Review of ""Middle School Moguls""

This is a very high energy show with 3D animation about middle school kids
who go to a fancy private boarding school called The Mogul Academy. They learn
how to become young business moguls. (The show is based on some dolls that they
started selling in 2016) The lead character is Valeria (voiced by Olympic gold
medalist Laurie Hernandez), and most of the focus is on her and her girlfriends.
They learn how to have confidence in themselves and turn their dreams into
products they can sell. It's a very unusual concept for a kids' TV show.
Apparently a lot of kids nowadays are into starting businesses.
The show
is fun and has a lot of futuristic stuff, like buses that fly, and hoverboards
that are more like Harry Potter broomsticks than anything we have now in
reality. Jane Lynch ("Glee") does the voice of Victoria Steele, the Headmaster
of Mogul Academy. Tim Gunn ("Project Runway") plays Wren, a non-binary teacher
in the Mogul Academy Fashion Branch.
I think most children would enjoy
this, especially girls. I think it's a great idea to encourage kids to be
creative and to work hard, but I'm just not sure that kids that age should be
thinking about making money. They should be learning about the world and
themselves, studying, and playing. I don't know if it's a good idea to add
capitalism to the curriculum for middle school kids.
This is a four-part
series of specials, so it's not a regular show.
