Stillwater

Siblings Karl, Addy and Michael have a very special next-door neighbor: a wise panda named Stillwater. His friendship and stories give them new perspectives on the world, themselves, and each other.

Stillwater (2020-present) is an American 3D animated family series created for Apple TV, with production support from Scholastic Entertainment and Gaumont. Siblings Karl, Addy and Michael live next door to a wise panda named Stillwater, whose friendship and stories open new ways of seeing the world, themselves and one another. Voiced by James Sie as Stillwater, with Eva Ariel Binder as Addy, Tucker Chandler as Michael and Judah Mackey as Karl, the show runs across five seasons of short episodes built from everyday moments where a small problem becomes a lesson in patience, kindness and imagination. Rather than pursuing a sweeping plot, each story stays close to the household and the neighborhood, letting the children and their gentle mentor talk through what they are feeling. The tone is warm, soothing and hopeful, with a cozy sense of wonder that treats ordinary days as full of quiet magic. Fans of Bluey, Puffin Rock and Peppa Pig will find the same comforting, family-friendly register, suited to young viewers and the adults watching alongside them.

Broadly positive reception as a gentle family series, valued for its warm tone and calm life lessons.
