Nina, a 4 year old girl, often "needs to go" at the worst possible moments. She and her Nana go on many adventures, all in search of a bathroom.
"Nina Needs to Go!" is a short form animated series created in 2014. It stars the titular 4 year old Nina, who always tries to "hold it". She has an over active imagination, so she will talk about what ever is on her mind until she hears, sees, or even imagines running water. This will remind her until she can't take it anymore and exclaims "I need to go (right now)". Then it is up to her parents, brother, and most often, her ninja Nana, to get her to the bathroom, before it's too late. This show is created to help teach kids the importance of listening to your body.—Sarah Cox
"Nina Needs to Go!" is an animated series made for Disney Junior in 2014. It stars Nina, a joyful 4 year old girl who loves to have fun and play. However she never listens to her body and always tries to deny her very obvious need to use the bathroom. When she eventually can't stand it anymore, she'll be saved by her Ninja Nana and will be taken to the bathroom. Episodes usually start out with Nina and her family doing something fun that day. Her parents, Kate and Nat, or her brother, Frank, will then ask Nina if she needs to "go" and she will deny it, multiple times. Her need to pee to pee will grow however, usually from seeing, hearing or imagining running water. When she can't hold it anymore and finally admits to needing the loo, it'll be up to her parents or brother to take her there. However, their search will be unsuccessful, and just when all hope seems lost, Nana Sheila will arrive to take Nina to the latrine. It'll then be a race against the clock to get Nina to the throne before it's too late. Nina will successfully make it to the bathroom and will proudly come out saying "That will never happen again, because now I know: Don't wait to go!" (An ironic catchphrase considering how it keeps happening again).After 2 seasons of that and many complaints from parents, the Third season was about Nina learning different lessons that don't have anything to do with her bladder. Lessons like: waiting your turn, having good table manners, going to bed on time, never separating from your parents, listening and how to clean up a mess. While these shorts were received better, they were less memorable and popular. Because of this, Disney/Disney Junior canceled the series in 2017.
