"Netflix has pegged the show as a more kid-friendly "Saturday morning cartoon" take on Stranger Things , and it definitely comes off that way based on the clips we've seen thus far. It's colorful, packed with jokes, and even the evil creatures from the Upside Down are kinda cute in its -esque art style. The main cast of characters are returning in the series, but they are notably not voiced by any of their live-action actors."
"While the fifth and final season of Stranger Things created a whirlwind of controversy after some fans were disappointed in its conclusion , even prompting some to spin a conspiracy theory that a secret finale was coming that would address all their grievances , maybe Tales from '85 could serve as a low-stakes palate cleanser? I also wouldn't be surprised, though, if the people who were that dissatisfied with season 5 just wash their hands of the series altogether and don't watch the show."
Stranger Things: Tales from '85 is an animated, kid-friendly series set between the main series' second and third seasons and styled as a Saturday-morning cartoon. The trailer shows colorful visuals, frequent jokes, and stylized monsters from the Upside Down that appear cute in the chosen art style. The core kid characters return but are voiced by new, younger-sounding actors rather than their live-action counterparts. The spin-off aims to provide a low-stakes, nostalgic palate cleanser after the divisive final season, though some disgruntled viewers may still skip the series. The series will premiere on Netflix on April 23.
