I've got no proof ferit but no proof aginit either.
Dr. Anna, certified as a medical doctor, veterinarian, optometrist, AND a firefighter, is arguably the most essential person in the entire Neighborhood of Make-Believe. She's obviously into achievements--she sings the "you can be more than one thing" song. and she marries.... the BAKER. Baker Aker bakes banana bread for what, 20 people? He has no other jobs, even though there is obviously a major labor shortage (see, for example, Prince Tuesday). And Baker Aker is so obviously into Mom Tiger.
Dr. Anna is a CATCH. Why would she stoop?
This sub was directly reference in the comments. Either I missed it despite scrolling back past when it was posted or no ones posted it. It's a parody. I haven't seen much of blippi (thank god!) But it seemed accurate ๐. If it's not posted by the end of the day I'll post it. I mainly just don't want to track it down again ๐.
not a parent, but i babysat my baby nephew at his house for a whole month now and i guess i am qualified to complain
the show he has been lately obsessed with is Mickey Mouse's Clubhouse and honestly i never realized how much of a bastard that lil mouse is. the ep that made me realize this was called sum like 'Mickey's surprise' or sth like that idk how is it called in english.
Basically the mf made his friends be all worried and up and down doing shit and solving sum stupid ass puzzles (that always had sth to do with him) he made bc he told them he had a 'surprise' for em just for the fuckin surprise to be A SHITTY ROUND OF FIREWORKS (with his hideous head shape) AND HIS MAIN THEME PLAYING AS WELL. All that effort for that shit that revolved around him
Michael Mouse you're my enemy
So the island where Magnifico founded Rosas looks small, like way smaller than Cyprus or Mallorca.
Can it economically and agriculturally support its population? Maybe it's a major trade power like Venice?
Or does Magnifico just magic everything the populace needs to sustain itself?
Yes, there is a full cartoon series based on the classic bedtime book series. Gorgeous animation, this show is adorable and I say this as an almost 21 year old woman with no kids of my own.
Full episodes of the show are available to watch for free on peacock and on the official Guess How Much I Love You YouTube channel.
If you and your kids are fans of cozy, wholesome, feel-good, shows that give you the warm and fuzzies like Little Bear or Bear in the Big Blue House, then I think you and your kids would like this show too.
At the beginning of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, we see him say the magic words, Meeska Mooska Mickey Mouse to make the Clubhouse materialize from the earth. His so-called โfriendsโโ-Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Pluto, Goofy, Pete, etc. are already in the Clubhouse waiting for him to speak the Clubhouse into existence. Once he starts to play, Mickey is obviously the center of their lives. Heโs the ringleader and hero of almost every plot, the savior in nearly every storyโthe stories that he creates himself.
When heโs done and his drooling sycophants sing the Hot Dog Song, he puts the Clubhouse back into the earth.
All those characters only exist at Mickeyโs whim. What happens when the clubhouse is not in use by Mickey? What is the nature of their existence? Does freewill exist in the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse universe, or are they only playthings in the hand of a cruel god?
Why in gods name is his Stegosaurus shapeshift so tiny while spideys t-Rex is humungous???
The average size of stegosaurus according to a quick google (please go easy on me Dino-enthusiasts) is 21-30 feet long and 10-14 feet tall. Spin is like 4 feet tall and 5 feet long lmao.
Meanwhile spideyโs trex is 10 times his size when the average size of a t-Rex is 12 feet tall and 40 feet long?
As I type this out Iโm wondering if itโs just dimensions in terms of framing shots in the show. For example when they transform to show off the Dinoโs to the students in the museum a full grown stegosaurus next to a trex would be too big to fit in the museum?
I know itโs a kids show and Iโm really reading into this too much but everytime spin transform into the baby stegosaurus it unnecessarily pisses me off.
We have all been sick with Norovirus the last 3 days so weโve been watching a LOT of spidey and itโs clearly causing me distress, someone please corroborate my complaints ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
So Hank is just gone all Christmas Eve night? And the parents donโt care? And then first thing Christmas morning he dips out to tree fort again? Wild.
Is it just me, or do the Paw Patrol frequently seem to have some sort of conflict with eagles? I swear I've seen at least 5 aggressive eagles in the first few seasons. What's going on?
This was mostly a thing during the late 90s-2010s. And mostly with animated shows (with Blue's Clues being the exception).
But like shows like Little Einsteins, The Backyardigans, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Max & Ruby Clifford's Puppy Days, Pinky Dinky Doo, etc., they all are American or Canadian shows that have a British dubbing.
They still do it with modern shows too. Americans don't really do that with British shows. The exceptions being Bob the Builder, Tickety Toc, and Peppa Pig (apparently there was also an Americanized dubbing of Thomas and Friends but I grew up with the British voices).
But like, why is this even a thing in the first place? We all speak English. Yes it's different dialects sometimes, but it's still English! So why the dubover?
The kids in Pete the Cat are always naked, but the adults wear clothes. The kids also put on clothes when they go to the beach, like Tom and Jerry.
I remember an episode of Pete the Cat where Grumpy's mom was feeding Baby Tadpole milk when frogs are amphibians. The baby should be eating algae, not mother's milk!
Grumpy Toad plays the bass. I'm talking about that bass you see at jazz concerts, not rock tours!
Pete the Cat's family band contains a piano, a clarinet, bongos, and an electric guitar, making it a classical-jazz-tropical-rock band.
In the books, Pete is shown to talk alot, despite not having a mouth, but TV show Pete mostly talks in sign language.
My sister thinks Emma has a fake French accent, so there should be a French-American actress for Emma, not a young white teenager.
Sometimes, after an episode of Pete the Cat which had a major event, at least one episode later, it takes place before that happened.
I know, Pete the Cat is a kids show, but also, his family is off-breed. His mom's a calico, and his dad's a tabby.
Most of the cat character's last names are "Cat" (which makes sense tbh), while the prarie dogs' last names are "Burrow", making kids confused if there is an animal named a burrow.
Some episodes, like Pete's Birthday, are called by another name to Prime Video.
Part 2 coming soon!
My daughter used to watch this show and I found it disturbing. The premise for those unfamiliar was your average family with a secret (they were vampires) pretending to be normal in a regular suburban neighborhood. Vampirina, the child vampire, had a friend Poppy. At some point Poppy learned the family secret. She was then encouraged by the vampire parents to lie to her parents to help keep the secret. Often the two girls would be in some kind of danger during the episode.
I am not ok with my daughter thinking it is normal to keep secrets for her friendsโ parents. Especially if she were put into a dangerous or uncomfortable situation. Never mind the fact that I may not want my daughter hanging out in a vampire home at all.
"Elinor Wonders Why" remains one of my daughter's favorite shows and I also love it for various reasons. I have found myself dozing off to it mostly thanks to their voices and the relaxing synthpop music that often plays during episodes. I also find "Molly of Denali" to be super relaxing.
Does anyone else have such shows?
Pterodactyls. Are. Not. Dinosaurs. And for that matter, neither is Elasmosaurus. Why is he giving accurate scientific information about animals and other things and giving a false sense of security when he lies to these children about pterodactyls?
i was forced to sit through these bootleg videos of peppa pig. The animation is off, the themes of the videos are inappropriate for children and the same sound effects are repeated ad naseum. for some reason they constantly use the voice clip of Michael Scott saying "GOD PLEASE NO". The channel is inexplicably called "HeartbrokenHusbands" and the banner makes it look like it isn't even aimed at children

My 3 year old didn't appreciate when we were watching Ms Rachel and I started screaming "What's in the box?!!".
Hate having to wait so long for him to get my references.
Lowly has no home of his own, no job, no personal freedom, just a conspicuous apple car that ensures he can be spotted from miles away. He's always smiling and being helpful, but is it his choice? Maybe the Cat family isn't just keeping Lowly Worm. Maybe they're "loaning" him out to the workers of Busytown like they're passing around property. But then, why do they let him operate all kinds of vehicles like cars, boats, airplanes, and even a space ship? Wouldn't he just escape?
Well, perhaps the Cat family's basement is more sinister than it appears.
Why is he always hiding around the house? The Cats always find him, which sends a sinister message: "we know where you are." Well, maybe he's not hiding, maybe he is searching for something (or someone) that the Cats are holding to ensure his obedience.
Mommy Cat is the unholy matriarch. She's always watching and smiling. She seems a little too sweet. Like honey on a blade. And Daddy Cat sees everything but does nothing. He's submissive and doesn't (or is afraid to) do anything. Perhaps he's been broken into compliance too.
Huckle and Sally are probably innocent bystanders. But they are headed down a dark path. Huckle acts out at school where his hair trigger temper growing ever thinner due to the teasing about living with a worm. One day he snaps and viciously attacks a classmate over a toy wagon, becoming a story on the nightly Busytown news.
Sally has become...quiet. She has a thousand yard stare. Her unnaturally wide smile coupled with laughter arriving at the wrong moments suggest she knows something no one else does. The meds are supposed to steady her, but maybe they don't work well enough. Maybe she still hears the screams at night echoing through the vents that connect her bedroom to the basement.
There is something dark going on in that house.
But Lowly? He's still smiling, because he has to. But for how long?
