Twelve Forever

Just started watching, so far the animation style is similar to several Cartoon Networks prominent shows, think of Steven Universe, Clarence, and to a lesser extent Adventure Time. Voice acting is crisp and also well done.

Content is meant for younger audiences (slightly given by the title of the show). If I am able to update this review, I'll give a more in depth review on the plot content.

All in all, this cartoon looks promising.

In 2015, Cartoon Network released a pilot called "Twelve Forever", features the main protagonist, Reggie who is not a huge fan of growing up, she goes on her adventures involving her own imagination with her friends. Cartoon Network made a pretty bad mistake for rejecting such a good masterpiece, but thankfully Netflix, the home of entertainment and animation made it into a full series and hopefully they don't cancel it like they did it to Tuca and Bertie...bunch of jerks, cancelled one of the greatest cartoons on Netflix. I watched Twelve Forever and it was pretty good, I didn't like the characters who picked on Reggie for being a bit immature, and the Butt Witch is also a pretty good antagonist. Twelve Forever may look like a Cartoon Network show from nowadays, but it pretty fun to watch. I give this one an 8.5/10

Twelve Forever is an amazing show that expresses the all too familiar fear of growing up and becoming an adult. While the animation style is very reminiscent of shows like Steven Universe and Adventure Time, which would make most believe that it's a show directed mostly for young children, it is incredibly mature in expressing the fears and rational irrationality of the pre-teen years through the protagonist Reggie Abbott and her misadventures with her friends. This show also has amazing racial and LGBTQ+ diversity without feeling too in-your-face and "oh look at me I'm LBGTQ+ and all I am is LGBTQ+". The main characters have great 3D personalities and development throughout the first season, and the Witch is an awesome antagonist! Anyone who has not seen this show, or has seen it recommended to them on Netflix, please give it a try! I did, and I loved it, and I feel that a lot of teenagers as well as pre-teens can relate to the plot and its characters.

This show is really underrated and overlooked! It's funny, with very bright, colorful animation. The best thing about this show, however, is the subject matter. This show tackles serious (and sometimes relatable) issues in a mature way. I've rarely ever seen this in a kids cartoon, and it really makes this show stand out.

This show is really really good! It deals with serious topics not usually found in cartoons. The animation and world are bright and fun. I really liked this show. It's a shame barely anyone has seen it.
