Go, Dog. Go! and 74 More Animated Shows That Your Kids Can Binge on Netflix in 2021
We adults may always be looking for new shows to binge on Netflix, but our kids are usually the exact opposite: they’ll sit contently in front of the same 20-minute episode of a show 300 times before even realising that they maybe want to tune in to something else. To prevent you from kid-show fatigue (you’re welcome) and to provide your child with a new world full of exciting characters to jump into, we’ve compiled a list of the best animated shows on Netflix.
Whether you’re looking for something for your child to watch after school, something to teach your toddler words, or something with a ton of seasons so you can get some well-deserved me time while they devour episode after episode, there’s something on this list for every young kid.
Scroll through for the animated shows your child can binge (responsibly) on Netflix.
