I admit I'm not terribly familiar with the show, though I did catch a few episodes here and there as a kid. It was clearly aimed at girls but hey, before the internet came along you just watched what was on. As a lifelong fan of animation I can say it certainly had one thing going for it though: the characters looked like people. It may sound strange but in modern TV animation that's a fairly rare trait. There's just so much competition to stand out that most artists for these shows make their human characters so stylized they're practically abstract in appearance. But you think about those 80's shows like Jem and He-Man and GI Joe, and the human characters all had relatively realistic proportions.
But I'm not going to lose sleep over this one lol. I'm well aware that I'm hardly the target audience for new animated series or how they design their characters. And if I get nostalgic there's nothing stopping me from tracking down the old shows online. :)
