## Spoilers

### Premise and characters

The series is set in Lalaloopsy Land, a colorful world of quilted trees and unusual weather, where each rag doll's personality comes from the fabric she was sewn from. Jewel Sparkles is a fashionable princess and dream-chaser with a pet cat; Storm E. Sky, a guitar-strumming newcomer seen as a rebel who is misunderstood, has a cat named Cool Cat; Crumbs Sugar Cookie bakes while living by her recipe and keeps a mouse; Spot Splatter Splash sees the world in colorful, abstract terms as an artist and has a zebra; Rosy Bumps 'N' Bruises, a nurturing nurse, rushes to help others with hugs and owns a bear; and Dot Starlight, a scientist sewn from an astronaut's spacesuit, keeps a bird.<sup>[2](https://tvtango.com/series/were_lalaloopsy)</sup>

**Storm E. Sky** drives much of the first season's storytelling. The opening episodes establish her arrival in Lalaloopsy Land with a busted camper; she had only intended to pass through, but is stuck and desperate to leave, and Jewel is eager to see her go.<sup>[7](https://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/were-lalaloopsy/episodes-season-1/1030547387/)</sup> Later episodes follow the group learning to make room for a misunderstood newcomer, with Spot trying to help Storm E. and Jewel get along.<sup>[1](https://www.netflix.com/title/80095649)</sup> Each 22-minute Netflix episode pairs two segments, such as "Storm E Sky's Ahead / Storm E Rolls In" and "Crumbs' Perfect Spoon / Rosy Needs a Hug," in which the dolls solve problems through creativity, often creating messes before successes.<sup>[1](https://www.netflix.com/title/80095649)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[6](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/were-lalaloopsy)</sup>
