r/CentaurWorld

Here's my hot take: This show should not be shown to younger children.

I love this show and started watching it right when it came out, however when I was scrolling on Netflix with my younger cousin, this show was on their Netflix kid account. Centaurworld yes is animated with bright characters and sets, but in the show it does handle some more mature topics. I do NOT thing it should be 18+ but I also do not think little kids should be watching it.

That's just my hot take feel free to chat in the comments (also hiiii im new here and wish I joined sooner!)

I just finished my second watch almost immediately after my first watch, and I’ve been amazed at the incredible continuity that I missed the first time through. So many things are mentioned or alluded to in S1 that are picked up or referenced or dealt with in S2. I initially thought this was a silly background show for doing HW or housework, but by the end I’m really moved by so many of the themes.

I read through a year’s worth of posts on this subreddit after the first watch. The theme I’ve been particularly thinking about is the importance of self acceptance and integrating the parts of ourselves we struggle to see or love. Some people would say our shadow side. This was such a powerful image and story about how refusing to integrate and accept ourselves, or cutting ourselves into pieces, ultimately leads to more suffering. It was also powerful to note that the suffering of the general/nowhere king caused suffering to those he loved and two worlds. This seemed like such an important antagonist arc set against that of the other characters who navigate mental health or childhood trauma.

I didn’t expect this silly show to have me so captivated that I would have to watch it all again.

Bro dedicated his life to trying to prevent people suiciding and expecting nothing in return, like rewatching the episode knowing what he thinks and hearing Horse’s dialogue is heartbreaking for him.

Bad Fairies was previewed at the Annecy Animation Festival along with the rest of WB's animated movies that will be coming out from now until 2028.
