Netflix parents, rejoice: CoComelon is heading to Disney+

Per Deadline, Netflix’s relinquishing of the CoComelon series, which predominantly features CGI toddlers singing nursery rhymes, because of a 60% decline in viewership, aligning with a presumed uptick in treatment for CoComelon viewers—namely, parents catching on to the show’s empty calories and addictive qualities and banning their kids from watching it. Nevertheless, the spin-off series CoComelon Lane will remain available to Tudum-based subscribers. The move will coincide with a 2027 CoComelon movie and the arrival of the horsemen Death, Famine, War, and Conquest, heralding the Apocalypse to the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.”

Experts believe that CoComelon is harmless for children despite concerns and exhaustion from parents. A 2011 study revealed that watching nine minutes of fast-paced programming could impair a child’s executive function. A 2015 follow-up study rebutted the findings, concluding that the “fantastical content” harms executive function more than the speed of delivery. In both cases, the effects were short-term. However, the impact of MrBeast and his vast array of supposedly edible Feastible products has yet to be determined.
