How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)
Started out okay, but got boring as it went along.
I saw this movie a few days after it opened, as I do with every Dreamworks film. I had seen the first HTTYD in school and liked it, so I thought it would be good too. Well, I'm sad to say that it wasn't that good. The first 40 minutes of the film were good, but as it advanced, it seemed to just drag on with random battles, although the song Hiccup's parents sang was good. I decided to read a book I had with me because I was bored! I recommend seeing Maleficent or Earth To Echo instead, or if you want a good movie the same length, watch Mumfie's Quest or Muppets Most Wanted. Those are able to keep the plot moving without boring you.
Muppets Most Wanted (2014)
The trailers weren't lying-this is the greatest live action motion picture of all time!
I saw this on the day after it debuted in theaters and really enjoyed it, and found it the best live action movie I've ever seen! The movie is about the Muppets going on a world tour in Europe. When Kermit does not feel good about this, he decides to go out in the fog for a walk and gets his identity swapped with Constantine, the world's most dangerous frog. Constantine fools the Muppets into thinking he's nice by giving them what they want, and even proposing to Mrs. Piggy whilst the real Kermit is in a Russian prison. Will the Muppets save their friend, and will the real Constantine be found? Find out by watching this Muppetational motion picture event!
Nina Needs to Go (2014)
Possibly the worst preschool show ever!
This show is perhaps the worst preschool show on the planet! It's annoying, repetitive, disgusting, and dumbs down the brain. I would have rather spent the 20 minutes I spent watching this show watching two episodes of a better show. This is about a little girl named Nina who has to pee everywhere she is and gets there thanks to her Nana. Nina has an annoying voice and looks ugly! She also gets what she wants all the time and is such as spoiled brat. Not only that, there's too much potty humor in it. This show makes the Animaniacs episode "Potty Emergency" look like Kevin Meaney's "Cheesecake Boat" sketch, and we're talking about a six-minute cartoon that's also about a character who has to pee, and I had to shut that off after 2 minutes. I agree with my teacher who wouldn't let his daughters watch this show, along with many other parents-it's a horrible influence on toddlers, but toddlers still like it. Did you know that this show got higher ratings than SpongeBob when it still aired? Oh, and the toddlers who watch it also wet their pants more often because they think Nana will come to take them to the toilet in time when they really need to. If you don't want to see this short, CHANGE THE CHANNEL at the end of the 9:00AM episode of Doc McStuffins on weekdays and the 9:55AM showing of Sofia The First, or watch the Disney Junior channel, which recently canned the short for "Can You Teach My Alligator Manners?" and "Tasty Time With ZeFronk", two better short shows. If anyone is curious and wants to watch this, please don't. I lost more brain cells watching this than any horrible show and scored low on tests in school because of it. I'm unsubscribing to Disney Junior's YouTube and not watching a single episode of this ever again!
Tokyo Mew Mew (2002)
Mew Mews rule!
Because of me not knowing of FoxBox until Fall 2005, I never knew about this show until a video of a live show of Mew Mew Power from Japan was related to a Tamagotchi video. After I watched it, I then watched a few episodes of the dub and fell in love with it. I also brought the books of Tokyo Mew Mew, which I'm more familiar with. The show centers around 5 girls who are fused with animal genes during an accident and have to save the world from monsters. It is more action-packed than your average Sailor Moon episode, and appeals to kids both young and old, as well as boys and girls. Sadly, the second half of the episodes never got dubbed, even though the show was FoxBox's highest-rated show for a while. I would have liked 4Kids to do what they did with DoReMi by dubbing the rest of the show and putting it on their website.
Ojamajo Doremi (1999)
The first magical girl anime I ever watched.
I first got into this show when I was in 2nd grade when my dad turned on the TV one morning to FOX, expecting the news to be on, and this show came on instead. I fell in love with the cute characters and watched it until they took it off. This show is about a 3rd grader named Doremi Harukaze (Dorie Goodwyn) in the dub I watched, who turns a magic shop owner into a witch by accident, and has to learn to become a witch apprentice to reverse the spell. Her friends Hazuki Fujiwara (Reanne Griffth) and Aiko Seeno (Mirabelle Haywood) soon join her. The girls take exams to become witches themselves and also use their magic to help others. If you like Sailor Moon or other shows, you should give this one a try.
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Annoying and overrated-need I say more?
I wish I could rate this zero stars. This is simply the worst thing a kid can watch these days. SpongeBob is probably the most annoying cartoon character on Earth, and he just spends his days being a nuisance. While I waited for Rugrats to come on as a kid, I was constantly annoyed by this show, and wished for it to end. But it was popular with the majority of the children and they saw something in it I didn't. Also, the plots, jokes and characters were dull and seemed to have been ripped off from other shows that did a much better job. It's also overrated-nearly every person in America likes it and Nick plays it eight times a day. But thanks to the popularity of other kids shows like Adventure Time, Ninja Turtles and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, the popularity's dying down a little. Let's hope that the upcoming movie is the series' true finale.
Mumfie's Quest: The Movie (1996)
The best movie I've ever seen in my life!
This animated movie is the best one I've ever seen in my life. The movie centers around a little elephant named Mumfie, who is bored of his everyday life and decides to go on an exciting adventure by meeting some friends, including a scarecrow, a flying pig, a old raven, a whale cruise-liner, and a beautiful queen. After meeting Pinkey, Mumfie and Scarecrow learn about an island ruled by an evil person known as the Secretary of Night, and have to bring peace and happiness back. Not only that, but the Secretary of Night is after a jewel Mumfie took that actually was from a bottle of formula he broke while cleaning, which he later looses in the ocean. This movie also has great music, and it feels like you're really in the movie. It's also emotional as well-there was one major plot point where Mumfie gets thrown into jail for no reason that made me tear up the hardest I did at any movie, and there are funny scenes such as people who read a newspaper misinterpreting Whale's slogan. This movie is great for kids of any age, and I would recommend it for anyone who likes traditionally animated films as well.
Magic Adventures of Mumfie (1994)
An awesome TV show for kids.
When I was only a few months old, my brother watched The Captain's Treasure House on Fox Family for Shining Time Station, but he liked the other shows as well. In kindergarten, an ad for the movie appeared on a Cabbage Patch VHS tape we owned, and we watched a few episodes in school. 10 years later, I re-discovered this series on YouTube, and brought the movie on DVD soon after. The series revolves around a elephant who seems around child age named Mumfie, who has no family. He goes on an amazing adventure soon afterwards with his friends Scarecrow and Pinkey, and many other amazing characters as they save an island from eternal darkness in the movie (which was the first thirteen episodes) After this, two more seasons of the show were made with more stories and some new characters. The plots in the episodes are interesting, from weird dreams caused by eating too much food, stuff going missing, exciting parties, Mumfie getting a pet fish, stories taking place underwater, and birthday parties. If you like adventure series, Disney, or cute animation in general, this series is for you.
Garfield and Friends (1988)
The best cartoon adaptation of a comic in this world!
I first heard of this show in 2007, when it aired on Boomerang, a few weeks before it got canned. The first episode I ever saw was "China Cat/Cock-A-Doodle-Dandy/Beach Blanket Bonzo", and the only other one I saw was "Peace and Quiet/Wanted: Wade/Garfield Goes Hawaiian". One day, we got a coupon in a Laptop Meal at KFC for a discount on the Behind The Scenes DVD, so me and my sister got that DVD and were obsessed with the show. But once I was addicted into Pokemon, I rarely watched the show. That was until April 2012, when I decided to look on a website about television and saw the Season 7 opening theme linked to on a page. That night, I watched some Garfield segments. A month after that, I discovered U.S. Acres after seeing a 5-second clip of it attached to a commercial break, and thought it looked cute. I was right-the segment turned out to be better than Garfield! Which brings me to my review: The Garfield segments are based on the comic strip by Jim Davis about a very peculiar cat who doesn't act like other cats. He eats human food like lasagna, he sleeps a lot, he is fat, he doesn't chase mice, he hates spiders and dogs, and we're able to hear his thoughts. He goes on many misadventures, like visiting a little girl's mansion, asking viewers to find mistakes in his cartoon, meeting a copy of himself, celebrating holidays, and re-telling classic stories. U.S. Acres is about a pig named Orson who loves to read, and his wacky friends. They vary from a duck who is afraid of nearly everything named Wade, a "prankster-gangster" rooster named Roy, an egg with feet named Sheldon, a grumpy female sheep named Lanolin, a "cool dude" sheep named Bo, a baby chick named Booker, 3 evil pigs who are his brothers, a weasel who wants to steal chickens, a duck with buck-teeth named Fred, a chick girl named Chloe and my favorite character, a pig named Aloysius who is voiced by the famous comedian Kevin Meaney who works for The Network. They go on many misadventures too, but they mostly teach lessons, like not breaking the law and to not make fun of other people, and re-do stories, like Snow White, Cinderella, The Count Of Monte Cristo, and even classic nursery rhymes! This cartoon will make you laugh, and it's one of the best out there!
