 * 32) The original era may have ended in 2011, but it has a great replacement, being Piwi+.

2002-2010

 * 1) The CGI animation may be cheap, lazy and unfinished, but it has good qualities where Happy Planet comes to life.
 * 2) The mascots in Happy Planet have cute and adorable character designs.
 * 3) Passable voice acting, mainly from Naïke Fauveau, Brigitte Guedj, Caroline Combes, Valérie Lecot, Fily Keita, Sauvane Delanoë, Blanche Ravalec, Lucile Boulanger, Lara Saarbach, Annabelle Roux, and Kelly Marot.
 * 4) The narration is decent, especially when it's Magali Barney narrating.

2011-present

 * 1) The CGI animation looks great and very beautiful, even for 2011 standards. The CGI animation is often said to arguably have the best CGI animation in history, which is pretty impressive for preschoolers.
 * 2) Solid voice acting, mainly from Clara Quilichini.
 * 3) The narrations are very good, especially when they originally had Saïd Amadis, then Philippe Lévy, and currently François Berland.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The channel had some mediocre/bad shows such as:
 * 2) * mh:terribletvshows:Jay Jay the Jet Plane
 * 3) * Elmo's World
 * 4) * My Little Pony (2003-2007)
 * 5) * Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends
 * 6) * Trotro
 * 7) * Bert and Ernie's Great Adventures
 * 8) * Fireman Sam (CGI era)
 * 9) * Angelina Ballerina (The Next Steps)
 * 10) * VeggieTales (Netflix era)
 * 11) * Bob the Builder (2015)
 * 12) * Sunny Bunnies (seasons 5 & 6)
 * 13) * Little People (2016)
 * 14) * And many more mediocre/bad shows.
 * 15) Their shows had some unlikable/generic and bland characters, such as Jay Jay, Herky, Snuffy, Tracy, Elmo, Ernie, Bert, Pinkie Pie, Minty, Rainbow Dash, Sunny Daze, Wysteria, Kimono, Sparkleworks, Sweetberry, Cotton Candy, Miss Spider, Holly, Squirt, Pansy, Snowdrop, Wiggle, Spinner, Shimmer, Dragon, Bounce, Trotro, Lili, Nana, Boubou, Zaza, Tutu, Chouchou, Fireman Sam, Angelina Mouseling, Polly Mouseling, Alice Nimbletoes, Marco, Gracie, Viki, A.Z., Bob the Tomato, Larry the Cucumber, Koby, Mia, Sofie, Tessa, etc.
 * 16) The CGI animation in the original era can be cheap, lazy and unfinished, even for 2002 standards. It doesn't help that the original era has bad CGI mixed with live-action segments.
 * 17) * Even the CGI animation quality hasn't aged well ranging from poorly made in Maya to just plain weird.
 * 18) The sunshine mascot and the objects in the modern era (depending on your view) can look creepy to look at, despite being cute. Their character designs also make them look like something that would belong in the Kirby franchise rather than the modern era.
 * 19) The end of the original era could be unfortunate to some people, especially to those who grew up watching this era.
 * 20) The original era's final 5 years, 2007-2011, while not terrible, are considered to be the weakest years of the block, as they started to decay due to having less new shows for each year, which caused them to be beaten by TiJi during those years. But, when it became Piwi+, Canal+ rose back up again.
