Doc McStuffins: Pet Rescue/Baby/Ultimate Safari/Arctic Rescue/Toy Hospital

Doc McStuffins makes a concerted effort to forego stereotypes. Doc and her family's interactions reflect preschoolers' vivid imaginations and greater awareness of people's jobs through role-playing.

A kind, pint-size doctor patches up toys and serves some nice lessons along the way ... with a caveat or two.

Disney has been doing a great job with their new characters in the past few years--Doc, Sofia, Miles, etc. I love how Doc is so smart, so very sweet and friendly, and she makes me wish that I had taken such good care of my own toys when I was young.

Three year-old Louisa is dazzled the show’s bright colors and quick pace, for sure—but she’s also responding to the series on an emotional level: Doc McStuffins offers the nurturing fantasy that children have some control over their world, and can choose to be good and comforting to those around them.

First episode we watched depicts a mass causality situation where a broken toy bombards a large group of other toys with marbles to break them too - toys are shown laying on the ground and breathing heavily and being carried away on stretchers.

Thank you Disney, for finally making a show that features a girl who isn't a princess or a princess-in-training.
