Braceface: Turning 13 - The First 13 Episodes (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Braceface may be a pretty average looking show, but its outlook is just wonderful. This series doesn't avoid the real issues of growing up and explores them in a very honest, thoughtful manner, following the life of 13 year old Sharon Spitz. This first batch of episodes contains the reprocussions of Sharon's first peroid, her parents' divorce, a friend who shoplifts and the dangers of joyriding.
Before any parents start panicking about the subject matter, the morals of the show are in exactly the right place and it creates an environment where such issues can be discussed and mistakes can be learned from, rather than swept under the carpet. I wish there were shows this direct and genuine when I was younger.
This series only gets better with time and will likely never get a complete screening in America - most of those episodes I mentioned have been skipped over in the Disney Channel screenings, as if they are afraid of even mentioning that kids encounter such issues in modern life. It is exactly this sort of progressive attitude that encourages kids to make up their own minds about society, rather than being wrapped in cotton wool and unprepared when confronted with the reality of teenage life further down the line.
If you are even slightly curious about this show, check out this first season and encourage further releases. If this show can air uncensored on children's TV in Canada to acclaim and affection why should American audiences not be able to cope with it?!!

The Fairly Odd Parents - Channel Chasers (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This movie is awesome! Although The Fairly Odd Parents is a children's show, it has plenty of adult humour (think Ren and Stimpy or Spongebob). My friend and I started watching this and laughed for an hour and a half straight. Timmy and his godparents visit spoofs of TV shows such as SpeedRacer, The Simpsons, Batman, and Charlie Brown's Christmas Special. A definite must have for ANY age!

The Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour 3 (Jimmy Neutron / Fairly OddParents) (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)PowerHour 3: The Jerkinators is a hilarious and wonderful mini-movie combining the worlds of Jimmy Neutron, the Boy Genius with the Big Head, and Timmy Turner, the Average Kid That No One Understands. (Hm! Someone should make a song about that!) Jimmy and Timmy meet again and quickly discover that with Jimmy's IQ and Timmy's Magic, they can defeat any enemy that they face. So they decide to make their own enemy, the superb Villain Whose Name Isn't Shirley. Chaos ensues! Jimmy and Timmy learn they need their other friends; Cindy, Libby, Sheen, Carl, AJ, and Chester.
Two great things make this DVD fantastic. First, the humor. Cosmo, Sheen, the Villain all have great lines. Way too many to list. Second, the movie features cameos of almost every character in each Universe - a snazzy concept. Teachers, parents, mayors, bullies. It's a regular Jimmy Timmy reunion. Very enjoyable.

Avatar The Last Airbender - Book 2 Earth, Vol. 1 (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Avatar is a cartoon series open to people of all ages. If you have not yet watched the series, it is basically about a boy named Aang who must master bending (controlling) the four major elements of the world (Earth, Water, Fire and Air) in order to save the world. Aang is the only hope left to stop the long 100-year war started by the Fire Nation.
The best thing about this particular DVD is that unlike its predecessors, this one includes 5 episodes! In Book 2: Earth, Vol. 1, the included episodes are:
Chapter 1: The Avatar State. In Aang's visit to an Earth Kingdom city, the general tries to help Aang reach the Avatar state in order to use his power against the Fire Nation. Is this Earth Kingdom general really trying to help Aang?
Chapter 2: The Cave of Two Lovers. Aang and his gang decide to head back to Omashu to visit King Bumi in hopes he'll teach Aang Earth bending. Their run-in with some nomads leads them to a cursed cave! All they need to do to get out is to "trust in love," but is it really that simple?
Chapter 3: Return to Omashu. When they arrive at Omashu, something seems different. The Fire Nation has taken over! And where's King Bumi? Aang, Katara, and Sokka also encounter the evil Azula and her 3 friends for the first time. Expert killers, will Aang and his friends make it out of Omashu safely without finding Aang's old friend?
Chapter 4: The Swamp. While passing over a swamp on Appa, Aang thinks he hears it calling to him. After trying to ignore it, a random tornado forces him and his friends to land on ground. There is something mystical about this swamp, but Aang can't quite figure it out. Although skeptical Sokka tries hard to seek a logical way out of the forrest, there is someone watching. Does danger always follow the Avatar around?
Chapter 5: Avatar Day. After escaping from a small herd of Fire Nation soldiers, Aang makes his way to the city of Chin to discover that he's right in time for Avatar Day! However, it's not all what he expects it to be and the local townspeople are now accusing him of a crime centuries old. Can detective Sokka and Katara help clear Aang's name?
The next set of chapters come out April 10 of this year, so collectors should keep an eye out. If you haven't seen this show yet, check your local listings of the show on Nickelodeon. Enjoy!

Avatar The Last Airbender - Book 3 Fire, Vol. 4 (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This disk contains these final 6 episodes of the final season:
Chapter 16: The Southern Raiders - Prince Zuko and Katara take off on a private mission, to find the killer of Katara and Sokka's mother.
Chapter 17: The Ember Island Players - Prince Zuko takes the gang to his family island resort where they watch a theater representation of their history.
Chapter 18: Sozin's Comet Part 1: The Phoenix King - "Team Avatar" (Sokka's pet name for the group) prepares for a confrontation with the Fire Lord while Ozai assigns Azula a special honorable title - and crowns himself Supreme Ruler - with his own special title.
Chapter 19: Sozin's Comet Part 2: The Old Masters - Aang sets out alone to decide how to deal with the Fire Lord while the rest of the group set out to find Uncle Iroh.
Chapter 20: Sozin's Comet Part 3: Into the Inferno - Zuko and Katara pair up to face Azula in the Fire Nation, while Sokka, Zuki and Toph team up to stop Lord Ozai and his army from destroying the Earth Kingdom.
Chapter 21: Sozin's Comet Part 4: Avatar Aang - The Grande Finale, including Aang's final confrontation with the Fire Lord and Zuko's with his sister.
While I found Chapter 17 mostly missable, the final four chapters (18-21) run together like a full-length movie! All loose ends (that I could think of) get tied up nicely, including the fates of all the main and secondary characters.
An excellent way to end the entire series!

Wayside - The Movie (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My kids and I absolutely love the Wayside School books for their highly entertaining stories and for the joyfully clever ways they play with language and storytelling. Unfortunately, very little of that comes through to the movie. Sure, the movie fits in LOTS of elements from the books, but many of them are introduced inexplicably and have little role in the story. What's missing is the zany logic that makes the books so charming. If you know the books, you may enjoy the references, but the movie itself ends up being pretty standard cartoon slapstick. My five-year-old still enjoys watching it, but I was disappointed that the special intelligence and heart of Wayside School has mostly been lost.

The Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It has to be said: although I'm a twentysomething, I still *love * to watch Nickelodeon cartoons, my absolute favourite being "The Wild Thornberrys." I've seen every episode (many more than once), and I was a little skeptical at the thought of a full-length animated movie.
Happily, the movie far surpassed my wildest expectations. The animation looks great, including the use of several CGI elements not present in the series (at some moments it reminded me of "The Lion King"). There is enough background information included (including the opening credits of the series) that newcomers won't feel left behind. The whole Thornberry gang is here, including the addition of Nigel's parents, and several new characters as well. The voice work is fantastic, including such well-known names as Tim Curry as Nigel, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea as Donnie, Rupert Everett as the baddie, and Marisa Tomei. The music is an eclectic mix of traditional and modern, featuring such talents as Sting, Dave Matthews, P. Diddy and Brandy, Youssou D'Nour, Sting, Baha Men, Nick Carter, Peter Gabriel and Hugh Masekela.
The story finds Eliza Thornberry, a twelve-year old with the magical ability to talk to animals, on a hunt for migrating elephants with her family, who are award-winning naturalists. Eliza's older sister Debbie is a moody, pop culture-obsessed Valley Girl who hates all the wilderness trekking. Donnie is the Bornean wild boy that the Thornberrys adopted, who is always causing trouble by making messes and stuffing things up his nose or down his pants. Darwin is Eliza's best friend, a chimpanzee with very human tastes, including his obsession with Cheese Munchies. Eliza starts out playing with the cubs of a cheetah friend, but when one of them is stolen by a poacher Eliza must rescue him. However, her parents send her to a London boarding school, where Eliza is miserable and doesn't fit in. The rest of the movie you'll have to see to believe!
There are some scary chase scenes, wounded animals and tense moments that might upset younger viewers, but overall "The Thornberrys Movie" does an excellent job of bringing the show to the big screen while remaining faithful to the humour, excellent ethnic music, and magical elements of the original series. One of the things that I love the most about the "Wild Thornberrys" is that the episodes take viewers all around the world, and the show's producers try to avoid ethnic stereotypes with the various characters, as well as adding authentic music and traditions. This is one cartoon that is witty, educational and downright fun for the whole family. There's something for everyone with "The Wild Thornberrys Movie."

SpongeBob SquarePants: SpongeBob vs. the Big One (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This DVD contains my favorite episodes: SpongeBob vs. The Big One, The Splinter, Slide Whistle Stooges, A Life in a Day, Sun Bleached, and Giant Squidward. I haven't seen "Spongebob vs. The Big One" or "Slide Whistle Stooges", but "The Splinter", "A Life in a day", "Sun Bleached", and "Giant Squidward" are my fav eps! When this DVD comes out i'm gonna buy it!
Here's the episode descripitions of each episode:
* SpongeBob vs. The Big One - SpongeBob and his friends are suddenly swept away out of Bikini Bottom after a big wave hits. Now to get back home, SpongeBob and his friends must ride the big wave. Guest starring Johnny Depp as Jack Kahuna Laguna.
* A Life in the Day - After Larry publicy humiliates Spongebob and Patrick on the beach claiming they never do anything dangerous, Patrick takes up daredevil stunts so he can be "living like Larry". But will his stunts get him hurt, or worse?!
* The Splinter - This episode is very similar to the Season 1 episode "Suds". After Spongebob gets a splinter in his finger, he's afraid to tell Mr. Krabs because of the "If a worker is injured, he goes home" policy. So he asks Patrick to remove it, but Patrick only makes it worse.
* Sun Bleached - Spongebob and Patrick try to get tans so they'll be invited to a beach party, but when Spongebob stays under the tanning booth too long, he becomes "sun bleached".
* Giant Squidward - After Spongebob and Patrick spray Squidward with "growth spray", he becomes 50 feet tall. And the Bikini Bottom residents fear him thinking he's a "monster".
* Slide Whistle Stooges (unaired episode) - SpongeBob and Patrick get new slide whistles and keep playing them, much to the annoyance of Squidward. He is getting so annoyed of it until he buys one and begins to like the toy himself.

The Mighty B: We Got the Bee (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the first DVD that Nickelodeon has released of the Mighty B! which is the best cartoon since Sponge Bob. There are 8 different episodes - We Got the Bee, So Happy Together, Sweet Sixteenth, Bee My Baby, Bee Afraid, Artificial Intelligence, Bat Mitzvah Crashers and Super Secret Weakness. The title episode features a great song "Running with the Rainbow Unicorn" and the extras include interviews with series star Amy Poehler and Andy Richter, who plays Bessie's little brother, Ben. It is great to finally get a DVD of this show since Nick doesn't show it as often as I wish they would! I can't wait for them to release the whole first season, but in the meantime, these are some classic episodes!

Nicktoons - Halloween - Tales of Fright (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this DVD as I am quite the connoisseur of Halloween specials; I can't get enough of them! Hey Arnold's 'Arnold's Halloween' strikes the jackpot with its War of the Worlds inspired storyline; it's sufficiantly moody and fun. Rugrats' 'Curse of the Werewuff' is a new entry into Nick's Halloween canon and a welcome one at that. A show that has become too precious as of late, this stops before going to far with its own "cuteness". I still prefer thir original Halloween episode 'Candy Bar Creep Show', but 'Werewuff' is still highly enjoyable! The Fairly Odd Parent's 'Scary GodParents' is equally hip and funny and SpongeBob SquarePants' 'Scaredy Pants' is perfect. Only the strange inclusion of two non-Halloween related Rocket Power stories stops me forom giving this a five-star rating; they have a Halloween epsiode so why wasn't it included? Their two entires seem pointless and only one is anywhere near being holiday themed. With so many great Halloween epsiodes left off the DVD, one has to wonder at this choice.

Back at the Barnyard: When No One's Looking (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I absolutely LOVE these barnyard critters--and the human ones as well! The humor is very obviously aimed at adults and is--in a word--FUNNY. On any given episode I can always count on nearly falling out of my seat laughing at least once or twice. I loved the full-length movie so much I went right out and bought this DVD containing episodes from the TV series. My only complaint is that there are only 8 of them -- here's hoping they'll release more episodes in the near future. A very clever, witty, and thoroughly enjoyable show. Kudos to both the writers and the actors on this one -- these guys are HILARIOUS.

Nick Picks, Vol. 1 (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)All the kids of the 90's know and loved all the old Nickelodeon shows: Rocko's Modern Life, The Angry Beavers, Are you afraid of the dark?, AHH! Real Monsters, Clarissa explains it all, Pete & Pete and the list goes on...
My question is.. Why aren't these shows on DVD, as a rememberance of the old Nickelodeon??! Why are they always spewing out all the new, and all alike, I might add, shows on DVD now, even though they still play them 12 hours a day already???!
Nick never plays these old, unqiue, well-written, funny, ORIGINAL shows on regular day-time runs, except maybe 1 hour on Sunday, from what I saw.
I know many kids, and adults today would enjoy and would buy, these old shows/cartoons on DVD today. I sure the heck would!
I loved all the old shows, they were never boring. Always original with creative, witty humor woven in the 15 to 30 mintues of your life that you could just watch and laugh or just enjoy.
Yes, Nick has been putting out 1 or 2 DVDs recently like the 1st seasons of Clarissa explains it all and Pete & Pete, but I truly miss all the cartoons Nick had, so why don't they put those on DVD.. I really hope they do... SOON!
I truly miss all the old nick shows, they made nick original, clever and great, I don't see that anymore on Nick.
How many times can you watch Danny Phantom, Spongebob or Avatar?, the plots get boring, in my opinion.
If you agree with anything I wrote here, please rate my review highly, or write a review of your own explaining your view on the Old verses the New Nick.OUT with the NEW, IN with the OLD! Long live 90's Nickelodeon!!
