One of the finest Apple offerings

Apple TV+ isn't that strong of a service if I'm being honest, but wow do they have good animated originals. Central Park, Snoopy in Space, Doug Unplugs, Wolfwalkers, heck even the puppet show Helpsters isn't too bad. Stillwater takes the cake as possibly one of the best Apple TV+ originals.

The show has a panda called Stillwater, and he is very kind, gentle. yet fun-loving at the same time. He's basically Mister Rogers in panda form. He lives next door to three kids named Addy, Michael, and Karl, who deal with basic everyday kid problems.

Instead of getting angry or upset with the kids, Stillwater is calm and patient with them, and teaches them how to solve their problems using stories from Zen Buddhist and Taoist folklore. The stories are beautifully animated in 2D.

The rest of the show is animated in jawdropping, photo-realistic CGI, worthy of Pixar. I don't know how to describe the music, but it has a very mystical, magical feel to it. Special mention goes to the credits song The Never Ending Dream by Kishi Bashi, which I wish was the theme song.

The show is very calming, heartwarming, and adventurous, and one of the finest efforts of Scholastic. Please check it out, it's an experience you'll never forget.
