Premise
This Netflix Original series is a reboot of Lalaloopsy, a Nick Jr. series that first aired in 2013. While they both share the basic premise of rag dolls having adventures in Lalaloopsy Land, the exact details of each series are very different. 48 unique lalaloopsies appeared in the original series. In contrast, We’re Lalaloopsy only features 10 characters, a significant downgrade from 48.
The Netflix series also offers a more continuity based structure as opposed to the previous series’s more episodic structure. We’re Lalaloopsy mainly focuses on Storm E. Sky (who previously appeared in Lalaloopsy Girls: Welcome to L.A.L.A Prep School) gradually becoming accepted in Lalaloopsy Land.
Another difference from the original series is that We’re Lalaloopsy contains a slightly different art style that emphasizes the dolls’ mouths more. Unlike Lalaloopsy, the lalaloopsies are now voiced by adults.
