Ray Richmond Variety One also has to admire the theme of animal protection that's relayed here with nice subtlety. And Curry and Flea clearly are having a splendid time. Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Molly Horan Refinery29 This show had one of the best voice casts of all the Nicktoons shows, which included Tim Curry and Gretchen Wieners (Lacey Chabert) herself. Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Terry Kelleher People Magazine A new kids' show that's wild. Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Betsy Wallace Common Sense Media The Thornberrys live a fantasy life, for sure, but the series explores the real customs of many different cultures and the real behavior and habitats of countless kinds of animals. Rated: 5/5 Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Elliott S Really great show that even as an adult, it's still throughly enjoyable. This was a show, as a 10 or 11 year old, id never given a chance. I thought it looked stupid at the time(more about me moving into my teenage entertainment phase of The Real World and Dawson Creek)& that was dumb of me! I'd recommend this show to anyone who has Paramount+ and is currently enjoying all those early Nick shows like Rocko, Ahhh Real Monsters, Hey Arnold and Rugrats. If you're able to love those as a full grown adult, then this one needs to be enjoyed as well! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/19/23 Full Review Luciano B One of my all-time favorite cartoons and a staple of my childhood. The premise is great, the execution even better, the characters are wonderful and the show is highly educational; with emphasis on geography, ecology, environmentalism and cultural diversity (without being preachy). Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Evan L I don't remember the characters looking that creepy, but I do remember the show being balanced and fun for everyone, and it still is! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/16/20 Full Review Read all reviews
