CoComelon has a massive following around the world, but its popularity comes with a dose of controversy. We look at why children adore the series, and why some experts believe parents should limit the time spent watching it.
CoComelon started life all the way back in 2005, as the brain child of Californian father-of-two, Jay Jeon. He created a YouTube channel with his children's book author wife to upload educational musical animations. Originally named ABC Kid TV, the channel grew, and what began as a series of videos depicting songs the couple sang to their own kids, became an actual show. A toddler named JJ was made the leading character, and the views accelerated rapidly.
