The new Series starring Kiara Muhammad and Loretta Devine will Model Good Health, Hygiene, Compassion and Nurturing
How sweet is this! African American cartoon characters don’t come along everyday. So it’s always a treasure when I see positive cartoons like little Doc Mcstuffins who is the model of what every little girl should aspire to be. She’s a good citizen with a big heart, has a great career and compassion and does good in her community.
As a mom of some darling little girls I welcome Doc Mcstuffins because this type of cartoon is much needed in our community.

I really love to watch animated movies and especially Disney series even at this age. I will surely watch this cartoon as it seems really interested. My little one will also be happy to join me in watching this series. 🙂
Really found this post interesting! I’ll be pinning this on pinterest!
Thanks erica!
Thank you for your awesome post here! I think most kids and parents want to go to see Diesneyland in person…
Animated series..something I am always crazy about. It is my childhood passion to watch cartoon or animated movies or series and still I can’t leave this habit of missing any of my favorite series. Hope I grow up. 😉
My 4 1/2 and almost 3 year old boys love this new show. My oldest, Daniel, is very sensitive when he hears an ambulance and thinks someone is hurt or sees someone in the grocery store with a cast on. On both occasions, he cried. Now just 6 months later, I’m glad this show has come along and he can watch it. It shows a kind way of healing (explaining everything) and both boys really enjoy the music.
Thanks Christine for sharing. And I agree. A show like this will truly help kids understand what goes on when something happens to them and it’s not a scary thing when they get fixed up. Doctors are “safe” and there to help!
Thanks Juliette. I don’t think any of us will truly “grow up” 🙂
Thanks
How awesome that Disney has finally created an animated show with a black main character! I love it. We are white, my daughter loves it (new favorite show), and I’m thrilled that she recognizes that the little girl is not white!
I’m surprised I heard noting about this, it’s always good to see more black cartoons.
I have a 3yr old with a wonderful imagination. We got her a doctor costume for Christmas. When she watches the show, she’d put on her dr coat and say “I have a diagnosis!” I love the show it’s educational and has a positive role model to look up to and aspire to be.
