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.

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
