I know that Wild Kratts is one of those shows where the main [human] characters don't age despite it still being a quasi-continuity driven show, but it does admittedly make me sad that the WK kids from the earlier seasons are now relegated to (presumably permanent) background cameos because of this.

#wild kratts #pbs kids #pbs kids go #gavin kratt #2d gavin kratt #2d martin kratt #2d chris kratt #wild kratts kids #This was a revelation that I've had since watching Our Blue and Green World #But most of the child actors have grown up within the 10+ years of them being on the show #so they'd probably be too old to reprise their roles #Gavin and Ronan haven't had speaking roles since Seasons 4-5 #Not to mention IRL Ronan Kratt to my knowledge has made it pretty big with his soccer career #and probably wouldn't have the time to reprise his role because of this #That one kid from the Fireflies adventure we never saw again #Ellie (that one girl in the red shirt) hasn't had a speaking role since the bat episode #Ronan Kratt actually did come back to voice his character in S7 but it was obviously deeper than how he sounded in S4 #And Nina (the girl from Central America) had 3 different VAs #I'm starting to think that part of the reason Seasons 4-7 gave us so many new kid characters #is because they knew that they wouldn't have the ones from S1-3 come back regularly with the actors growing up #Which on some level I do understand #Even if they can't age up the characters (because that would require completely new/upgraded models being made for a 2-year long season)#I think recasting the kids with similar-sounding actors would be nice #maybe it's just bc I miss Gavin and Ronan idk #But until further notice they're basically just ghosts. Again I didn't realize this until seeing their cameos in one of the recent episodes
