I can't really remember Hilda but I remember liking it. I think these recommendations are a similar vibe. I also did not like Gravity Falls but should probably give it another try since I didn't give it a fair shot.
Dara, Steven Universe, Bee and Puppycat would be my recommendations.** I've ranted about them below trying to describe them but honestly you should probably just ignore my rant and watch some episodes since they are all short.**
It's been a while since I've watched Dara so I can remember deets but it's a cute and chill show.
Steven Universe is possibly my favourite show, 12 min episodes so really easy to consume. It's dorky (especially at first) and takes a while to get going. But when it does it has a lot going for it. Action, adventure, humour, all with an upbeat and warm tone. It tackles some pretty deep topics but can be a little on the nose sometimes. The character arcs are satisfying and the whole plot feels very intentional and comes to a close satisfyingly. Who am I kidding it's definitely my favourite show. If you've seen ATLA I think they are quite similar in plot and episode structure, but SU has more adult themes, better humour & character arcs, and a better plot overall. (IMO, don't yell at me ATLA fans).
Bee and Puppycat has two runs, a YouTube one then a sort of remake on Netflix, it's confusing and idk which one to recommend, I like the both though. So far it seems quite similar to SU except much less structured. It's very cutesy and fun but I feel like there's some ADHD vibes in terms of writing and the main character (I don't mean this in an entirely bad way, I have ADHD). It just feels a bit scatterbrained at times. That being said I really like it and I'm hoping the creator gets more seasons approved.
