Apple TV+ has hit the jackpot with a new children’s animation that delivers wholesome morals via dreamy visuals
The home-working parents of young children can develop an unusually involved relationship with their streaming services. To bestow co-parent status on an inanimate object may seem extreme – even if it does have Bluetooth 5.0 wireless technology – but it’s whatever gets you through the pandemic, right? And if we must park them in front of a glowing screen every once in a while, it’s good to know there’s something not only harmless but actively wholesome.
Apple TV+ came late to the streamer game, but they already know the playbook: lure subscribers in with starry prestige drama, then get them hooked via the pester-power of their offspring. This is presumably the thinking behind Stillwater, a high-end animated series that arrives just weeks after Doug Unplugs to further bolster the service’s programming for kids.
