I love this movie so much

Very well executed
Taraparain
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I thought that my husband and I (38 & 35) were out of our minds, even if the kids are napping or in school we still sit down and watch Jakers. We are serious Jakers Junkies. We watch it 4-5 times a day between sprout and our local PBS. I am so happy to see that we are not the only adults who absolutely love it. I will say the only disappointment I have is that there never seems to be any new ones, although the local PBS has shown a few that we have never seen on sprout, I was disappointed that Wiley's voice was different(not Mel Brooks) in the episode about the haunted shipwreck. Is this a permanent change? I hope not. Now I have to go and get ready for the 11:00pm episode after everyone else is in bed. Glad to see there are others like me!

I read of a 19 year old watching Jakers The Adventures Of Piggly Winks and, I and my husband are 38 and 40 and we watch it everyday. We think that it is the coolest show (although they should do more Mauri and Holly stuff) and we go out of our way to watch and or record it. It is the cutest show and whoever thinks it's for children should try and watch a few episodes of it and they would have a change of heart. It is a excellent show for children, teens and, adults of all ages. Good Irish theme.Characters are fun to watch and a delight to observe. Fun for the whole family.We highly recommend this program for someone who is seeking an unforgettable adventure. Jakers The Adventure Of Piggly Winks is a one of a kind show. -Curt & Lisa

This is the best children's program I have ever seen. It teaches responsibility, imagination, manners, multiculturalism and more in a most enjoyable fashion. The animation is beautiful and the stories are pure delight for both kids and adults. This is the one show I allow my 4 year old to watch every day and I enjoy it as well. Each episode follows the same format, a modern day Grandpa Piggley tells stories to his three grandchildren about his adventures growing up in rural Ireland. The childhood tales feature his family, his school full of adorable animal friends and his ever faithful companions, Ferny and Dannan (a veritable Ron and Hermione, if you will). They have wild imaginations and good intentions and truly, each episode is pure delight. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Found this show by accident skimming the Time Warner cable guide. Almost skipped it because of the name, which made no sense to me, but I flipped past the channel and was instantly captivated by the terrific animation. My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves Jojo's Circus and The Koala Brothers, and the animation was similar (better in my opinion) and the Irish accents on Jakers are charming (especially since we're Irish). After seeing a couple of episodes now, I love the stories and so does my daughter. They are not overly dumded down like too many kids shows. The show gives good messages in one of the most intelligent and fun ways of any kid's show I've seen. As I said, I have a 2 1/2 year old so I've seen a LOT! I was also certain I recognized the voice of the one sheep, and sure enough, in looking it up on IMDb, I found it IS Mel Brooks playing the voice of a hilarious character! The characters in this little show are extremely well developed and presented. I highly recommend it to anyone! GREAT little series!
