This show is a load of dog poop. Instead of helping American children become less globally ignorant, it perpetuates and reinforces stereotypes about them! The show is about a group of children who attend school on a yacht that travels to different countries, and every country they visit, they slander their culture in various ways. As a Japanese American, I despised the Japan episode. Could they make us seem any more weird? The mother figure looked for work acting in a commercial for some obscene soft drink that had shrimp in it, dressed ridiculously in a poofy Lolita dress. Not only does such a drink not exist but it makes us seem gross!
The only other things represented were Godzilla and Sumo Wrestling. There is so much more to the Japanese culture than that! Another time was when the plot was set in India, where of course the only representations of Indian culture shown included snake charmers, strange foods, violent people, and a magic lamp. Disney is the epitome of ignorance in America.
