Okay, now don't get me wrong, I'm a teen and I really shouldn't be watching this. But young kids, particularly ones under the age of 6 really deserve better content to watch and Cocomelon isn't that.

My first flaw with the show is that the animation is way too slow. I mean compared to another CGI show aimed at young children such as Ready Jet Go, which has faster animation, is much more interesting to watch and contains much better CGI. Which leads to my next issue with Cocomelon.

Secondly, the CGI is very vapid and resembles more like a shovelware PS1/Nintendo 64 game more than an actual show compared to other shows aimed at the same audience. I mean you'll see a huge difference when you compare Cocomelon with another CGI show like another popular preschool show (in this case, PAW Patrol). Unlike Cocomelon, PAW Patrol has pretty decent CGI and you can tell they took the time to animate the show rather than rushing to produce something that makes Bubsy 3D look like Super Mario Galaxy in comparison.

My third and quite possibly the most obvious flaw with this show is that is this show is simply for "kids only". What makes most preschool shows I like (namely, Sesame Street, Bluely, Alphablocks, and Cyberchase) is that those shows know that parents will be watching it with them instead of being something that'll distract an a child via over-stimulants.

Final Words: It's not good. Not the worst preschool show out there, but parents are better off looking for something produced by a company that puts effort into their shows such as Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount, Sesame Workshop, WildBrain, Nelvana, PBS, or BBC. The only thing that's keeping it from having a 1/10 is that it IS slightly educational to give it credit.

The first three Ice Age movies played a pretty big role in my childhood often competing with other movie franchise such as The Land Before Time, Minions, and even Disney. But The Adventures of Buck Wild is just a typical sequel. Much like that Land Before Time movie (you know, the one with the three dinosaurs no one liked), this movie just felt like Disney (who brought Fox in 2019) was melting the already small Ice Berg that was the franchise we all once thought was dead.

The CGI, while pretty underwhelming, wasn't that bad (especially compared to something such as Minions or even Toy Story 4 for that matter) it still felt like a downgrade from Dawn of the Dinosaurs. And the story writing was forgetful at best.

My final thoughts? This film isn't the worst Ice age film, but that doesn't mean it's good. It just didn't feel right when the 20th Century Fox logo was replaced by the beautiful yet VERY annoying Disney logo. So I'd pass unless you are a diehard ice age fan.

Whenever I think of PBS, I always think of fun and creative educational shows that all ages can enjoy. But Boohbah, is a different story. This show seemly lacks the educational content that most PBS shows are known for and the exercise scenes, are pure nightmare fuel! So despite it being on PBS, it lacks the educational content that they have. I'd rather watch Barney than this.

Baby shark was really big back in 2019. So big that it became annoying to hear even a note of it. But when I heard that they were producing a show on it, I was like "oh no, this can't be". But after checking it out, it's honestly a pretty wholesome show and feels like a Family Guy for preschoolers. But then again, I'm not even close to the show's demographic and I personally think that a preschooler would enjoy it! Hopefully it will put PAW Patrol into it's grave.

Base of off the books by Roger Hargraves, the Timbuctoo series gets a TV adaptation! The characters still have the same personalities from the book series as well as each episode revolving around a different animal. I also like the fact that each animal is named after the noises they make. For example, Moo is a Bovine. While the show can get pretty creepy at times, it's a rather underrated British show that's constantly being overshadowed by the Mr Men franchise. But that my only flaw of the show if you exclude the rather annoying fans on scratch that think everything is a rip-off of this.

Alright, Rainbow Ruby. While the theme song is a banger, the majority of the show is pretty underwhelming when you compare it to other female-oriented shows. The show basically revolves around a little girl named Ruby and her world full of toys. While the CGI's decent, the plots can be very underwhelming at times. And some of the characters really seem to lack development. While True and the Rainbow Kingdom is superior to this, it is still nonetheless a decent show despite how underwhelming it is.

Wonder how I got my username from? Well, this is to blame. Madeline is a suprisingly good show from the start to end (despite all of the flanderazation during new adventures). While the specials (looking at you, Madeline's Christmas) can get pretty boring at times, the grand majority of episodes are pretty solid when it comes to voice acting, plots and humor. Not to mention that Pepito and Miss Clavell are pretty likeable too. The animation is pretty solid too. My only irk with the show is the (extremely) over-repetitive songs! Whatever you do, expect at least one song every episode.

Numberblocks is a pretty solid show in my opinion. The animation is amazing and the songs are pretty catchy. Not to mention that some episodes even teach things that aren't even apart of preschool mathematics such as Multiplication and Division (take that, Team Umizoomi)! Aside from the wildly toxic fanbase that even makes Vyond look sane in comparison, my only problem is that One can become a pretty arrogant blockhead at times. But overall, I recommend the show and if you hate it, I'm okay with it.

You & Me... Oh You and Me, I've been waiting for ages to encounter this show and I'd say it's worth the wait. I don't know why the other person said that JP is a bad role model when he portrays a positive attitude. The other monsters can range from pretty cute to downright horrifying. I'd recommend it.

Now the first time I saw this, I was thinking "now this looks interesting" and after I watched it, I thought that the humor was pretty good. Quantum Ray's dumbness somehow makes the experience better. Robbie's very relatable as a teenage boy myself, Doctor Buckleworth, he's the worst of the bunch, but her nerdy attitudes remind me a lot of Milhouse from the Simpsons. And then there's Atee & Geecy. Both teenage aliens that I personally like their personalities. While they can be annoying, the show doesn't feel the same without them. The show only has 13 episodes, making it pretty easy to complete and I recommend this show if you're into Teenage boys with a team of robots and aliens.

Jerry and the Raiders is a pretty decent show for me. While Nicole and Jerry are constantly being tortured by Jerry's toys, they still endure to the end with smiles on their faces. While my only complaint is the CGI. It look's underwhelming. But overall, the humor's decent and the cast of characters are likable.

Whenever Nick Jr and Disney Jr Zig by desperately pandering towards the hip and cool crowd, PBS zags with zany new ideas and this is no exception. The first time I saw this show (It was during an Inspector Gadget marathon on Qubo), I was surprised by how cute and (somewhat) relatable the cast is even for Teens like myself. Not to mention that it gives me Alfred Hedgehog vibes too. Which gives me a fresh bit of nostalgia. I hope this show gets an emmy award someday. Because it's the best show for 2020 in my opinion.

You know religious Cartoons, Some are fun and informative. While others, such as this, are absolute trash. The first time I've ever heard of this was on a Phantomstrider list and though "Now how could this be bad?" and when I saw that (most) of the antagonists of the show were mad scientists, I then thought "Now why would you hate science all because of one Theory?" Heck, there are even some scriptures that even have scientific information! I'd rather watch Boople or Donkey Ollie over this. The only religous show I think that's worse than this is the infamous Tomorrow's Pioneers.

Whenever I see a reboot of one of my favorite cartoons, I've always feel doubtful if it has the charm of the original. But Badou, is an exception. Though the CGI could surprise some and the lack of some beloved ones as well (such as Madame). But the increase of new ones as well as it's quirky humor redeems it. It's a reboot that I recommend very much. It has the same charm as the original.

This show is very memorable. We have very likeable and memorable cast, Such as Princes Cleo, Captain Leo, Etc. Though I'm sad that George and Martha had to be sacrificed for this toon, but the memorable cast and catchy theme song really redeems it. Also, for those who hate it, you could always wait untill 4 PM to watch Qubo. It works.
