Rosie's Rules is a children's animated television series created by Jennifer Hamburg. The series premiered on October 3, 2022 on PBS Kids and October 11, 2022 on TVOKids. [1] [2] The series produced by 9 Story Media Group and its animation division Brown Bag Films. It is funded by Target and McCormick and animated using Toon Boom Harmony.
The series follows 5-year-old Rosie Fuentes as she investigates and learns about the area around her San Antonio, Texas home. Through a multicultural (Mexican, southwestern, and midwestern) lens as her father is from Mexico City and her mother is from Wisconsin, she learns about community with her cat sidekick Gatita. The show is primarily in English, but it blends in Spanish words and phrases. [3] [4] Each story builds on a preschooler’s budding understanding of a concept (how the mail works, transportation, family relationships) and extends the learning from there. As Rosie figures things out, the answers – along with other astute discoveries – become Rosie’s Rules. These “rules” range from the silly (“Don’t try to mail your cat to Mexico.”), to the sweet (“There’s nothing better than making your Abuela happy.”) to the practical (“Sometimes, flopping helps you get your feelings out.”). They will also punctuate what Rosie’s learned in the episode, bridging the curriculum takeaway and the heart of each story.
Every episode starts with Rosie singing the song "I Gotta Know." It typically consists of Rosie's interpretations and exaggerations of the episode's main subject. Each song has the same melody and tune but consists of different lyrics depending on what Rosie is wondering about in the episode. In some episodes, like “Cat Mail” and “Rosie and la Monarcha” Rosie’s calls Abuela before the “I Gotta Know” song.
It is preceded by Rosie feeling overwhelmed by a confusing situation. She then, in an effort to relax, declaring to flop and rapidly descends to the ground. She then recites in pausing to inhale, exhale, and wiggle. Then she points her index finger upward, gets up planning to figure out adding "vamos a ver" (a Spanish phrase meaning roughly "we'll see").
It is preceded by Rosie is calling Abuela (her grandmother) to do different things or for help with the problem she is trying to solve. After Abuela says “Adios Grannito de arroz”, then Rosie says “Chao Bacao” and ends the video call.
At the end of every episode, Rosie sings about the curriculum, she later turns into Rosie’s Rule.
