Children of the Dog Star

***Children of the Dog Star*** is a New Zealander children's science fiction drama series that aired for 6 episodes in 1984.

## Plot

Gretchen Kierney visits her uncle's farm in rural New Zealand during the school holidays where she befriends a local Māori boy named Ronny Kepa, who has a troubled city past, and Bevis Elliott, who is the son of a loathed developer and is into birdwatching. Tensions are already high when the developer wants to buy a swamp for a housing estate, but Ronny's uncle is the guardian of a traditional tapu (Māori for forbidden) upon it. The swamp in question should not be touched as something sleeps must not be awakened that is unnatural.

Gretchen has an interest in science and mechanics where she gets fascinated by the farm's weathervane (where it is known as the daisy rod). However, the daisy rod bares a complex and terrifying significance where Gretchen and her new friends discover its connections with the far distant Sirius, or the Dog Star.

## Why It Rocks

1. It has a well-built up storyline with complex themes regarding constellations and Māori mythology.
2. It takes its considerate time to progress its narrative for a miniseries.
3. It has equal appeal to both children, due to its adventure elements akin to the works of Steven Spielberg and adults, due to its primarily dramatic nature and eerie tone.
4. The main characters are very well-rounded and three-dimensional:
	* Gretchen is a keen astronomer who is excited to stay at her uncle and aunt's place where she slowly learns the secrets of the farm as well as the swamp with her newfound friends encountering the twists and turns.
	* Ronny is a city boy with a troubled past who stays with his uncle to help better himself and embrace his Māori heritage before coming to terms with him and further betters his self-esteem when he becomes friends with Gretchen.
	* Bevis is an aspiring birdwatcher who goes against his mother's development ambitions and wants to spend time away from her, especially doing so when he joins Gretchen and Ronny.
5. Kolob is also a sympathetic character as he is there to educate the human race and telling the three not to have interfered wth him.
6. The props are well designed, especially the daisy rod and the parts of Kolob.
7. Dark and brooding atmosphere.
8. Decent special effects for 1984.
9. Excellent theme music that is haunting as is the score.
10. The bunker is an awesome set where scenes that take place there feel very scary.
11. There are comedic moments as well such as scenes involving the Mitchell brothers who serve as comic relief.
12. The Siriusians look convincingly frightening who add to the nightmare factor.

## The Only Bad Quality

1. The copyright stamp is inaccurate as the Roman numerals read MCMLXXIV (which translates to 1974) rather than MCMLXXXIV.
Barney & Friends

***Barney & Friends*** is an American children's television series created by Sheryl Leach and produced by HIT Entertainment. The series ran on PBS from April 6, 1992 to November 2, 2010.

## Plot

The series features the title character Barney, a purple anthropomorphic *Tyrannosaurus Rex* who conveys educational messages through songs and small dance routines with a friendly, optimistic attitude.

## Why It's Super Dee Duper

1. The show promotes strong positive messages about friendship, teamwork, cultural appreciation and problem solving. It also emphasizes active play.
2. Barney is a very appealing role model for little kids with his friendly and optimistic personality.
3. Catchy songs that help encourages kids to stay active.
4. Baby Bop (green), and BJ (yellow) are really cute.
5. Good acting from the child actors.
6. The show sometimes tackles serious topics such as disability. One of the kid characters is deaf and wears a hearing aid, and another has down syndrome.
7. Good songs like "I Love You", and "Apples and Bananas.
8. Some funny moments here and there.

## Bad Qualities

1. Barney's constant laughing and singing can become repetitive.
2. The "I Love You" song, while great, can be annoying at times.
3. Some episodes have filler in them.
4. There's some mean-spirited moments towards Baby Bop and BJ, such as Baby Bop eating cookies from the cookie jar or BJ getting a stomach ache.
5. The movie, Barney's Great Adventure, was a pretty bad film.

## Why It Rocks

3. Great voice acting, from TomSka and other YouTubers like Tobuscus and TheOdd1sOut.

	5. *The Muffin Song*

Buddies Thicker Than Water (Tom and Jerry)

**“Buddies Thicker Than Water”** is the 126th cartoon short of *Tom and Jerry*. It was released on November 1, 1962.

## Plot

Jerry rescues Tom from a blizzard, but will Tom repay the friendship?

## Why It’s Thicker Than Water

1. Brings back the charm of the classic era with Tom and Jerry reverting back to their original dynamic.
2. Despite being flanderized into a sadistic and malicious jerk who tortures Tom in the Gene Deitch era, Jerry is actually likable and has his original personality in this short as he is willing to help Tom out by letting him stay with him in his owner’s apartment during a blizzard. Also, unlike in most other shorts in the Gene Deitch era, his abuse towards Tom is justified because Tom betrays his kindness by throwing him out into the cold in favor of getting pampered by his thin female owner.
3. Tom’s abusive owner from the Gene Deitch era was thankfully retired starting in this short. Instead, Tom has a new thin female owner who is a much better character than said abusive owner and is more like Tom’s previous owners.
4. Although Jerry wins at the end of this short like most other shorts in the Gene Deitch era, it’s justified as Tom is very unlikable towards him.

## Bad Qualities

1. As usual for the Gene Deitch era, the animation is of poor quality and the sound effects are creepy.
2. Tom is very unlikable for betraying Jerry’s kindness to him by throwing him out in the cold. Thankfully, Jerry gives him his comeuppance.
Brain Freeze (Fanboy and Chum Chum)

***Brain Freeze*** is the 26th episode of *Fanboy and Chum Chum'*s second season. It is also the 52nd and final episode of the series overall as well.

## Plot

After discovering that the Berry Pink Frosty Freezy Freeze is discontinued, Fanboy and Chum Chum chase Berry down, and the duo make the biggest Frosty Freezy Freeze ever, leading into lunitic spree overnight, but when the boys wake up the next day, they forgot everything that happened, and even lost their underwear, so they enlist help from their friends, while retracing their steps to recover their memories and find their missing underwear.

## Why It Rocks

1. The characters are much more likable than usual, especially Fanboy & Chum Chum.
2. It is one of the few *Fanboy & Chum Chum* episodes that weren't terrible.
3. It ignores the usual moronic theme of the show and has a lot of action scenes, which were all pretty good.
4. Fanboy and Chum Chum are less moronic and more serious and a lot more likable in this episode.
5. The animation and soundtrack is better than usual.
6. Very interesting and creative plot.
7. Everyone is nicer to Fanboy and Chum Chum in this episode.
8. The ending is very funny, decent, and heartwarming.
9. It is one of the few series finales of a Nickelodeon show that doesn't suck.

## Bad Qualities

1. The Frosty Mart scene where Fanboy and Chum Chum barf out all of their Frosty Freezy Freeze all over each other is very disgusting and disturbing.
2. The Frosty Freezy Freeze monster at the end of the episode might be horrifying for some people.
3. The fact that their superpowers come from their underwear is kinda confusing.

He has a couple of really good friends who also help him in his strategic planning: Sherwood the Logistic King and Lola the Mega Enthusiast. Together they make a "Winning Trio!"

## Why It Rules

1. Episodes with creative and fun plots, like "Detention", "Pop Quiz", "Let Manetti Win" and "Kick-it Ball".
2. The show has a huge cast, full of funny and likable characters like Angelo himself, Lola, Sherwood, Tracy, Butterfingers, Cooper, Mr. Foot, Peter and Manetti.

Craig of the Creek

***Craig of the Creek*** is an American animated television series that premiered on March 30 2018 on Cartoon Network.

## Plot

The show follows a young boy named Craig, his two friends Kelsey and J.P., and their many adventures in the titular creek, described as a kid utopia of untamed wilderness in which tribes of children reign over tree forts and dirt bike ramps.

## Why It Rocks

1. It is highly imaginative. For example, being "it" in tag is portrayed as some sort of curse, and the creek is a place where kids rule.
2. The concept is empowering to kids in a *Codename: Kids Next Door way.*
3. Smooth animation which is similar to Steven Universe.
4. Decent character designs.
5. The theme song is awesome.
6. Craig, Kelsey, and J.P. are all very good characters that work off each other well.

8. Kelsey's internal monologues are dramatic yet funny.
9. Some good lessons such as "sometimes we all need a little space".
10. It's like Legends of Chamberlain Heights for kids!
11. Kelsey's pet Parakeet, "Mortimer" is adorable.
12. Good use of ironic humor, the "Elders of the Creek" are actually nerdy teen larpers.

## Bad Qualities

1. Craig's big brother, Bernard, is a jerk.
2. JP could be seen as a redneck stereotype.
3. One episode included the dead meme "Salt Bae."
4. Some bumpers removed some of the characters or the objects and replaced them with the Cartoon Network logo, so click on those links for three examples why:

Cagney & Lacey

Cagney is a single, career-minded woman, while Lacey is a married mother. In addition to going after the bad guys, the ladies have to combat sexism in the male-dominated workplace.

Captain Zed and the Zee Zone

**Captain Zed and the Zee Zone** is a 1991 British-American animated television series created and produced by Tony Collingwood, running for a couple seasons between 1991 and 1993. The concept evolved from a short film a few years earlier called Rarg (1986). It was a co-production amongst Tony Collingwood Productions Limited, Scottish Television Film Enterprises, and DiC Enterprises.

## Plot

In the Dream Zone, Captain Zed and his assistant, P.J., are a couple of patrollers who, under their boss, known as The Commander, operate out of Dream Base, in Dreamship 12A. Their realm is where they carry out their duty of keeping the Nightmare monsters, Snort and Mutter, away from interfering with the subconsciouses of children and prevent them from having unpleasant dreams.

## Why It Rocks

1. This is one of the more well-animated shows made or partly made by DiC. And there doesn't seem to be as many animation errors as some of DIC's other cartoons. Whatever animation goofs there are, are only kept to a minimum and the art style isn't too bad either.
2. The episodes' storylines are among the finest ever written in their creativity.
3. Both the protagonists (Captain Zed, P.J.) and the antagonists (Snort, Mutter) are great in their own ways. The various kids they meet are fine too and provide something fresh from episode to episode with the variety of themes, and concepts.
4. Although the background music sounds nice, the epic, instrumental theme is really what shines.
5. Fine cast of mostly Canadian voice actors and the voice acting is some of the finest ever heard.
6. It may well be one of the DiC shows that outdoes some of the others in several ways.
7. It's innovative with its references to slumber, including the counting sheep who keep an eye on the dream monitors, the pillow-shaped dream ships, and the little pillows on the patrollers' suits for epaulettes.
8. The messages and lessons are given well while combined with good humor.
9. Even though the theme of this shares similarities with Midnight Patrol/Potsworth and Co. and The Dreamstone, it still stands out in its own right.

## Bad Qualities

1. For some rather ridiculously fouled-up reason, this was the only DIC cartoon from 1991 that was never broadcasted in the U.S. nor released on any home media in the states.
2. Some may prefer and miss P.J.'s original design from the first season rather than her redesign in the second.

## Trivia

* This is one of the three dream-themed cartoons from the early 1990s. The others are Midnight Patrol: Adventures In The Dream Zone (a.k.a. Potsworth and Co.) and The Dreamstone.
* This is the only non-celebrity DiC cartoon from 1991. The other cartoons from that year were Hammerman, Pro Stars, Wish Kid, and Chip & Pepper's Cartoon Madness.
Awesome Magical Tales

***Awesome Magical Tales*** (also known as ***Teenage Fairytale Dropouts*** in the first season) is an animated series created by Adolfo Martinez Vara and José C. Garcia de Letona.

Ánima Estudios has launched an official YouTube channel for the Spanish-language version of the show on 7 May 2015, with an English-language version being launched a week later on 14 May 2015.

The show has been recently acquired by Bejuba! Entertainment for new distribution rights and was renamed *Awesome Magical Tales*. The show has also been renewed for a second season by Australia's ABC Me after successful ratings during its domestic broadcast.

## Plot

Set in a fairy tale-like setting, three friends, Jeremiah, the son of the giant in Jack and the Beanstalk, Trafalgar, the nephew of Merlin the Wizard, a wingless fairy named Fury, the daughter of Tooth Fairy, live through a tough life as teenagers and are determined to be themselves, despite their parents' whim and their fairy tale origins.
Bugsted: Back to the Moon (TV Miniseries 2013)

***Bugsted*** is a transmedia entertainment brand created by Vodka Capital, Televisa Consumer Products and Ánima Estudios. The property includes mini-series of videos (13 episodes), video games and related toys.

## Plot

Bugsted was an ordinary bug that was accidentally taken to the Moon with the 1969 Apollo 11 mission, and then left behind when the astronauts left. Hidden away on the dark side of the Moon, Bugsted developed a unique survival mechanism: spontaneous cloning. Each new challenge Bugsted faced resulted in a new clone to handle the situation. Before long, the dark side of the Moon was inhabited by a whole community of Bugsteds.

In September 2012, a space probe collecting Moon samples accidentally brought a Bugsted back to Earth. That stressful, unexpected journey trapped in the space module triggered his defense mechanism, leading to the arrival of hundreds of Bugsteds on our planet. Stranded on Earth, they make it their mission to return to the Moon.
Audio News

**Audio News** is a Brazilian dubbing studio, founded by Ricardo Ribeiro and his nephew, Brazilian voice actor and director Marco Ribeiro. In 2009, Ricardo Ribeiro leaves the company and sold his half to his nephew, Marco Ribeiro, who became the majority shareholder of the company. The company's headquarters are located in Alto da Boa Vista, in the city of Rio de Janeiro.

## Why They Rock

1. They do great quality dubs for various Nickcoms, TV movies and Nicktoons from Nickelodeon, some Nick Jr. series, some Fox series (such as *The Simpsons* since Season 18), some cartoons and shows that were aired on Futura, cartoons from other countries like Canada (*Total Drama*) and Italy (The Seasons 3-7 of *Winx Club* and the spin-off, *World of Winx*), the second dub of *VeggieTales* made by them and much more. Their dubbing is even good in bad series too like *Adult Party Cartoon*.
2. Some of their dubs are very well known, due to their good quality. The second dub of *Yu Yu Hakusho* is an example of a well-done dub by Audio News themselves, so much so that it is the best known dub of the anime in Brazil, than the first one that was also made in the studio, which was aired on the extinct Rede Manchete.
3. Good directions in their dubs, like from the late Ana Lúcia Menezes.
4. The voice actors (including Marco Ribeiro himself, the studio's owner, known for being the Brazilian voice actor of Robert Downey Jr., the Iron Man from Marvel Cinematic Universe and Woody from *Toy Story*) do a great voice acting in the studio's dubbed productions.
5. Great voiceover by Marco Ribeiro himself and Márcio Seixas, who was once an announcer for the now extinct and legendary Brazilian dubbing studio Herbert Richers.

## The Only Bad Quality

1. They made a few bad dubs, like *PopPixie* for example, due to having voice actors from Belo Horizonte, instead of the official Rio de Janeiro voice actors of the characters and their first dub of *VeggieTales*.

## Trivia

* Audio News owner, Marco Ribeiro, also owns dubbing studio Wan Marc (formerly Wan Mächer), also from Rio de Janeiro.
Constant Payne

**Constant Payne** is a 2001, American, animated, unsold and unaired TV pilot. It was created by Micah Wright, who also wrote, voice-acted, and directed. Production was by Nickelodeon Animation Studios.

## Plot

Alexander "Doc" Payne comes from a long line of family members involved in public service. They've always fought for the greater good and believed in what's right. His daughter, Amanda, is the youngest and latest family member to join in this. But her dad would prefer she not follow in his footsteps. However, Doc's brother and Amanda's uncle, Welton, isn't on their side. When the two brothers meet up, Amanda goes along on an adventure ride before school.

## Why This Isn't Such A "Payne"

1. If this had gone on to become a series, it would've been the first action Nicktoon, which also would've been a nice change of pace from the more typical fare.
2. Nice-looking, anime-influenced art style courtesy of Madhouse. The animation is just as stupendous.
3. The writing makes a great first (albeit only) impression, giving a taste of what more there would've been.
4. Character designs that have plenty of distinction from one another.
5. Characters who also give a good impression despite the viewers getting to know the ones they do get to see being brief.
6. Excellent, instrumental, horn-driven theme song to get one pumped. The other music is good too.
7. Well-done vocal performances.
8. Action-packed sequences that are thrilling and deliver well.
9. The dialogue is put to great use.
10. It is a paragon of something that was full of potential that it had going for it.

## The Only Bad Quality

1. It was dropped before the green light for it could be approved. The ball was dropped on it for two reasons: The conflict that the show's creator had with the powers-that-be at Nickelodeon and the scenes that involve the aircraft colliding with buildings. The 9/11 incident partly affected the plans for a series.
A Pie in Every Pocket (Good Eats)

*This article or section is a stub. You can help the Best TV Shows Wiki by expanding it.*

**A Pie in Every Pocket** is the 12th episode of season 9 of the cooking show, Good Eats.

## Plot

Alton Brown makes a handy dough for pocket pies, a pie on the go and discusses its origins.

## Why It Rocks

1. The dough Alton uses is extremely versatile and can be used in a number of recipes, not just the fillings he made for the show (Grust made some pies using taco salad as a filling).
2. Alton explains that for the dough to work, you can't think of traditional pie dough but biscuit, due to strength and flexibility.
3. Two other recipes are filling curried mango filling and chocolate filling. The recipes for this episode can be found here.
4. The dough can also be used to make your own toaster pastries, or Pop Tarts.
5. Discover a clever method to peel and cut mangoes.
6. There are three different methods to cook the pocket pies, oven, pan-fry, and deep frying.

## Bad Qualities

1. If you believe in gluten being bad for you, then you should know, this recipes requires gluten to be formed.

## Reception

IMDB users have given the episode a 7.7 out of 10.
Canimals

Canimals is a 2011-2018 American-Korean TV Show.

## Why it Rocks

2. Most characters are very memorable and cute.
3. Catchy soundtrack.
4. Cool episodes. At least *most* of them...
5. The storyline gets very interesting at times.

8. Sometimes the Canimals can be such creative.
9. The pilot episodes were actually decent.
10. Great morals, for example sleeptime is important.
11. In one episode, Pucca appeared on a backpack.

## Bad qualities

1. The burping Uly running gag, while memorable, is overused and an example of **gross out humor in kid cartoons.**
2. In one episode, there was a horrible plot hole, where a kid **gets *blamed* for shattering a bowl, when the Canimals did it to save Toki.** This proves that humans are pretty much idiots.
3. Some episodes are hard to watch, especially Can vs. Shell or Super Can, being a torture on Fizzy.
4. While the animation is great and improved, it can be stiff, uncanny and cheap sometimes. Thankfully, the animation has improved in season 2.
5. For some episodes, there are *horrible* endings. In "Dolly Disaster", Ato and Oz are stuck on the celling after saving Nia's doll; In "Ants and Cans", Fizzy, Toki and Uly nearly get ambushed by ants; and in "Wild Can" (the uncut Korean print), the Canimals get thorns on their head and the iris closes on Oz screaming.

3. Great voice performances from Sean Astin, Kari Wahlgren, Eric Bauza, and Richard Steven Horvitz.

8. It is one of Maxwell Atoms' works.
9. It's a lot of fun to watch.

12. Cute and Great character designs.
13. Great Theme Song.

3. There are some bad episodes like Goat Story*.*
4. Some gross-out humor and imagery.
5. Chester can be regarded as a Megward the Wizard at times.

## Why It Rocks in the House!

1. The series is a nice follow up from *That's So Raven*, as Cory Baxter grows up to get his own show and move from San Francisco, California to Washington, D.C.
2. Cory Baxter and his dad, Victor Baxter are still their old and charming selves.
3. It's got new characters such as Newt Livingston, Sophie Martinez, Meena Paroom, Jason Stickler, and more. They are likeable here and there.

11. Great set design as it was filmed in Washington, D.C.

## Bad Qualities

1. Poor special effects.
2. Sophie can be bratty and act more of a Karma Houdini at times.
3. The last episode, "Mad Songs Pay So Much" was a very disappointing ending as it feels like the series ended on a cliffhanger and does not feel like an actual series finale. And the story does not even continue in *Raven's Home*.
	* Speaking of which, this finale was an awful way to end the show and would have been a bad way to end that *That's So Raven* franchise if *Raven's Home* didn’t happen.
4. The laugh track plays non-stop.

## Trivia

* The series marks a Disney Channel first, as it is the channel's first spin-off, produced by It's a Laugh Productions, Inc. This is also the only Disney Channel spin-off series to be broadcast in standard definition for the entire length of the show.
* Reruns of the series have not been aired on Disney Channel, or on Disney XD; however, they continue to air on the Family channel in Canada.
* In 2014, Disney Channel started airing a weekly block called Disney Replay on Wednesdays nights, during which episodes of *Cory in the House* air alongside *That's So Raven,* Kim Possible*, and among others.*
* Jason Dolley, actor of Newt Livingston would later play PJ Duncan in another Disney Channel show, *Good Luck Charlie*.
* It spawned memes like "*Cory in the House* the best anime ever created", possibly originating from MeiAIDS' trap video "TOP 27 ANIME BOOBS".

A je to! Pat & Mat

aiF Studio
Ateliéry Bonton Zlín
4 (films)

**Pat & Mat** is Czechoslovakian stop motion series made by Lubomír Beneš and Vladimír Jiránek in 1976,

As of 2022, there are 129 (and one unaired episode) episodes.

## Plot

In each episode, two tinkerers named Pat (one, who has yellow sweater) and Mat (one, who has red, formerly gray sweater) are making inventions or solution to their problems, which end up being a mess or with success.

## Why this show is "A Je To!" indeed?

* Great Stop-motion animation, that gets better every season, sadly it downgraded in the latest season (*Pat a Mat kutí)*
* Some of moments in this show are hilarious (like Mat acting like fireman in episode "Bethlehem ")
* Great Soundtrack composed by Petr Skoumal, Zdeněk Zdeněk and Luboš Fišer.
* Simply, but creatively made episodes.
* Good intros songs, Especially the AiF one.

## Bad Qualities

* There was downgrade in the latest season (*Pat a Mat kutí), with the animation being more lazily made.*
* In early 2022, Lubomír Beneš Jr. - son of Marek Beneś, made a NFT collection of original frames from episode "Cactus" from 2011, but NFTs are mostly criticized negatively by people
* Names of characters can be confused with MatPat or Postman Pat
* After the death of Lubomír Beneš, episode "Playing Cards" was made without Lubomír Beneš' permission, this caused episode to be not released but it was nominated for Annecy 99

## Trivia

* Pat and Mat appeared in commercials in some countries (like for example. in Poland for Tablica.pl, now known as OLX.pl , ČPP car insurance in Czech Republic or LIDL supermarket in Netherlands)
* In some countries, Pat & Mat were dubbed to some languages (though they had no dialogue in original), such as English (for Korean students) or Dutch.
* The characters' names were given in 1989.
* Episodes made from 1975-1989 had Mat wearing a gray sweater instead of a red one, because someone objected that the colors of the sweaters (Red and Yellow) were chosen to mock Soviet-Chinese Relations. The Creators were forced to change it from red to gray until 1989, when Communism in Czechoslovakia collapsed, and it was safe to make Mat's sweater Red again.

It was Toei’s second co-production with Marvel (the first being Spider-Man).

## Why It Rocks

1. Prior to 1995 (at the time of Chouriki Sentai Ohranger's run), This was considered as the very first official Super Sentai, Since the previous two were only considered as Sentai, back then.
2. The Rangers are pretty unique since their designation represent different countries, Such as;
	* Masao Den (Battle Japan, Japan formerly known as Nippon-Koku)
	* Kensaku Shiraishi and Makoto Jin (Battle Cossack, Soviet Union)
	* Kyosuke Shida (Battle France, Republic of France)
	* Shirou Akebono (Battle Kenya, Kenya)
	* Diane Martin and Maria Nagisa (Miss America, U.S.A/United States of America)
3. It also introduces some of Sentai's firsts.
	* The first official orange ranger (Battle Cossack)
	* The first official sentai Robo (Battle Fever Robo)
	* The first unspecified colored ranger (Battle Kenya, alters between black or green)
	* The first female ranger replacement (Maria Nagisa)
4. The Theme Song and Ending Song are both very catchy.
5. The Suit Designs are very unique and distinct from the traditional sentai suits.
6. Satan Egos is an extremely terrifying, intimidating, and shady villain, throughout the run of the show he is only seen in a black curtain, most of his actions are caused by his men, and he doesn't back down when his organization faces defeat as he comes up with a more sinister and evil plan in order to defeat the Battle Fever Rangers and their base of operation.
7. Kensaku's death was really sad but at the same time somewhat hilarious due to the gestures he was making at the time, it almost had a theatre feel, but it was still pretty emotional.
8. Diane's departure was also really sad as she returns back to her home country and we would never see her again.
9. The action scenes were very awesome and well-choreographed.
10. The finale of this show was decent.

## Bad Qualities

1. There are some unlikable characters such as, Diane Martin/Miss America I and Kyosuke Shida/Battle France
2. Depending on your point of view, Miss America's suit could be a bit creepy a times.

## Trivia

* The Reason why Yukio Itou was written off in the show is at the time of filming he got recently married or was getting married, so he left the show to spend more time with his significant other.
* It is the only sentai season to feature a character that has the same name as their actor's (Diane Martin).
* As part of a deal with Toei, Battle Fever J is part of the Marvel Universe and was given the designation Earth-79203.
Centaurworld

**Centaurworld** is a *musical animated show* created by Megan Nicole Dong, with songs by Dong and Dominic Bisignano. It was produced by Netflix Animation and Sketchshark Productions for Netflix. It also premiered on July 30th, 2021 and ended on December 7th, 2021.

## Why Its Splendid in Centaurworld

1. The premise of a war horse missing her rider and getting transported to a weird world of *vibrant, singing centaurs of all species, shapes, and sizes* is interesting and well executed here.
2. Very fluid smooth animation and the cartoony centaur designs don't clash in with the designs of the humans and Horse (season 1 Episodes 1-7).
3. Likeable characters such as:
	* Horse is a warhorse who is transported to Centaurworld and is determined to find her rider while learning many valuable lessons.
		+ During the episode *"Johnny Teatime's Be Best Competition: A Quest for the Sash"* her appearance became cartoony and is still present.
	* Wammawink is an alpaca centaur who is motherly to her herd and cares about them a lot because she used to live in the Lost Forest before it was destroyed in a devastating war. Although she had an argument with Horse, they warm-up to each other and became best friends.
	* Each centaur of the herd have *different personalities* from each other and are funny in their own way
	* Rider is a warrior and Horse’s best friend who is tasked with returning a magical artifact to her general to save the world from an invading horde of minotaurs.
4. Amazing and emotional songs such as “Hello Rainbow Road”, “What If I Forget Your Face”, “Who Is She?” and an eerie song “The Nowhere King”.
	* Even comedic, funny songs such as "Spells For Days", "Frustration Tears" and "Breathe in a Bag".
5. The adventure, comedy, lore and musicals are blended in well together for a show that looks very colorful and vibrant.
6. The show has a cinematic vibe; sometimes it feels like watching a movie instead of a show.
7. The Nowhere King is a great antangonist with a compelling backstory.

## Bad Qualities

1. The show sometimes rely too much on childish jokes and contains toilet humor.
2. Despite being rated TV-Y7 in Netflix, it also uses adult humor and it even has some dark scenes.
	* One example of adult humor is during the episode *"Ride the Whaletaur Shaman!"* when Wammawink has an affinity for mermen and has roped Glendale into helping her illustrate dozens of sultry magazines about them might make the viewers uncomfortable.
3. Some characters might be annoying and unfunny for viewers such as Glendale and Durpleton.
	* Depending on your view, Comfortable Doug can be considered annoying.
4. The first-half of Season 2 feels like a downgrade compared to Season 1.
5. We never get to see Zulius' backstory or how he made it in Cat Valley.

## Reception

Centaurworld was well received upon it's release, and has a rating of 7.7/10 on IMDb, 92% on Google users, and a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
