Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. This delightful preschool series is reminiscent of Cars in its impressive characterization, assigning a range of personalities and talents that perfectly suit its four-wheeled cast members. Each character's unique qualities play a role in the stories, which sends good messages to kids about respecting differences and seeing past appearances. Plus, Chuck's willingness to admit his mistakes and identify ways to remedy the situations teaches kids about responsibility. Positive lessons are everywhere, and Chuck and his friends reinforce what they learn from their experiences in recaps at the end of each episode, so the messages are sure to impact the show's young audience. Of course, none of this will be on the minds of preschoolers as they revel in the characters' adventures, which more than anything are just plain fun.
