Harvey Girls Forever!

This series is the example of how to bring an old property to a new audience without forgetting what made the source material great in the first time, unlike other attempts to reboot the Harvey properties like Casper's scare school, Harvey street kids makes a good work at modernizing the classic characters and balancing new ideas and characters with the classic property. The three protagonists were redeigned and rewritten but still remind the character they used to be and we used to love, the animations is nice and colorful and the character designs keep some elements from the comics' talking about that there are some references to Harvey comics that only old fans will understand. The new characters are funny, the stories are simple but entertaining, I would recomend the show to both, fans of the Classic Harvey comic books and people that like modern cartoons like The Loud House.

A simple concept done right? Yup, that's Harvey Street Kids Listen to this premise, three kids try improve the lives of the other children who live near them, doesn't this sound like a premise that could mess up easily? Here's the thing though, Harvey Street Kids is incredibly clever with how it treats its concept. It's a show that is built on having a bunch of alpha kids to one another and it's all played out for comedy due to how wacky and unrealistic the pain is. It knows which characters should receive their comeuppance when they do something wrong and at no point does their comeuppance seem painful at all. The animation here is amazing. It's the Dreamworks' classic media show that's completely 2D, and it looks gorgeous here! I love the faithful to the source, it's a very stylistic choice that I know must've taken so many frames to make! The characters here are actually pretty likable with some character development throughout the series. My favorite character is Audrey, her can do perkiness are things that I can quote and people will get! I'd love to go into much detail as possible on this show, but I simply cannot. There are so many things that're brilliant about it. I highly recommend this cartoon, it's among my top 10 cartoons of the 2010s.

Harvey Street Kids, or Harvey Girls Forever!, or whatever Netflix and DreamWorks wants to call it isn't a bad show, its pretty much the best thing done with Harvey Comics characters in quite a long time actually(Not really the most glowing of endorsements sure but yes it is), however it never really becomes anything more than 'what you see, what you get' with pretty predictable jokes you can see coming from a mile away. The modernizations of classic characters like Audrey, Dot, and Lotta are fine but lack the charm of their original counterparts.

The show has its merits, but it often comes across as basically a more consumer friendly version of Cartoon Network's 'Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy' but without the over-the-top animation and creativity; the animation is pretty basic and flat, the jokes are pretty safe and pretty forgettable for the most part. This series could be great and liked as much as your My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic if DreamWorks and Netflix make the following adjustments to the production,

• Let go of some people, i.e. Brendan Hay; one look at his social media illustrates that he is simply not the best choice to be involved in such a program based on his history of unprofessional remarks and strongly divisive political and religious views. Look to bring in people like Sherri Stoner, DeAnna Oliver, Paul Rugg, Randy Rogel, and Tom Ruegger from Animaniacs, Freakazoid!, and Tiny Toon: Adventures on the writing staff. Stoner and Oliver did great with Casper, indeed the animated spin-off of the 1995 feature film that they co-wrote has held up very well and is still funny to this day.

• Bring in more experienced animation directors like a Dan Riba and increase the budget by a little to bring in a more dynamic animation quality.

• Expand upon the world more, don't keep the characters stuck in a single town and bring in more characters from Harvey Comics lore.

• Be less predictable with the humor and move at a quicker pace story wise.

• Be more timeless than 'in the present', cut down on the pop culture references just a bit and settle down on the modern tech usage.

There you go, you're welcome.

The show lacks any sort of original ideas or concepts. The plots move without pacing and the whole show feels like a bore. Check out Clarence or The Loud House instead.

There's not much to say here. Its just a really good show. It has a great, zany energy and charming characters. I recommend it.
