Bratz

I had to watch 'Bratz' for a pop culture class and was completely appalled by it. It shows young girls that it is okay to be superficial, slutty, vain, and stupid. Any parent who would purchase this for young girls disgusts me. Not only is it completely devoid of any positive role models, it is also not in the least entertaining. It was physically painful to watch all of the random, awkward statements from horribly under-developed characters. The situations are unoriginal and uninspired (i.e. 'everything goes wrong for prom night, but it all turns out okay in the end'). This show should be avoided by adults and children alike.

That means riddled with caricatures, clichés and stereotypes. It is NOT a reflection on reality. I can't believe some of the reviews I'm reading. This is a bad influence on young girls? Does Tom and Jerry encourage children to chase mice and whack them with a mallet? Stop being so silly! I'll admit I didn't like the concept of this when it first came out, what can possibly be entertaining watching 4 spoiled rich American girls moan and use snobbish expressions, but now it is 2015 I can look back and laugh. Kids used to dress in really revealing clothing in the 2000s and adults all over were whining about it when they were doing anything wrong.

And I disagree that they are brainless bimbos as other reviewers have said because on the show I watched today titled "Bratz Slumber Party" one of the girls was concerned about her chemistry exam. I think this means the show is actually a positive influence on children, showing them girls who juggle schoolwork, boys and everything else without ditching one for the other.

I used to watch this show every Saturday morning before ABC played One Saturday Morning (Bratz aired at like 6 am, and One Saturday Morning started around 8). It was seriously my favorite cartoon for years. When I bought the Rock Angelz GameCube game, it brought me right back. I wish I could find this show and watch it all over again!

These big headed girls, make me feel better about my big face. i was bullied throughout my schooling about it and this breathtakingly beautiful piece of work saved me life. brought me back up again when i was falling through snow whites well in a dream i had last night. i love how their feet can come off and i was like yeet. and the animation is just as amazing as foodfight 2012. its my mums favourite film but this show NEVER lets me down. i feel impowered by these young dolls and aspire to be them. this is the really juice out there.

as seen on diney +

thank you for listening.xx

It was a missed opportunity not to make this show in 2D like the 2004 movie "Starrin' & Stylin'." The 2D art was so good! Just keep Yasmin's and Sasha's original skin tones...ya know, unlike the awful whitewashed versions in that movie.

Why? Because this animation is just...yikes. I even felt the show's animation was terrible when I first saw it in the 2000s! That was among the reasons I stopped watching. It's simply too much hair physics! Too much time was spent on the hair and not enough on the faces by the animators. Additionally, a background character and its clone would appear in the same scene, lol.

However, their movies and specials were far funnier and better. Again I believe that this show should have been in 2D, but their movies and specials should have stayed in 3D! It would've been a nice treat seeing our gals in 3D every now and then.

One of the other reasons why I didn't like the show was the whole magazine thing with Burdine. I saw that as an obstacle and find it boring. I was a big Bratz fan when I was younger, but I can't recall the entire magazine situation! Was there something on their website? If it was, was it the inspiration for the show ?! Because that would make total sense, sure I was a huge fan but I was on the Barbie website every day instead of Bratz! Haha!

Usually when it comes to shows (live action or animated) that depict a group of girls, each girl has a distinct personality trait or, to others, a "stereotypical" trope. Like the smart one, the girly one, the sporty one, and the artsy one. I started watching some episodes recently and none of the Bratz truly have a personality trait. The only thing that sets them apart is the nicknames they kept using to refer to one another (which is cringe). On the plus side, though, the Bratz are likeable and driven! And their fashion is great!

~* So now that Bratz is making their comeback, I hope we get a new show! I think it's finally time! If you go to their Instagram account, they'll post clips occasionally (the "Mean Girls" one was hilarious!) with updated animation. And the animation is soooo much better. Yes, I know technology has improved (but still it is so therapeutic after watching this show). And I hope that the new series is more mature as well. They need to rebrand for the older crowd. *kisses* ~
