But when his relationship falls apart and he turns to me for comfort, I cave immediately.

One is super white with golden brown hair and one is brown with dark hair lol so I think this show isn't just trying to be "different" but more relatable to others and not just the majority or stereotypes.

(Her kingdom had desert, palm trees etc.) maybe? Maybe not? And I love that the twins are not identical. The animation is not the best, but the content is good enough to make up for it. ![]() When you think it might drag, they speed it up instead and I really loved that. It's not super corny and each episode has some very captivating narration.

I have a deep love for what I'll call the "opposites attract-animal buddy" story, and while comparisons to Arnold Lobel's inimitable Frog and Toad are inevitable here, Skunk and Badger, for me, evokes my all-time favorite opposites attract-animal buddies, Mole and Rat from The Wind in the Willows (you can read my reviews of recent adaptations of this classic here and here). Klassen's illustrations bring this already vivid story to life with a palette that roots it in the natural world.
