Cindi and Friends

Cindi and Friends is a Kuboian children's traditionally animated slice-of-life series directed by Fyp Housin and produced by Scopescreen Media.

Cindi and Friends focuses on Cindi Sophia Roberts, a nine year-old grumpy and pessimistic girl who goes to a social group run in Rainbow Dome Fun Centre, where she unintentionally helps the other children, as well as the adults, solve any problem that stands in their way. The show has significant educational value.

The show premiered on Nick Jr. Kuboia in 2001, with episodes releasing sporadically over the next two years until the show came to an end in 2003. The show was reran on the channel until October 2005, and was later reran on Jump! from April 2004 until December 2007.

Premise
Cindi Sophia Roberts is a nine year-old girl who attends a social group inside Rainbow Dome Fun Centre. The social group is specifically for nine year-old children who do not attend school.

Due to the staff being carefree, and not very responsible, the children are generally free to get up to mischief, and explore Rainbow Dome whilst it is empty. Although Cindi is not interested in what the other children get up to, she is often the one who helps the others when they are in trouble. Because of this, Cindi is often referred to as a heroine.

Censorship
Like most Kuboian cartoons, the show was censored outside of the country in several ways:
 * Minor profanity was omitted and changed to different words.
 * References to alcohol were either toned down or edited out.
 * The show was redubbed for North American broadcast, with as Cindi.

Criticism
Throughout its initial run, Cindi and Friends received criticism, mainly from TBA, which felt that the show encouraged anti-social behaviour.
