- Comment: This is a bit early for an article, so I'd wait for there to be more coverage. In most cases a TV series won't gain notability until the series airs or until very, very soon before it airs. It's the same issue with films, honestly.

Development
The show was originally developed as part of the Cartoon Network's International Artists Program, and was greenlit for a series in July 2019 [2]. The first season premiered on August 20, 2020 on HBO Max.
Reception
Common Sense Media rated the show at 4/5 stars, stating that "The silliness will draw kids in, but parents will appreciate all the great stuff secretly woven through each episode."[3] Mashable also gave a favorable review, writing that it had "perfect balance between the soft, safe world of children's programming and the deadpan absurdism of emotional exhaustion — y'know, but with mushrooms. And dinosaurs. And, oh yeah, that talking stump."[4]
