I saw this on the extras of The Nightmare Before Christmas DVD, along with Tim Burton's other short film, Frankenweenie. I watched Frankenweenie first and thought it was just okay. Then I watched Vincent. And I found a new entry for my list of favourite films. It is just minutes long, and contains no dialogue, just a poem given in narration by Vincent Price, but it is total brilliance. It's an animated little tale about a pretty morbid seven-year-old boy who aspires to be Vincent Price. Vincent is a darkly comic masterpiece with that Gothic feel typical of Tim Burton. If you have a few spare minutes and have the means to watch this, then do. It's a wonderful work of art. I'd buy The Nightmare Before Christmas DVD just for this short.

Since this show started when I was about ten, I've watched it and always very much enjoyed it. Though it does seem to have gathered a lot of bad reviews. But I do believe that a lot of people find the concept a little creepy. It's about two friends, a cat named Cat, and a dog named Dog (how imaginative) who are joined together. A cat and a dog kind of joined in the middle, so God only knows how they use the toilet. Anyway, CatDog is a very enjoyable show and I only wish it would be shown on TV more. It only seems to be on VERY occasionally, for very short runs, after it was cancelled in 2001 or around there. But should it come on, it is worth watching. It's highly amusing, and frequently funny, and yes, very odd. But look at that as a good thing, and it's a great show. And the guys doing the voices, Jim Cummings (Cat) and Tom Kenny (Dog), work very well together, and are a great team. I do believe the two of them have worked together several times. Overall, CatDog is a strange, but entertaining show (with a one of the best theme tunes) and deserves to be seen, so enjoy!

I used to watch this show when I was little, as it was one of those shows in a line of kids shows that play on kids TV after school. So in amongst the likes of Thomas the Tank Engine, Nelly the Elephant, and Postman Pat, I used to watch this little show. And I always found it really scary. Absolutely terrifying. The weird puppet things are hideous and the whole show just has a very freaky feel to it. While I can look back at Nelly the Elephant, Thomas the Tank Engine and Postman Pat and think of them warmly, The Riddlers just sends shivers down my spine when I think back of it.

Some kids may like this show, but sensitive kids, and most little kids around the ages of about three to six are sensitive, will find it pretty scary. Even know, it sometimes gets bought up in conversation, "Remember that freaky show we used to watch when we were little..." Overall, I'd say it's probably best to avoid this one. It'll give your kids nightmares.
