828:. She speaks both English and Mandarin Chinese, and she is eager to share her language, her culture, and her playtime with her animal friends and the viewers at home. Kai-Lan is a natural leader but she is also thoughtful and caring with a gift for helping her friends when they really need her. Her favorite animal is a dinosaur and in her music group, she plays her tambourine. In the (aptly titled) episode Kai-Lan's Big Surprise, she tries to put together a big surprise party for Ye Ye, but all the decorations, the pineapple cake, and even her card fall victim to gusty winds. 84: 74: 53: 258: 192: 311: 290: 22: 321: 182: 158: 407: 886:

This has got to be the most idiotic thing I have read. I don't know which episode is being referred to but talking about copyright violations regarding kids copying another kid's arts and crafts work in a kid's show is just being silly. Also the show is produced by a (Chinese) American in the U.S.

He's talking about the Everybody's Hat parade episode. Also, you can't copy EVERYTHING. Hats, yes. Outfits, yes. Most other things? No. Sometimes it's ILLEGAL to copy things... like movies. That would be called piracy and you will get in big trouble. So it's not controversial at all really. The

It says Kai-Lan is voiced by Falin Noei, a "Mardarian." What's a Mardarian? I cannot find anything about Mardarians on Knowledge, and Google assumes I misspelled Mandarin. Is this just a typo? (BTW, I couldn't find Falin Noei from a Google search either)

Chinese words, when taken literally, are not correct. General meaning is more important, so Ni Hao is really basically hi. Otherwise Fang Pi (Fart) would mean "give bad odors".
