Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
One of the best television shows for the toddler crowd, Jay Jay the Jet Plane proves, just as Toy Story did, that computer animation is hardly daunting when characters and stories are thoroughly engaging. Adventures in Learning gathers five short episodes, each featuring Jay Jay, the diminutive delivery plane with a (more or less) human face. "A Trip to Skylandia" finds the airborne hero doubting the existence of a castle in the clouds (as drawn by best friend Tuffy), until he's swept into Tuffy's imaginative vision. "Jay Jay's Butterfly Adventure" concerns loving efforts to find a winter home for a winged pal, and "Tuffy's Trip to Pangabula" features an exciting race to transport a tow truck across an ocean. While visually splendid, these tales are finally about the spirit of adventure, the virtue of persistence, and open minds. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the best toddler shows ever.
Nothing gets killed or blows up. Good life lessons and great characters. I was proud to be a joystick-animator on this series.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great
I purchased this for my grandson who loves Jay Jay. He enjoys it very much.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - You don't have to see things in order to believe in them? Jay Jay may not be a good choice for secular families.
The Skylandia episode makes clear that there are underlying messages in Jay Jay supporting religious faith. The kinds of messages I found in this show would help open up any child to any manner of theological, mystical, new agey nonsense. If you would prefer your toddler learn critical thinking, then avoid this show. I had no idea there were religious overtones in this show until watching this episode, then searching for "Jay Jay Religious" on a search engine.

The Skylandia episode discusses a castle in the sky, and immediately when Jay Jay says "I don't believe in castles in the sky because I've never seen one", he is asked "Do you have to see something to believe in it?" I would actually hope I teach my children to say "why yes, I do!".

The final words of this episode were "And that's when Jay Jay learned not to close his mind on things he couldn't see, and if you believe in something in your heart, it's true." Why not just show your 2 year old an episode of the X-files and tell him Bigfoot and Alien Abductions are real, too?

This show is probably great for people raising their child to believe in their own faith, but as a secular parent and critical thinker I find this to be a poor message to send to impressional young toddlers. If my child believes in his heart that he will fly if he jumps off the roof, it's true? There are much better shows for kids this age that send a message to kids to think like Blues Clues.
