At first I thought this was the typical woke crap but I was pleasantly surprised. It's nice that they're making things for children that explain the situation and help them cope with having to flee their homes. I can't imagine how stressful that is when you don't have the understanding of an adult. Never thought about life for the disabled during wartime before, either.

The fact that its made for audiences in Middle East and Africa make this less... insane. Maybe even acceptable, but fuck if I know the political climates of the countries in which it'd be airing. But it doesn't seem too bad.
