This attempt for a kid friendly Marvel show works for us. While I love the Marvel movies, they aren't really little kid friendly. This show has Spidey and his friends including Hulk and Black Panther help confront evil villains in their attempt to do bad things.

Fun animation, but it's a total copy of PJ Masks, where you have three child heroes who go after the same three villains, and one of them always had a lesson to learn. Plus, kids shows nowadays think their audience are a bunch of idiots.

My kids love watching it, even getting inspired to be a superhero like them to defeat the baddies. As a parent that HAS to sit through it, it's decent for a kids show...but there's other shows I would prefer to watch instead, because, "Oh look, another tv series where are the heroes are kids who save the day, villains are power hungry and only get a slap on the wrist, and adults are bumbling idiots who never get why they're kids are gone as the heroes show up."
I enjoyed the generation of superhero shows where the baddies get sent to jail or pay for their crimes instead of tying them up in the same spot that they were scheming their plan and never doing anything else with their repercussions. It's the reason why they are MANY baddies to take care of, to keep the series going. It's not so heroes tell the bad guys AGAIN to say, "oh well, you just need to behave better, have a nice day!" When kids get into justice, apparently a pat on the back is the answer, which is unrealistic, anticlimactic, and nauseating, for the real world. It just sets up kid viewers poor expectations to real life IMHO.
Why do the same baddies come back and monologue more than actually doing what they schemed? As a time filler, of course!
Why do the parents of Peter, Gwen, and Miles NEVER recognize their own kid's voices when they talk with them??? Unknown reasons.
Why do adults depend on KIDS to protect the neighborhood instead of taking over and handling the situation or are acting incompetent to do anything??? Idiocy.
Why does everything have to be a "talking through things to resolve the problem???" Feelings matter more than facts.
I just don't get it. I mentally eye roll whenever my kids ask for it, but I give them the opportunity to enjoy it...I just won't be...

Take the worst parts of PJ Masks and Paw Patrol and jam them together, and you get this vehicle for selling Spider-Man toys to kids. It's obvious that very little effort was made on this show; kids' shows don't need to be this dumbed down.
The writing is lazy, with supervillains using their powers for childish nonsense most of the time, and superheroes being called upon to solve problems that a lot of competent adults probably could. Throw in stock footage and copious exposition that's clearly just meant to be filler, and this show winds up being bloated garbage.
Lastly, renaming Gwen and Miles' superhero personas was unnecessary.

Ignore the reviews complaining that the show is too childish for them. It isn't aimed for them. Their upset isn't a fair review of the show. My kid is 3. He loves it. It's for kids his age and a bit older. It isn't for 30 year olds. To review it as such and with that mindset is silly.
This show is bright, colourful, fun, cute, well animated, well voiced with a great art style. It's not as educational as other kids shows; it's purely more about entertainment.
It's very similar to shows like Paw Patrol or PJ Masks. It's a great introduction for younger children to Spider-Man and the Marvel Universe.

It's very weird until it's funny the simulations can be improved and also the animation and take care of it that all the simulations look like dolls for two shekels.

Spidey And His Amazing Friends is a 2021 TV show that is created by Marvel Studios Animation (formerly Marvel Animation) and Atomic Cartoons for Disney Jr. It's a Superhero/Preschool series all about Spider-Man and his 2 friends (Which is Miles aka ''Spin'' and Gwen Stacy aka Ghost Spider not Firestar and Ice-Man from the 1981 series)
I just want to say that they ruined my favourite superheroes and they do lessions instead of the usual marvel stuff.
Doc Ock and Electro are girls now (The Female Electro is annoying in one episode) and i don't like Black Cat in this too as she's annoying too. Please Watch the First episode of the original 1981 Series than this werck. Spidey And His Amazing Friends is awful.
(Forgot to mention that the heroes and Villiains (Expect Iron Man) are all kids.)
1/10 stars because the animation is cute buttttttt.... I don't like the voices, the Adults annd Bad Plots...

I can see a few reviews indicating this show might be for an under 4 yo audience; as a parent of a 3.5 year old I agree but find this to be perfect for us! My son has always had a big interest in spiderman but we've struggled letting him watch it because of how violent or dark the other versions can be. That has surprised me for childrens shows but I understand they're marketed to older kiddos. When we found this show it is the perfect way of letting my son watch something he loves and often asked for but that is age appropriate. I also really appreciate the length of the shows. The cheesiness does not bother me and we actually really appreciate it and use it as a way of teaching our child certain lessons. Would recommend to oparents of 2.5 yo toddlers +.

It's ok. Not amazing but not as bad as some reviews make it look like. It's been renewed for a second season, so I hope it will be mentioned in some way in some multiverse thing in the MCU.

To begin with i was asking me so many questions i thought this would be a good show, but then i thought that this show ruined the original Spiderman and his movie Spiderman Into The Spiderverse and i think this show is just like Thomas And Friends All Engines Go but all over again and i hope the voice of Spiderman doesn't sound so childish just like Thomas ( All Engines Go) sounds his voice actor was Meesha Contreras, what a bad show.

I'm just unsure why people dislike this because of the appropriate approach to the kids with this Canadian produced animation. It's fun to see heroes vs villains when your kid is around and this animated show is no exception. This is one fun adventurous show.

There are kids shows that make an effort and then there's spidey and friends. Poorly written, bad plots and your child will learn nothing. Everyone associated with this show should be ashamed and not be allowed to work in slow again.

This is a great show, I love that Gwen Stacy and Ghost Spider are getting more love, she's my son's favorite character. However The Green Goblins nickname in the show "Gobby" is slang for blowjob in Australia. I can't stop laughing while he is trying to watch it. Congratulations.

It has its moments. That is all. Not to confused with Spiderman and His Amazing Friends. Even its animation is better than
This knock-off. Teen Titans go is better than this show.

Starting with this review, I have a new points system. Each show has 5 elements - writing, characters, music, animation, and voice acting. Each element will be graded out of 2. If they all get 2 points, the show gets 10 stars. So let's swing into this review
Summary: Spidey and His Amazing Friends is Spider-Man for the preschool market, which is Disney Junior realizing how profitable Spider-Man and the other lower-deck Marvel characters are. It features Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and Gwen Stacy.
Writing: The series has the child characters learning lessons like friendship and teamwork. While it's good for kids to learn these things, these lessons are becoming overused on Disney Junior. Kids aren't going to take away lessons from the show, they're just gonna ask their parents to buy toys. I'm not expecting Oscar-level writing, but at least do something different. Props for creativity with the setting though. And I do have to commend the writers for not putting Peter's backstory for the billonth time 1/2
Characters: Peter, Miles, and Gwen are now young children, and naturally they do childish things because of that - like argue over which ice cream flavor is the best. But they're each unique in their own way, and these differences and flaws contribute to their success. The villains are pretty entertaining because of how cheesy they are. Doc Ock would be far more sinister in any other production, but here she hams it up as a mere schoolyard bully with state of the art technology and I love it. 2/2
Music: I love Fall Out Boy and was pleasantly surprised with Patrick Stump contributing to the soundtrack. The theme song is very catchy and a nice change of pace from other Disney Junior theme songs. 2/2
Animation: The animation isn't the best, as it's rather blocky. I like the character designs and how they're super-deformed. Atomic Cartoons is better at 2D than 3D. That being said, it could've been worse. 1/2
Voice Acting; The voice actors are impeccable despite their age. They infuse energy into these iconic characters and make them seem like real children. Black Panther has a great actor with an African accent, showing us that he's from Wakanda. 2/2
Overall: 8/10.

Is it enjoyable for parents to watch? Not really, but do kids love it? Of course, it's Spider-Man. It's not a show that is educational, but it doesn't have a lot of violence or fight scenes like other Spider-Man cartoons will have. It doesn't really fit with the lore or Spider-Man universe, but rather an option for kids to still enjoy the Spider-Man franchise.

I grew up loving comics and Spider-Man was always one of the coolest ones and me and my 3 year old love watching together! Great theme song and score. Nice and simple and to the core of who the characters are and way better than watching coco melon or baby first or little baby bum where even new episodes half the time are repeating the same songs as before. I've reminded my son of many of the themes ex: remember hulk said you shouldn't throw things or people might get hurt! Toddlers struggle sometimes with patience, anger and frustration. I love watching and the bigger and smaller lessons they put in there are great !!
That's exactly what this is PJ Mask with a Spider-Man suit. Not saying it's bad, it's great and your kid may like it more if they already know marvel super heroes but it's super obvious. It's weird that miles goes by Spin and Gwen is ghost spider, I don't understand the reason for that but other than that you see green goblin and others. It's cute. I recommend it for kids 100%.

As a long time Spider-Man fan, I didn't expect anything from this show. I turned it on for my 3 year old niece who loves Spider-Man. The first thing that impressed me was the visuals; the textures and design on the costumes are incredible and surprised me for a Disney junior series. The writing was simple but super fun! The directing was dynamic and comic-esque. I like the colors that are used as well as the animation style. One thing that you need to understand is the real audience of this show could not leave a review on IMDb. This introduces important Spider-Man characters and characteristics to a young audience who will keep these characters respected and alive in the future. If you have kids or are babysitting or whatever, this is a good option!

To me, this show is very harmless and a bit action packed too. However, the reason why it only got a 5.7/10 rating overall was because of the toxic preschool haters. I used to be one of them back in my tween years, but by the late 2010s, I started to judge things by quality, and even started liking some preschool shows. I think the character designs in this show are cute, and the stories, while simple, are effective.
Somehow the show prefers introducing characters in shorts rather than episodes, which if you ignore the shorts, you might miss out. Otherwise though, this show is great, a bit fun and has okay CGI, better than the animation used in The Chicken Squad. I also want to note the studio behind this show also did 101 Dalmatian Street, which kinda says something. Please don't listen to the preschool haters and watch the show to form your own opinion. Have reasons to like and dislike it, I'm perfectly okay with that.

I don't care what you people say, this is a very great Marvel show for kids! Idk why the new Disney Junior shows keep getting low stars (6/10 stars), but at least Bluey has 9.6/10 stars! Anyways this show is a must watch for your younger kids. And I must say they need an animated cameo for Stan Lee to appear. Maybe one of his old voice overs! Anyways, I love the animation, cast, and art of this show. Just stop looking at the low reviews and just check it out! Oh Stan Lee, if only you were here to see this...
