STEM topics are huge in education and Disney Junior’s “Miles from Tomorrowland” sparks a fascination with outer space with its STEM-based, NASA-approved content. It sends the message that the skies (and the stars and the planets) are the limit while also reminding viewers that there really is no place like home and family. <\/a><\/p>\n

And I adore the tagline, “The Future is Blastastic!”<\/p>\n

“Miles from Tomorrowland” is an intergalactic adventure that charts the outer space missions of young adventurer Miles Callisto and his family \u2013 mom and ship captain, Phoebe; mechanical engineer dad, Leo; tech-savvy big sister, Loretta; and best friend robo-ostrich pet, Merc \u2013 as they help connect the galaxy on behalf of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority.<\/p>\n

Miles, Merc and the Callisto family explore wondrous and diverse new worlds, taking young viewers and their families on a futuristic journey designed to fuel kids’ natural interest in space, and at the same time reminding them of the importance of what lies close to home \u2013 the family bond.<\/p>\n

I’m not the only one who is a fan of Miles, Merc and\u00a0 Common Sense Media<\/a> says, “Parents need to know that Miles from Tomorrowland<\/em> sparks preschoolers’ curiosity about outer space through the characters’ exciting intergalactic adventures. . . . There are moments of suspense when characters appear to be in danger, but they’re quickly —\u00a0and happily —\u00a0resolved. This series is brimming with model behavior, from Miles’ eagerness to help to his mom’s can-do attitude, as well as some epic family road trips that are fun to watch.”<\/p>\n
