Rosie's Rules is a children's animated television series that premiered on October 3, 2022, on PBS Kids and October 11, 2022, on TVOKids. The show is produced by 9 Story Media Group and its animation division Brown Bag Films.

The series is animated in Toon Boom Harmony.

Plot

The series follows 5-year-old Rosie Fuentes as she investigates and learns about the area around her San Antonio, Texas home. Through a multicultural (Mexican, southwestern, and midwestern) lens as her father is from Mexico City and her mother is from Wisconsin, she learns about community with her cat sidekick Gatita. The show is primarily in English, but it blends in Spanish words and phrases. Each story builds on a preschooler’s budding understanding of a concept (how the mail works, transportation, family relationships) and extends the learning from there. As Rosie figures things out, the answers – along with other astute discoveries – become Rosie’s Rules. These “rules” range from the silly (“Don’t try to mail your cat to Mexico.”), to the sweet (“There’s nothing better than making your Abuela happy.”) to the practical (“Sometimes, flopping helps you get your feelings out.”). They will also punctuate what Rosie’s learned in the episode, bridging the curriculum takeaway and the heart of each story.

Every episode starts with Rosie singing the song "I Gotta Know." It typically consists of Rosie's interpretations and exaggerations of the episode's main subject. Each song has the same melody and tune but consists of different lyrics depending on what Rosie is wondering about in the episode.

It is preceded by Rosie feeling overwhelmed by a confusing situation. She then, in an effort to relax, declaring to flop and rapidly descends to the ground. She then recites in pausing to inhale, exhale, and wiggle. Then she points her index finger upward, gets up planning to figure out adding "vamos a ver" (a Spanish phrase meaning roughly "we'll see").

Characters

Main

• Rosie Fuentes (speaking voice by Ellora López and singing voice by Ana Sofia Ferrer) is the main character who makes various special Rules are recited in each episode. She's a creative and optimistic 5-year-old with a whimsical imagination, Rosie's feet may be on the ground, but her head is always in the clouds. Prone to "zoning out" and getting lost in her own little world, she has her head in the clouds even more than most other characters. While this occasionally has the unfortunate side effect of making her very accident-prone, it does give her a very active imagination, and she often provides new ways to solve problems. Rosie is a top kid but a little more inquisitive, a little more impulsive, and a lot more prone to chaos. Rosie's endless curiosity sets the stage for her ongoing pursuits to learn more about her family, her community and beyond. Rosie is not a kid who can easily break rules, so in order to get the most out of life, she re-writes them in her own earnest way. After all, she has the absolute interest to learn and explore just about everything, which is why Rosie is highly knowledgeable and well-informed in a variety of subjects. An imaginative dreamer, Rosie has frequent dream sequences in many episodes, visualizing her daydreams and wishes, and many episodes describe her normal daily experiences with her parents, friends, and neighbors. Overall, Rosie can be playful, kind, and helpful, but she often gets into trouble, mostly through her lack of understanding of how society works. She is very childlike in her understanding of the world and usually becomes confused as a result. Rosie also has many interactions with other characters. Everyone generally likes Rosie and frequently goes out of their way to help her. Rosie is of Mexican descent (on her father's side since her Abuela still currently lives in Mexico), as she is bilingual in both English and Spanish and frequently alternates between the two while speaking often.
• Gatita Fuentes (vocal effects provided by Denise Oliver) is the Fuentes' fluffy white pet cat and Rosie's cuddliest, fluffiest sidekick who is sometimes seen doing unusual human-like motions such as spinning on hind legs. Gatita is an excellent listener and she may or may not be a secret genius. In the trailer, Waiting for Mail, she does a cartwheel, jumping rope, and pattycake.
• Crystal Fuentes (voiced by Gabby Clarke) is Rosie's big 12-year-old biological sister from a previous relationship in Wisconsin around her Uncle Steve. Crystal loves guiding Rosie, but lets Rosie solve her problems -- sometimes using her creative artistic talents to help Rosie out of a jam. She often likes to gloat about being twelve, but still likes things such as balloon animals and merry-go-rounds. Crystal enjoys a wide range of art, ballet, ice skating, soccer, roller skating, and playing the tuba. When Crystal makes a list of things she and Rosie needs to solve their problems, she always includes something Rosie doesn't need.
• Iggy Fuentes (voiced by Oscar Whalen) is Rosie's adorable, typically egocentric, 2-year-old little brother and Crystal's half-brother who speaks in the third person, expressing his most passionate feelings. Above all, Iggy adores his big sister, who he calls "Wosie", and follows her around as a ready and willing assistant to whatever she's up to each day. He has a stuffed pink axolotl named Lote.
• Marco Fuentes/Papa (voiced by Carlos Díaz) is Rosie's father who brings an infectious energy to any situation. Proud of his Mexican heritage, Papá loves sharing stories of his upbringing in Mexico City.
• Liz Fuentes/Mom (voiced by Denise Oliver) is Rosie's mother who is married to Marco and has a younger brother named Steve, she owns a quaint bookstore and loves finding the perfect book for someone. She is quick with cuddles, loves spending time with her family, and beams with pride when witnessing Rosie's curiosity and determination. Liz makes puns on her new surname, like "fuen-tastic". She is a fan of Wisconsin cheddar cheese, ranking it highly among her favorite foods, like her sister-in-law Margarita's horchata. In "Rosie Maps it Out" she is disappointed not to get some on "Mother's Day". She used to race soapbox derby cars as a kid, she won four years in a row.

Supporting

• Beatriz Gomez/Abuela (voiced by Amanda Martinez) is Rosie, Crystal, and Iggy's grandmother and Marco and Margarita's mother who has a terrifyingly high level of physical fitness, she is able to hold a one-armed handstand while chatting on the phone and casually drop into a front split. In "Crystal's New Bunny" she is doing yoga in the park. Initially, it is triangle pose, and then she switches to triangle pose which she announces. Abuela lives in Mexico City in the same house Papá and Tía grew up in. But living far away doesn't stop her from seeing her familia! Video calls with Abuela are a highlight for Rosie – she'll ask her for a video tour of her house or a peek into her rose garden or a quick peek wherever Abuela happens to be. And her active lifestyle could be anywhere. She calls her grandkids "grannito de Arroz" which is a food-based nickname.
• Tia Margarita (voiced by Paloma Nuñez) is Rosie, Crystal, and Iggy's aunt, Marco's sister, Javi's mother, and Beatriz's daughter who owns a small Mexican fusion restaurant in town. She has a big personality, a deep, giddy guffaw, and an exuberance about everything. For some reason, Margarita looked extra saturated in "Super Rosie" and "On With the Show".
• Javi Gomez (voiced by Desmond Sivan) is Rosie, Crystal, and Iggy's cousin. Rosie often calls him "primo." He helps Rosie with her problem-solving (i.e. chaos-producing) escapades, and often lends a different perspective on things. Like Rosie, he seems to be a fan of The Purple Knight, Wonder Walrus, and Nando Narwhal. Javi is likely short for the name "Javier" though this has not been explicitly stated in the show. He apparently likes paper clips, as Rosie tried to trade some to him in "Movie Night" for his cheesy popcorn.
• Jun Liu (voiced by Emma Ho) is an athletic young girl who likes to hang out with Rosie. She also enjoys baking with her mom, as seen in "The Cake-Off." Her grandparents live in Shanghai in China, which she's Chinese and tomboyish. She is visiting them in "Time Trouble."
• Quinn Liu (voiced by Ian Ho) is Jun's athletic twin brother who plays tennis and enjoys watching Roly Polys, as mentioned in the episode "Rosie's Twin Day". He may also have a passion for acting, as he played the lead role in the Brave Butterfly in "On With the Show".
• Grandpa Liu (voiced by Russell Yuen), Jun and Quinn's grandfather.
• Steve (voiced by Steve Gorman) is Rosie, Crystal, and Iggy's uncle and Liz's brother.
