The title is Spanish for "danger", fitting considering the subject of this piece, Kitty from Danger Rangers, a...weird E/I children's series. featuring a team of anthros that set out to help children (and even adults) while informing them about proper safety in their respective areas. It features many familiar voice actors such as Rob Paulsen (Yakko Warner, Pinky) voicing a mouse agent Squeeky, Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker, The DCAU Joker) voicing turtle agent Bert, and Grey DeLisle (Arkham City Catwoman, Kitty in T.U.F.F. Puppy and the current vocal incarnation of Daphne Blake) voicing Kitty herself.
Despite the format, the characters actually do show something of a badass side to them, such as their seal leader Sully operating a number of secret agent-esque equipment and Kitty here performing flips and defensive moves that seem almost out of place in a series more focused on teaching your kid that fires are bad. But honestly, the series flops in that it seems like it wants to be something of an anthro superheroes narrative, and yet it keeps sidetracking itself to be the safety crews that frequented assemblies during my elementary school days. And I think the series kind of hinders itself in that respect.
Granted, I get that the idea is to teach the kiddies about safety in various ways and such. But the series itself is pretty upfront about it. Sometimes, it'd be justified, such as when Sully and Kitty told kids to evacuate a burning building via instructions real fire fighters would likely give. But at other times, it seems like they're contractually obligated to stress "life vest this" and "lock the pills that". I just feel that such a series like Danger Rangers would fare better if it just allowed itself to be a heroes narrative and then had the safety tips be a side thing.
And like many series of its kind, this show has song numbers. How bad depends on the subject matter and words, but generally, it's not that great. Especially since anything can lead to a song rather than some decent cues, such as an offhand reference about a safety matter completely unrelated to the characters' main plot. But I guess the kids gotta have the lesson rammed in via earworms, don't they?
So the quote is not necessarily meant to be derogatory or anything. It just simply came to mind as I made this "fridge magnet", especially considering how they always manage to show up to help, especially when it's the dumb things kids will try to do.

I know that Is is over a year late to respond, but I felt that this is a good review you wrote. My opinion was that it was an OK show, In that I liked the characters, and the sort of action-hero stunts and stories you described in your review. Also I liked many of the music videos somewhat in contrast to your opinions. But yeah, it would have been perhpas interesting if they had made an animated show about anthropomorphic animals involved in action adventure wiht the safety stuff toned down a certain degree. Frankly I think it would be neat if there where made a steady, great action-aventure series involving a group of anthro-animal heroes that was far more straightforward.
Kitty was rather cute, though and I loved her action-girl moments. That magnet image looks very nice and cute as well.

Me too. Not tghat there is anything wrong about how to escape fires, how to cross the street alive and safe, to never treat medicine as candy, and such. But most often I can see many times which direction the show would have taken off to if the safty elements were toned down. The animators and writers did a good job with the cretion of the characterscetain story points and action sequences. We need more shows like that. Especially in an age where there are barely any cartoon series on television anymore, with the CW being the only major network to air animation on Saturday Mornings (mostly showing reruns of "Justice League", as well as anime like "Sonic X" and "DragonBall"). It's gotten depressing that whenever I turn to ABC (the American Brodcasting Company) and CBS and they have nothing on but infomercials, weekend versions of their morning news shows, and those Littlon shows.
Yeah, it is depressing how the Saturday Morning cartoon has faded to nothing. But that's more or less a result of the times. If there are entire channels that air animated series, then there's really no need for such blocks. Anymore, the closest I see to anything akin to the Satmorn experience is something like The Hub premieres.
