Vir The Robot Boy: From Creativity To Knowledge, 4 Reasons Your Kid Needs To Watch This

As the global novel coronavirus outbreak has pushed India towards a lockdown, the biggest nightmare for parents is to keep their kids busy inside the house. Well, it is a challenge to keep your restless and enthusiastic kids entertained while they are confined to the four walls. So, if you are looking for ways to keep your child occupied but want kids to also enhance their knowledge, watching science fiction cartoons are a good way. While it not only entertains your kid but also expands their imagination, makes them creative and help them educate themselves with things we’ve never heard or seen before. To start with, you can watch Vir: The Robot Boy, which is currently on ZEE5.

Watch the first episode of Vir: The Robot Boy here:

The story revolves around the protagonist Vir, who is a robot (but actually looks like a boy and has human feelings), and his friends, Imli who is his classmate, Chulbul-the donkey and Gintu- the Jinn. A well-known scientist, Dr. Prem Sahay, invented Vir to use him to help people, while the Defense Department wants to use him for military purposes. Meanwhile, Mad Max, the antagonist, tries all possible ways to trap him (Vir) so that he can duplicate and use him to rule over the world. While each episode has a stand-alone story, we can see how Vir, along with his friends Gintu, Chulbul, and Imli, unravel the mysteries and fight their way out from everyday troubles.

Here Are Reasons To Watch Vir: The Robot Boy:

Expands Imagination

Science fictions don’t feature everyday stories and plot lines. They are futuristic in their ideas and also the kind of technology that is imagined in the story. Watching science fiction will teach your child to stretch the boundaries of imagination and this will be reflected during play time or while making up fantastical bed time stories. And what better way to introduce science fiction to a child than a cartoon like Vir: The Robot Boy for instance? An animated series about a humanoid robot who does things beyond our imagination in order to eradicate evil from the society is exactly the kind of infotainment your kid needs on hot lockdown afternoons. The ways Vir chooses to complete his mission will be fascinating to kids and impart moral values as well.

Inspires Creativity

Watching Vir: The Robot Boy will surely make your child more creative in general, since we are looking into the future, even if it’s only a made-up sci-fi version of the future. This, in turn, will only help exercise the child’s brain, expand knowledge and give the kid more confidence. Also, look at the time when we were introduced to the flip phone and a wireless earpiece in Star Trek. It was only an imagination back then but those, that were started in science fiction movies, have now become reality because someone has figured out how to make them. Well, that inspired creativity in someone.

Educative

Science fiction defies what we know today. From nature, science to physics, it defies everything we know with just a little help of camera tricks and computer graphics. They bring us to see what actually can become reality tomorrow. It won’t be wrong to call the science-fiction cartoons or films around it to be ‘the art of the possible.’ And if you would like your kid to gain knowledge of things that is beyond a human brain could understand, Vir: The Robot Boy could be a good start. As a benefit, your child will well-versed with the language, when they watch such cartoons. And if you want your little one to improve their vocabulary, you can watch Vir: The Robot Boy in English too.

Clean Comedy

With characters like Vir and faithful sidekicks like Chulbul the donkey and Ghintu the jinn, you may be sure that the program has clean comedy and is completely child friendly. You can even leave your child unsupervised for some time to explore this world while you attend to some other chores.
