      Yeah same, it’s such a unique idea. In most kid shows it seems like you’re basically supposed to be a GOD of some kind lol.
      Like in Dora/Diego for example. They ask you for help any time they have to do a task, and then when they succeed they say YOU did it and thank you for helping. Ex: the episode I’m thinking of is one I saw where Diego asked “you” to help him win a race by pantomiming running. Then when he won the race he turned to look at the screen and said “YOU did it!! Great job”

    I get the sense that Mona's dad walked one day (didn't come back from work), leaving her mom a single parent who has to work a lot to keep up, and is dropping Mona off at Nanna's house every day because the other options would be daycare or a sitter. Mona loves it though, and Nana doesn't seem bothered, so no fault to Mom there. She's clearly pretty stressed and its good that she has a support system. I do wonder if she got together with someone new, not Mona's bio dad.

    Instead of Mona’s mum getting back together with her dad I like to think that her parents were always together and were just going through a really really rough patch and just weren’t on the best of terms. Perhaps both of Mona’s parents work full time but her dad works so much where he’s almost neglectful of his family and it makes it hard for her mum to properly look after her and the house with her own job, hence why she’s always with Nana so she has some form of care. When her mum starts wearing new cloths and says she’s happy it’s because Mona’s parents had a talk and are beginning to working things out

  • @MrCisKo
    @MrCisKo 7 месяцев назад +43

    My theory on Mona's family is that at the beginning of the show the family couldn't make ends meet with only the dad's job, so the mom started "going berserk" looking for jobs and trying to accommodate to the dad having to do extra hours to try and get more money. During season 2 she gets the job and their life starts slowly improving until at one point they both start being paid enough to live comfortably without having a long ass work day so the dad can finally come back at reasonable hours to spend time with Mona after she comes back from Nana's.

    My theory about Mona’s parents is that her had is in the puppet military and was stationed away which is the reason why Mona’s mom was sad and tired because she stayed up thinking about her husband but he came back home by season two making the mom’s mental health better. This is also carried by the fact of the line of when Mona dad is at work, he is at work in the military. But that’s just a theory

    I have a idea for a nanalan reboot. Mona is 16 years old and she owns nanas house after she dies, mona loves kids so she becomes a babysitter in her Neighborhood and turns nanas old house into a daycare for the young toddlers and she is reminded of when she was a toddler and playing with her nana and now keeping nanas memories alive

      @ari_sings_songs because I thought it was cute and come on, nana won't live forever, and mona seems like the kind of person who would open a daycare or something I also made a football player at her school live in mr woka's old house and his name is Chad and he helps mona whenever he can

    28:15 Well, at least in the Snake short Russel barked at snake because he was scared. He even tried to protect Mona when it hissed. But it was a very chill snake. The whole short is priceless to me.

    I legit held my chest for a second in disbelf when i saw the thumbnail. That green little girl is like one of my first core memories of nickelodeon in 1999 as a toddler. I was born in '96 so i obviously have very few memories of the 90's that is tangible in general but I'm so glad you covered this! I see the resemblance to oobi as well , another show i forgot existed but definitely watched!

  • @RossOriginals
    @RossOriginals 7 месяцев назад +4

    Perhaps Mona's Dad was working long hours for a long period and her Mum was working another job because of financial struggles, so Mona's Mum was feeling stressed handling everything at home on top of work, it's even possible that she dropped Mona off while she (the Mum) was at therapy, or simply while running errands, but in the later series perhaps she and Mona's Dad have gone through some couple's therapy and he's given up his demanding job for something that allows him to spend more time with the family, even taking on household tasks like cooking so it takes the weight off of Mona's Mum so she can pursue her own goals, and so is happier and has a better life balance.

    Tangentially related, but I love Athena's style. It's like a Zoomer version of Clarissa Darling or Helen Hunt in Girls Just Want to Have Fun (1985). It makes me want to be more adventurous. I'm not too embarrassed, just too lazy.

    Thank you Athena, I am so glad that this lore video is finally here! I grew up with this show as a kid in Canada watching tv in the early 2000’s. I really believe that this show is a healing show, I used to watch it when I was at home sick from elementary school and when I came home for lunch from elementary school and after school too! I have moved cities to go to school alongside my sister and we have revisited this show and started watching it in our new apartment as something to comfort us when we miss home. This show has always held a special place in my heart and I am so glad that others have it hold a special place in theirs now too!

    When I was a baby, both of my parents were working parents, so they'd drop me off at my nana's house. Mona supposedly goes to her nana's house on a daily basis. So, maybe Mona's mother is a working single mother, and Nana keeps an eye on Mona while she's at work? Preschool can cost a LOT, and maybe there isn't a preschool they can access where they are, whether it be too far to drive there then go to work, or too expensive, or any other myriad of reasons.
