Shows for preschoolers use higher pitched voices that they hear and decode better at that developmental stage.
They also feature characters with big rounded bobbleheads that they relate to better.
These are a few of the things from early childhood development research findings that were taken up almost immediately by the children’s television industry.
We all lose hearing in the upper frequencies as we age, but young children with smaller ear canals really understand high pitched voices better than low ones. And this show is targeted at them.
I don’t know about the voices thing; when I was pre-school aged I enjoyed Ringo narrating Thomas the Tank Engine.
I can somewhat get the concept of styling; it’s just human psychology in general. As much as I love Prodigy, there’s characters that could have used a lot more stylization and as a result end up looking really creepy; this is especially common among previous Star Trek characters. Lower Decks was much better about its stylization in some ways; it had a consistent design language into which all characters, including classic ones, were translated, and it stuck with it (with the exception of a few background characters in early season 1 episodes as well as this one freakish human ensign with giant ears).
However, the preschool show’s style feels so cheap, soulless, and generic; they didn’t do it well.
@StillPaisleyCat It’s not that I can’t hear the voicework, it’s that the voicework is seemingly intentionally awful, even for preschool programming. Contrast to, say, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood or Carl the Collector, which manages to target that age group without screaming every line.
You won’t get any debate from me that the Canadian produced shows for younger children are better produced. Especially the ones produced for public broadcasting rather than commercial.
Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and many other PBS children’s shows are actually coproductions with production companies that work regularly for public broadcasters CBC or TVO (Ontario’s public broadcaster).
TVO does have to answer for launching Paw Patrol though. It started here, enabling Spinmaster (originally an educational toy company) launch a toy line and a show together, and then able to absorb many classic American toy lines such as Erector, Etch-a-Sketch and Melissa & Doug.
We always found the Nickelodeon and Disney show the lowest quality options when our kids were small. Even the Corus commercial cable channel shows for children were better.
