Expert review
Maya & Miguel is an American animated series broadcast on PBS Kids, aimed at children aged 5 to 9, following the adventures of Hispanic twins who look out for their multicultural community while learning about respect and solidarity. The series regularly incorporates Spanish words and phrases explained in English, as part of a thoughtful educational and cultural outreach approach. The content is virtually free of sensitive elements: no violence, no fear, no inappropriate language, and no depiction of substances. Parents will appreciate the positive representation of Hispanic culture and the message of family solidarity, and can encourage their children to pick up a few Spanish words along the way.
Synopsis
Centering around the lives of pre-teen Hispanic twins named Maya and Miguel Santos and their friends, the program is aimed at promoting multiculturalism and education in general. It is geared to the 5-9 age range. Part of the dialogue in each episode in the English version is in Spanish but only individual words or phrases which are explained in English.
Difficult scenes
Maya tends to meddle in other people's lives and launch plans that sometimes go awry before resolving positively, which can create minor relational tensions between characters. These situations remain light and are always resolved in a constructive spirit, without any excessive dramatization.
