The structural commitment, that each episode is built around a craft, recipe, or creative-thinking task with a real-world outcome, is rare streaming-preschool work that respects audience participation.

The growth-mindset language is explicit rather than implicit.
