As of July 2021, they are the most-viewed YouTube channel in the United States and most-subscribed children's channel, second most-viewed channel and second most-subscribed channel on YouTube, behind T-Series. On September 5, 2021, the channel became a Netflix original series

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Hypocrisy: Cocomelon claims to be educational, but some of their songs don't have any educational value whatsoever
 * 2) Some of their songs are just filler, like their Shake Your Sillies Out song
 * 3) Cocomelon recycles songs over and over again and their songs are very repetitive, even for a preschool group, and they jumped the shark, which caused them to make dance mix videos.
 * 4) The animation is kind of uncanny and painfully fast-paced with a highly-saturated colour palette
 * 5) Some songs make no sense
 * 6) * In the Happy New Year song, Miss Appleberry said that in China, people use red gift cards, which is true, but this only applies to the Chinese Lunar New Year, which is not what she's talking about, as the song is about the regular Western New Year.
 * 7) * In the Coloured Jelly (or Jello) song, the children mixed jelly flavours together to make rainbow, which, while it does teach about primary and secondary colours, the children literally mix flavours, which makes the song more about flavour improvisation rather than the said topic
 * 8) * In the Humpty Dumpty song, the children literally do an egg breakage experiment, which is classed as wasting food
 * 9) * The names TomTom and YoYo are not real names
 * 10) The character designs are uncanny and weird. The kids (apart from TomTom and YoYo), for some reason, are bidental, since they have only two teeth
 * 11) Although rare, there are a fair amount of offensive cultural stereotypes:
 * 12) * The Pizza song, along with the Pasta song, portrays Italians as people who are obsessed with pasta and pizza and who say "Mamma Mia", much similar to Mario
 * 13) * The Happy New Year song at home had dress stereotypes for locales
 * 14) * The Lunchbox song portrays Mexicans as eating tacos and burritos, Chinese as eating rice and chicken balls and Italians eating pasta and pizza, all of which are on a frequent scale
 * 15) The characterisation is kind of bland and generic
 * 16) * JJ is a generic happy-go-lucky toddler with no personality. Speaking of which, he speaks normal, though he is a toddler, though it is kind of understandable since he is said to be 3
 * 17) * TomTom is a stereotypical genius boy
 * 18) * YoYo is a generic stereotypical girl
 * 19) * JJ's dad is a generic and cliched lazy dad, like Homer Simpson from The Simpsons, Daddy Pig from Peppa Pig and Peter Griffin from Family Guy and he also is immature and childish as he ate junk food in the infamous Johnny Johnny Yes Papa song and he laughed with his mouth open, which is rude. Before the Childish Dad series from Vyond was a thing, the people behind the channel/show thought it was a good idea to make his Dad childish
 * 20) * Miss Appleberry is a generic preschool teacher
 * 21) * Cody seems like a rehash of George Pig as he likes dinosaurs and he has a T-shirt
 * 22) * The other characters (especially the animals) are poorly-written
 * 23) Some gross-out humour, despite being rare, as the Potty Training song had a cringe-worthy dance that cashed in the Potty Dance ad from Nick Jr. and the Sick songs have sneezing, despite being not-so-graphic
 * 24) The music is bland at best
 * 25) It became a huge cash cow, as there were several merchandise based on the show and it also came to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video

Good Qualities

 * 1) It is educational for preschoolers, as it teaches them about basics of life
 * 2) Some of their songs are decent and they teach good morals
 * 3) They introduced new characters more often, like Nina's family and CeCe's dad, when Cocomelon was acquired by Netflix
 * 4) The backgrounds and props seem decent
 * 5) The picture quality improved when ABC Kids TV got renamed into Cocomelon, as the backgrounds became more modern and less like a PlayStation game, the reflections were added, and the characters looked less uncanny
 * 6) It contains little-to-no pop culture references and product placements, unlike most kids' content on YouTube
