Livin' It Up! With the Bratz
The beginning of a new school year is a time of anticipation and opportunity and it's up to viewers to help Bratz girls Cloe, Sasha, Yasmin, and Jade choose this year's activities in this interactive CGI production.  By using their remotes, viewers decide whether the Bratz foursome will put on a Broadway show or a talent show, create a pop or rap music video, and determine the format of the yearbook. With two to six distinct paths at each choice point, there are a multitude of possible scenarios, but the separate paths converge following each segment to offer a common set of choices leading into the next scene.   While the stylized, sassy Bratz girls exude teen attitude, morality prevails as they work hard and express themselves through acceptable creative activities.  Virtues like respect, niceness, and a commitment to education are emphasized in the Bratzline segment in which the girls offer advice on everything from friendship to fashion and party tips.  Bonus features include an interactive quiz feature that lets viewers discover which Bratz girl she most closely resembles and commentaries by Cloe and Yasmin.  (Ages 7 to 12)--Tami Horiuchi
