YMMV / Ni Hao, Kai-Lan

• Adaptation Displacement: The show is more well known compared to the Downward Doghouse shorts it was based on.
• Crossover Ship: For some reason, Kai-Lan is often shipped with Brobee from Yo Gabba Gabba!.
• Fandom Rivalry: The Periphery Demographic of Dora the Explorer has often had bitter reactions towards Ni Hao, Kai-Lan.
• Fridge Logic: The main conflict of the episode "Tolee's Rhyme Time" is that Tolee doesn't know how to rhyme words. However, at the beginning of the episode, he was singing a rhyming song when he was taking a bath. While he may not have realized it was a rhyming song, since the song isn't brought up after that point in the episode, it makes it a little awkward.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In the "Princess Kai-Lan" special, Kai-Lan becomes the Princess of Friends, 3 years before Twilight Sparkle did.
• Informed Wrongness: In "Everybody's Hat Parade", Rintoo is shown as being in the wrong for being mad at Hoho copying his hat design, and the lesson of the day is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. However, Rintoo had every right to be mad at Hoho for stealing his original ideas as, good-intentioned or not, there's a difference between "imitation" and "plagiarism".
• Moe: Kai-Lan is an eternally optimistic and sweet little girl who helps her friends with problems they need to solve.
• Spiritual Successor: To Dora the Explorer. Little ethnic girl and her monkey sidekick teach kids a foreign language while hanging out with other animals.
