Some Fridays arrive with the mood of a holiday. The snacks are ready, the living room turns into a mini theatre, and your kid suddenly becomes the world’s most serious film critic—“This one is boring,” they declare, 11 seconds in.
That’s why today’s drop feels like a small win. On 19 December 2025, two new kids TV shows have landed—both light, animated, and made for easy, “press play and relax” viewing. One leans into ocean-side mischief with quick episodes. The other serves classic fairy-tale magic in English, with witches, giants, and that comforting promise that things usually end well.
If you want to explore more titles in the same lane after these, browse kids TV shows once you’re done—consider it your “backup plan” for the next time someone asks for one more episode.
What Released Today: The 19 December 2025 Kids Lineup
Here’s what joined the library today (both are AVOD, meaning you can watch with ads—useful when you want “free” to be a real thing, not a debate):
-
Chota Small Shark (Kids/Animation, 2025) — 26 episodes, family-friendly rating.
-
Super Fairy Tales (Kids/Animation, 2025) — 40 episodes, English audio, rated U/A 7+.
If you’re building a weekend watchlist, these two new kids TV shows also complement each other nicely—short-form fun on one side, story-time vibes on the other.
Chota Small Shark: Fast Episodes, Big Ocean Energy
Chota Small Shark is built for the kind of attention span kids proudly carry these days: short, sharp, and always moving. The show introduces Chota Shark and Crabo as best buddies, with a troublemaker named Hammy creating the kind of mess that turns every day into an “adventure.”
What’s genuinely handy is the bite-sized format—episodes can be as short as about 5 minutes (perfect for “one episode before homework” or “one episode while you tie shoelaces”).
Since it is labelled as non-dialogue, this kids TV show fits homes where kids learn language at their own pace through pictures and music. Caregivers can guide eyes to faces and actions. Even if the menu shows an audio language, nonverbal humour works through signs that anyone can read. A funny face stays funny in any place. A chasing gag needs no translation or dub for young viewers.
Why this show works for families:
-
It’s quick to start and easy to stop—no “just 20 more minutes” bargaining.
-
Friendship is the anchor: two buddies solving problems together.
-
The tone is safe and light, so it suits everyday viewing without you hovering like a censor-board committee.
If your child loves repeating favourite bits (“Play that crab part again!”), Short episodes are basically a blessing in disguise. You get the joy without giving away your whole evening.
Super Fairy Tales: English-Language Magic With Classic Story Comfort
If Chota Small Shark is snackable fun, Super Fairy Tales is the warm cup of bedtime cocoa. You get English audio and a premise that feels like a fairy tale. Kind kids and bold heroes meet witches, giants, and magic, while courage and love lead every step. ZEE5 carries it. The library adds 40 episodes, about 12 minutes each. Each story of this animated series feels complete and keeps kids calm.
It’s also a bigger library drop: 40 episodes, with episodes around 12 minutes long—long enough to feel like a complete story, short enough to avoid restlessness. The rating is listed as U/A 7+, which makes sense for children who enjoy story structure, characters, and a little more narrative detail.
What makes fairy tales such a parent-friendly genre is how they quietly teach without sounding like homework:
-
consequences without scary realism
-
bravery without lectures
-
imagination without chaos spilling into your actual house (mostly)
And yes—this is also the kind of show that makes kids ask questions mid-episode. “Why did the hero do that?” “Can giants be good?” It’s the nicest kind of interruption, because suddenly screen time becomes conversation time.
Which New Kids TV Show Should You Start With?
Picking between these two new kids TV shows depends on the mood in your house (and the time on your clock).
Start with Chota Small Shark if:
-
Your child is younger
-
You want quick episodes that don’t demand long sitting
-
You need something playful during breaks, meals, or travel-time at home
Start with Super Fairy Tales if:
-
Your child enjoys “once upon a time” storytelling
-
You want English listening time that feels natural, not forced
-
Bedtime viewing is the plan, and you want stories that wrap up neatly
Either way, this is a rare situation where you can’t really pick wrong—because both shows are designed for easy entry. No complicated backstory. No “watch 12 episodes to understand the plot.” Just press play.
How To Watch These New Kids TV Shows Without Turning It Into A Negotiation
Kids content is best when it doesn’t come with a side serving of drama (from the viewer, not the show). A few real-world tips that actually help:
-
Use episodes as rewards, not bribes. One episode after homework lands better than “fine, take my phone.”
-
Pair short + long. One short episode from Chota Small Shark, then one story from Super Fairy Tales. It feels like variety, not restriction.
-
Set a “final episode” cue. Kids handle endings better when they can see them coming.
And if you’re planning a weekend binge, these new kids TV shows are easy to stack into a family schedule: short bursts on busy days, longer story-time when everyone finally sits down.
What To Watch Next If Your Kid Loves These Shows
Once your child enjoys a show, the next question arrives immediately: “What else is like this?”
A simple path:
-
If they love animated adventures and silly characters, stick with more kids animation style content.
-
If they love story-led episodes, explore more fairy tale and moral-story formats.
-
If they love quick episodes, short-form kids series will keep your screen-time routine sane.
Today’s two new kids TV shows are a good “starter pack” for the rest of December—especially when you want family-friendly content that doesn’t require you to pre-watch everything like a detective.
