    Busy Gold
    Respected Gold.

    Busy World is one of those colorful, vibrant and graceful shows to sit and watch.

    There was so much going on with many characters. This show gave you joy inside.

    It's sad it didn't get the exposure it deserves for being a great children's cartoon.

    Verdict: When you're alone, and life is making you lonely, you can always go... to Busy World.
