Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids

An iconic CITV programme from the golden era. The series are very fun to watch. However, I only watch the CITV series not the other series that was on Nicktoons because Nick ruined it and Carlton Television did it so well. Totally recommend if you are a 2000s kid like me. This was one of CITV's greatest programmes that isn't available on ITVX. However, you can watch the series on YouTube for free. The animation is good for me first few series but got really Flashy by the time the next two series aired. Nigel Planer is also amazing at both narrating the stories as well as voicing every character & his laugh is hilarious!

It went from a well designed and perfectly eery kids show to a youtube flash animation. It may have done alright with the newer audiences, but the original 3 seasons were the best kids TV show out at the time. Even 4-6 were really good after they removed the little animations, and this show was so entertaining as a kid. It's ironic all the low reviews are from parents who's kids had nightmares because of it, but they shouldn't be letting their kids watch it. It stood out on Kids TV as most of the shows were kinda cutesy or didn't really have much of a message, whereas this was not scared to dive into the creepier realms of TV

TLDR: Good at the start, alright/meh near the end Don't let really young kids watch this lmao.

A great show showing the consequences of being a "gruesome child" a show which told a message in every episode Aswell as a spooky and exciting story to go with it.

This show was so different to everything else on tv at the time, it was very different to the rest of the cartoons. Me being a lover of all things horror now in my adult life it was one of first things I must of watched of this nature albeit a small element of it.

I still think back to this cartoon every now and then, and Im now 27! It was such a good show with well thought out gruesome tales. I looked forward to this every day, couldn't see this airing now a days though, too many snowflakes! Haha.

My partner and I recently remembered this show and how much we enjoyed it as kids. While we sat there pulling the limbs off still twitching rats we started reminiscing about how great it was. Ignore that reviews that says it's innaprooriate or turns kids into creeps as we turned out just fine.

Grizzly tales for gruesome kids is the perfect entertainment for children who enjoy fright and comedy. I watched this myself as a child and loved it, the animation was simple and Nigel Planer was brilliant as the narrator and voices of the characters. Not only was it entertaining each episode also contained a message that wasn't too preachy, it also had some adult humour as a little nod to the parents. Each episode is about 8-10 minutes long which means it doesn't get boring. I'm not a fan of the " Grizzly Tales" which is the same but the animation is different and the beginning is different and without the beloved spider Spindleshank but maybe I'm too set in my ways to accept the reboot. If you're looking for an entertaining few minutes I highly recommend Grizzly tales for gruesome kids, I can't really find any flaws and it holds many dear memories for me. 10/10
