# Bo on the Go!

Bo on the Go! (stylized Bo on the GO!) is a Canadian-animated children's television series created by Jeff Rosen, Michael Donovan, and Cheryl Wagner and produced by Halifax Film in association with CBC Television. It emphasizes the importance of movement for children through a plot element called "animoves" (animations showing specific body movements young viewers must learn in order to solve adventures highlighted in each program's storyline; the name is a combination of 'animal' and 'move' as these movements are represented by animals, such as a galloping horse). The series was broadcast in Canada on CBC Television in the Kids' CBC programming block.
Bo on the Go! is currently broadcast on 18 broadcasters around the world, in over 13 languages, such as Spanish, French (retitled 1, 2, 3, Bo!), Italian, Greek, Arabic, Thai, Finnish, Hebrew, Portuguese (on Disney Junior under the title Bo, em Ação!, lit. 'Bo, in Action!'), Turkish, Hungarian, Chinese, and Gaelic. Bo on the Go! aired from September 3, 2007, to March 1, 2011. 55 episodes were produced.

## Overview

Bo lives in a castle with Dezadore the dragon. He is younger than Bo, and is really curious and often gets into trouble as he is not as physically adept as Bo. Bo's mentor on the show is Wizard. When she encounters challenges, he gives her advice and knowledge of how to achieve the quest at hand, typically giving said information in the form of a rhyme.

## Reception

Bo on the Go! received mixed to negative reviews.
Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media gave a show a rate of three stars out of five, stating it "does very well, tasking viewers with numerous physical assignments from twirling their fingers to running in place, under the guise that doing so feeds Bo's power bracelets and gives her the energy to complete her quest." She noted that the show's plot is "very repetitive, and because the emphasis is so directed at exercise, it misses opportunities to incorporate other basic preschool skills that many of its peers do." She concluded, "some missed opportunities keep it from being the total package in a tots' show."
