Little Big Awesome

So I really love this show. It's perfect for the younger set. All of the episodes have a good moral to them and teach some great messages about kindness and trying your best. It's got the weirdness we all love from the CN shows, but without some of the more grown up punchlines. And to those who are saying this show takes heavily from A.T. , shows like that borrowed heavily from the internet based cartoons of a time long passed. There is never anything truly original and some of these shows are actually intended for ...wait for it.....KIDS. I hope there are more seasons coming.

Hahaaaa this is awesome product for kids 0-5 and even for adult 30-40yo - I laugh so much and tell myself "wtf" :-)))

I've literally been praying for positive kids' programming that's relative and not boring.

It's like manna from heaven!

Please, more episodes! Pleaaasseeeeee!

Literally keeping my Prime membership solely for this show...

Please don't stop making episodes!

I'll tell all my friends about it.

I'll even knock door to door and share the gospel that is this show! Just give me some pamphlets or something.

Thank you, God-of-positive-kids'-programming-that-will-shape-the-perspectives-and-life-outlooks-of-our-future-handlers-of-society-in-order-to-create-a-brighter-and-more-harmonious-future-for-all-of-humanity!

Amen.

A bold experiment in children's shows, LBA asks, "What if story arcs were largely replaced with grab bags of almost-funny bits that don't add up to any point at all?"

The show owes a large debt to Adventure Time, but doesn't keep the focused plots and sense of heart (or that made AT great.

"Shut your garbage mouth," a protagonist says to other protagonists in this show. Ugh. Not great for kids. And this show certainly doesn't work for adults like AT can.

I am thankifying the awesomeness that is (was? Dept. Heads/execs hop from network to network like fleas from rugs to rats) the head of K & F entertainment at Amazon for green-lighting the wonderosity that is LBA.

Adventure Time, The Amazing World of Gumball, as well as Cupcake and Dino immediately come to mind, if we must compare-without competing. With their sentient hats (sort of), enviable bonds, kid humour that's also palatable for adults yet gentle and inoffensive, fantasy worlds full of brilliant colours that dazzle and comfort as well as bring some much-needed joy, the varied media and mediums are executed so well, without the cut-and-paste randomness of Gumball-and no irritating dumb fat dad trope, either! The absence of the "Cal Arts style" is so totally refreshing-no bean smiles or hard outlines to be found, just the most happiness-inducing, creative and absolutely bonkers graphics. Such talent! I experienced a big loss, as did many others, with the end of AT-Gumbal's demise followed shortly thereafter-my anti-depressant that aired just when we all seemed to need it.

But then CN executives happened. I live in hope of a revival, as long as the original cast returns; no one could possibly replace Jeremy and John as Finn and Jake.

A lot of hard work and love went into this sadly short-lived series, and I'm guessing that budget constraints became an issue; Amazon is really struggling financially, you know, gotta keep the focus on more dystopia, "reality" TV, gore, violence, rich narcissists, demons, homogeneous filler-faces, sex, etc.

It's a sad state of affairs when one is forced to rewatch shows like this over and over, as new releases become rarer and rarer. Just a short search on Vimeo will result in dozens if not hundreds of incredibly talented artists showcasing their works in one of the many shorts painstakingly executed and posted with high hopes of recognition.

I mean, are Mr. Blipi (is that right? I try not to think about this abhorrence), Steve and Maggie (kids don't need more sugar, nor do they want an oddly manic and cringey adult man freaking out over really lame props layered over cheap green-screen. UGH), and Peppa Pig (ugly cheap and nasty)-pure money-grubbers every one-the best we can do for "family" programming? Bluey and Hilda are great, but the latter has ended, so that leaves the former.

MORE GLUKO & LENNON! Ten murples for originality and unabashed JOY in pinks and blues, roundy shapes, bubbles, KITTENS, puppets, blue skies, HO CHO... even Weird Al can stay!... LOVE YOU GUYS!
