The origins of the cartoon Shimmer and Shine it has its origins in 2013 in very particular circumstances and modalities. In fact, the first appearance ever dates back to 2013, with a single episode screened in North America by Nickelodeon and in Canada from Treehouse in the month of September. Two years later, Nickelodeon is personally in charge of producing the series together with Guru Studio, with a first series that is very successful thanks to the theme song sung by Melanie Fontana. In the meantime, two other editions are made to the delight of many children. As for Italy, the first series is proposed by Nick Jr, while the following ones from Cartoon.

La plot di Shimmer and Shine It is extremely simple and seems to be made on purpose to allow the little ones to have fun with the maximum of disengagement. The main protagonists are, precisely, Shimmer e Shine. The latter are two twins who come out of a magical bottle, discovered by the two friends and neighbors Leah e Zac. The two are very similar to real Aladdin lamp genes and want to make sure that no one knows their intriguing secret. The whole series revolves around these events, while the second season is held in the magical house of the twins, namely the Zahramay waterfalls.

Leah and Zac become friends with the Princess Samira and of the master Roya. The first is the sovereign of the little geniuses. Everyone begins to fight against the witch Zeta, an arrogant character and without any kind of loyalty. All in a light climate and pure fun.

How is a typical episode di Shimmer and Shine? Obviously, most of the space is reserved for the two absolute protagonists, even if it all starts with friends Leah e Zac who have a problem to solve. The girl thus chooses to rub the lamp and make the two little wizards come out. The latter move from their fairy castle aboard a flying carpet and rush to each other's neighbors, exhausting their desire in no time at all. Only Leah knows of the existence of the little geniuses, while Zac is limited to being her shoulder. A situation that remains so for a good part of the first season. All between settings with strong Arabian colors and songs worthy of being danced through belly dancing. At the end of each episode, Shimmer and Shine can return to their home and meet up with Leah for the next day, ready to give life to delicious new adventures.

And now let's take a look at the characters of the cartoon series. Obviously the two main protagonists are Shimmer e Shine, the two geniuses who give the title to the whole cartoon series. The first is optimistic with pink hair and blue eyes, while the second is more daring with blue hair and purple eyes. Their best friend is undoubtedly Leah, very patient child and close friend of Zac. The latter loves to go on an adventure and have fun living new experiences.

There are also several animals that assist the protagonists, such as the dog Rocket, the little monkey Tala and the white tiger nahal. The role of the antagonist is occupied by the fearsome witch Zeta. THE'authoress of this television series is the very young Farnaz Esnaashari-Charmatz, which he has previously worked for Dora the explorer, Go Diego e Ni Hao-Kai-Lan.
