Our take
This series’ illustration style and colors are so soothing—a blend and pop of color to make a calming universe, where fantasy elements are introduced with no prior context but fit in snugly with the warm vibes. Hilda and other characters approach things with softness and trust in their communication, which gives both the show and the viewer a feeling of safety and self-assuredness. If you love a good overall gentleness to your shows, you’re in for a treat with Hilda: the writing is excellent and friendly, the humor is on-point when it comes in, and the beautiful lore develops at a welcome, inviting pace.
Synopsis
Fearless, free-spirited Hilda finds new friends, adventure and magical creatures when she leaves her enchanted forest home and journeys to the city.
Storyline
After living in the magical forest all their lives, a young girl, along with her mom and her deer-fox, moves to the city to make new friends and encounter even more mysterious creatures.
TLDR
“Well, that was traumatic. But such is the life of an adventurer.”
What stands out
It feels like it incorporates the best Adventure Time and Steven Universe quirks in a super tender, vaguely nostalgic way. It’s a 10/10 in pure vibes.
