Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart

**Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart** (commonly just called **Mao Mao,** abbreviated as **MMHOPH**) is an American action cartoon show, originally created by Parker Simmons and co-developed by Cartoon Network Studios and Titmouse Inc. The show revolves around the title character, Mao Mao, and his friends Badgerclops and Adorabat.

## Why It Rocks

1. Amazing anime-esque animation.
2. The show has a balanced mix of action and comedy.
3. Each character (including citizens from Pure Heart Valley) has a really likable personality.
4. Great character development, especially with Mao Mao.
5. The show also has some great continuity.
	* For example, in the episode '[./https://besttvshows.miraheze.org/wiki/Small\_(Mao\_Mao:\_Heroes\_of\_Pure\_Heart) Small]', Badgerclops learns that Mao Mao's full name is 'Mao Mao Mao'. Later in the episode 'Captured Clops' it is learned that he changed Mao Mao's contact info in his computer arm to 'Mao Mao Mao'.
6. This show tries to blend most of the Cartoon Network shows into one. *[./https://besttvshows.miraheze.org/wiki/The\_Amazing\_World\_of\_Gumball The Amazing World of Gumball]*, a show about a big-headed amusing blue cat who has a pet goldfish with sprouted legs as his best buddy, *[./https://besttvshows.miraheze.org/wiki/Adventure\_Time Adventure Time]*, a show about a male teenager who has a 28-year old dog as a friend living in a fantasy world, *[./https://besttvshows.miraheze.org/wiki/We\_Bare\_Bears We Bare Bears]*, a show about three different types of bears who manage to be brothers, *[./https://besttvshows.miraheze.org/wiki/Samurai\_Jack Samurai Jack]*, a show about a samurai warrior who makes a quest to return to the past undoing the destruction caused by a wizard, and *[./https://besttvshows.miraheze.org/wiki/The\_Powerpuff\_Girls\_(1998) The Powerpuff Girls]*, a show about three sugar-coated girls who fight crime and save the world before bedtime.
7. Occasional musical numbers that are extremely catchy and enjoyable.
8. Like [./https://besttvshows.miraheze.org/wiki/Bluey Bluey], Most episodes at the end teach the characters a lesson.
	* "The Perfect Adventure" have a good moral about it's not the right thing to lie to others.
9. The show keeps fart jokes and gross-out humor to a minimum, using this kind of humor only sparingly.
10. In “Thumb War” , a Nintendo Switch makes a cameo appearance.
11. The opening sequence is really warm-hearted.
	* Also, the closing credits song is really sad to listen to, but it’s still pretty good.
12. The costumes in the show look amazing because this show has lots of merchandise sold on Amazon.

## Bad Qualities

1. Some inappropriate scenes for a show aimed at kids are present. These are examples.
	* In 'Template:Terrible (that one infamous episode of this show),' Badgerclops inappropriately **makes out with and licks** a beignet, and cries afterwards ***"I'll never love like that again!"***
	* Mao Mao was twerking in “[./https://besttvshows.miraheze.org/wiki/Not\_Impressed\_(Mao\_Mao:\_Heroes\_of\_Pure\_Heart) Not Impressed]” (even though it’s still a good episode) over losing his tail.
	* "Mao Mao's Nakey" was the worst offender for two reasons
	* There was one disgusting clip where Mao Mao *licks his butt* in a Cartoon Network show, **for kids!** **We kid you not.**
	* It also had a scene where Mao Mao butt-wipes almost close to Chubbum’s face that can be spawned as an internet meme as taken here.
2. While the character Adorabat is still a likable cute bat character, she can be annoying or done something wrong sometimes.
3. Despite personality about Mao Mao's father (Shin Mao) explained properly in Mao Mao's past, the conflict between Mao Mao and Shin Mao [./https://besttvshows.miraheze.org/wiki/Small\_(Mao\_Mao:\_Heroes\_of\_Pure\_Heart) was resolved too fast].
4. It was put on hiatus in 2020 because the creator of the show took a big break and only 10 new episodes aired on that year.
