Whenever I am watching Waybuloo with my 2 year old I keep thinking there are spiritual images appearing and I am not sure where they are from. Is there anyone who can tell me what religious messages are coming through this programme? For example, a wooden henge? Crystals, meditation or yoga positions? Not sure I am over keen on all this for the very young and not-yet-discerning to see.

Tatty Bumpkin is something really new and different, this is very spiritual and calming for both parent and child.

Oh and by the way OP, the imagery you are referring to comes from the general school of woo-bollocks-fuck-all ie a bit of yoga, a few crystals are the sort of things stupid people think are vaguely 'spiritual' by which they mean nice, kind, thoughtful, In Touch With Higher Powers and similar nonsense. Entirely harmless.

Somebody else posted this a while ago they had found a link on a christian site who were going crazy about it.
There is also some stuff on youtube about it.

I am not that bothered TBH DD watches it if it is on but she has never asked for crystals or yoga lessons after watching it so ho-hum grin.

I hoped DS would hate it but he insists on doing the farking yoga along with those poxy dribbling pink goblins. I am persuading him to rename them Wee Wee, Poo Poo and Nutjob though. ANd whenever he asks why they are doing something, or talking funny, I say 'Because they are stupid and not real.'

At least Chuggington is endearing...

Aaaaaaaaaghhhh aaaaaaaaghhhh aaaaggggghhhhh! Spiritual messages? Satanic messages more like! I hate it so much!

Needless to say, dd adores it and could name all the (horrible flathead baby-talking) characters after watching it about twice.

I hate it too, load of twee simpering bollocks. If it was peddling a bit of yoga/meditation/tree huggery hippy stuff it might be less sickmaking.
