Reception
Andrew Clark of Maclean's said that the show has "fanciful settings" through having Mumble Bumble reside in a windmill at the base of a lake and features "everyday childhood trappings".[6] The South China Morning Post said Mumble Bumble provided "rainy Sunday fun for the kids" through its edutainment and animation.[7]
