Sacrosanct
Legend
Had a discussion a couple days ago with my partner, as her 4 year old was talking about his favorite cartoons (which happen to be PJ Masks and Ninjago-- the latter which we limited because it's too mature for him, even if his dad lets him watch it). She made an observation. While media for older kids and adults is getting out of the "every hero is a male with one token girl on the team", shows for younger kids have not. Her son even made the comment that girls aren't as strong as boys, and can't be heroes like boys. Naturally that got our attention.
So what shows out there that are designed for younger than 7 have heroes that are primarily girl leads? My partner mentioned Powder Puff girls, but how that doesn't really count because they seem to make it a point to stress how great they are for making girls the lead, rather than a show where girls are the leaders but the show doesn't make a big deal about it. Also, that show is for older kids.
My research has resulted in Hilda (on Netflix) and Steven's World (on Hulu) that are both really good for showing how girls are the heroes and primary characters. However, in both cases, those shows seem to be for older kids.
so I'm asking for feedback if there are any shows that this community might be aware of. Are there any (like PJ Masks) with the characters being mostly female or gender neutral? For younger kids?
