Super 4 (TV series)


Super 4 is a French-German animated television series that began in 2014, marking the 40th anniversary of the Playmobil toys that inspired it. It features a band of heroes who protect the inhabitants of the disparate worlds of Kingsland, the Enchanted Island, and the City of Technopolis, against calamities and enemies. It was commissioned by France Télévisions and co-produced by Method Animation, Norman Studios, Vision Globale, DQ Entertainment and Morgen Studios. It began airing August 2014 in French; English dubbing was done later. The series has been broadcast by several channels worldwide, such as CITV in the United Kingdom and Minimax TV in Central Europe, and in the United States, the terrestrial KidsClick block carried in syndication by stations associated with television station owner Sinclair Broadcast Group.

Synopsis

Super 4 is essentially a crossover story which combines disparate Playmobil toy worlds of fairies, pirates, medieval knights, scientists, robots, dinosaurs and aliens, by depicting them as inhabiting neighbouring islands in an amorphous ocean.
The titular “Super 4” are Alex, a medieval prince, Ruby, a pirate, Twinkle, a fairy, and Gene, a scientist, who along with Alien, a cute bunny rabbit, are united in being exiles from their respective worlds who have banded together to have adventures, fight villains and save their worlds from calamities.
The series starts with the heroes already established as a team of adventurers who travel about in Gene's shape-shifting vehicle, the Chameleon, with their exploits related in an episodic story style. Later their back-stories are revealed via a series of 4-part origins stories. The first of these story arcs, Ruby Queen of the Seas, relates how Ruby ran away from the pirate world of Gunpowder Island after being told that as a girl she couldn't be a pirate. The second origins story arc, Gene Techno Explorer, shows how Gene escaped from the authoritarian city of Technopolis, populated by scientists and robots, to explore the outside world in defiance of claims that it was toxic and uninhabitable. Finally the Origins arc tells of how Alex ran away from Kingsland because he felt stifled by his schooling, and went on to meet the diminutive Alien, a refugee from a lost world, and later the fairy Twinkle who was fleeing the Enchanted Island of fairies, witches and trolls after accidentally turning the Fairy Queen into a frog.

Reception

gave the series a generally positive write up, describing it as “an entertaining CGI series... multiple settings and themed characters make for some fun crossover plots.” They also felt it offered positive role models: “Friendship and a common goal unite the heroes despite their very different personalities... the heroes stand up to villains at every opportunity, putting themselves in harm's way for others.” However they also had some criticisms, notably that “some female characters come off as fairly dim at times” and cautioned that “Parents need to know that Super 4... doubles as a lengthy commercial for Playmobil toys”. Regarding the target demographic they said “parents... will enjoy the show nearly as much, thanks to witty writing.”
Writing for the website Geek Dad, Jamie Greene said “My kids were riveted to the screener episode we were sent.” However, like the Common Sense Media reviewer he had misgivings about the portrayal of female characters: “Alex the Knight is a brave knight. Twinkle the Fairy is a brainless dope.... notice anything troubling in those gender portrayals?” Despite this, he finished his review by saying “I think it’s safe to say that we’ll be watching more.”
In The Globe and Mail, Kate Taylor looked at the very concept of making TV series about toys. Initially she contrasted Playmobil's ethos with that of Lego in a favourable way, writing: “In the highly segregated world of children’s toys, Playmobil gets better marks for battling sexual stereotypes as male and female figures can play a variety of roles. With Lego, you get the predetermined sexual stereotypes of the movies.”
However, she went on to criticise Playmobil's decision to follow Lego's example in turning their toys into a TV series: “Will naming Playmobil figures and identifying them with on-screen characters in TV and film help children play better? No.” ... “It’s a sad day for those of us who... still believe that children can invent their own stories.”
