Angela Anaconda

This show stinks. The animation is terrible. Most of the voices are very annoying. The writing is god awful. It is repetitive to no end. I like some of the shows on Fox Family. They can be funny and clever, but this show fails on both counts. As I have said before, a lot of the animated shows (mainly from Disney) these days are terrible. That basically explains this show. This show is far from a refreshing change.

This is what should be on the cartoon network and all other shows in this country, but thanks to Disney, it was canceled. This show is awesome, its weird and funny and off-key - which makes it fresh and interesting. There is one DVD out for about ten bucks on sites like amazon - very much worth buying in order to see this show, if you are an animation fan like me. There needs to be more shows with bite and sarcasm and social commentary in them like this show. Its hard to describe Angela Anaconda exactly, but the animation is surreal and she is like Bart Simpson in a lot of ways, and if you liked Bart you'll like Angela.

Angela Anaconda is another cartoon about the normal kid with unique, bizarre friends. She hangs out with the nerd, the athlete and the fattest girl in school. However, most, if not all, episodes focus more on her rivalry with Nanette Manoir. And sometime during each episode, Angela has fantasies concerning her ideal solution to her problems. Often, those sadistic fantasies focus on her sadistic punishment of Nanette. If Angela was able to successfully act out those fantasies, her brutality would easily kill her arch-rival within the opening stages of her plans. I do realize that this is a cartoon and is not meant to be taken very seriously, but Angela's fantasies are simply too annoyingly vengeful for me to enjoy the show.

It's a typical school story series, but, what sets it apart is its bizarrely humorous scripts and, especially, its visuals. Borrowing heavily from the Terry Gilliam animation style, no one moves in 3 dimensions! It's like a world inhabited by humanoid crabs. Photos digitally (I'm guessing.) manipulated make up the cast. So, it's entirely possible that everyone we see is the actual voice being used. Regardless, this blend of the real with the sublime sets the style of the series, and that visual execution is what is most superb about it.

In short, in today's dreg of children's series, Angela is welcomingly refreshing. Adults will probably like it more. (I'm 26.)

I cannot stand this show! The storylines are ok and the names are cute but that Angela's voice is nerve racking! I hope that poor person doesn't really talk like that in real life. I would rather watch an opera and I hate opera! It isn't one of the better shows that are out there.
