Our take
Lulu Is a Rhinoceros is a short animated musical special on Apple TV+. It is rated TV-Y and G, with songs about kindness and belonging. A dog who feels like a rhino faces rejection before finding friends; those moments may briefly sting for very sensitive preschoolers
Uplifting themes
Self-acceptance, kindness, and inclusion drive every song Lulu models courage and empathy despite being dismissed Simple social-emotional lessons suit preschool viewers
Story (may spoil tone)
On a quest to spread kindness, fun-loving Lulu embarks on the adventure of a lifetime, powered by new friends, courage, and catchy songs!
