A hilarious and adorable sequel to the OG
The Fairly Oddparents: A New Wish is an animated series that is a sequel to the original The Fairly Oddparents (2001-2017). A New Wish has cute character designs, energetic animation, a coherent story, and characters that you can't help but root for.
The story is very simple and similar to the original. A little girl gets fairy godparents after she struggles to fit in into her new life. However, there is a sense of continuity in the story here compared to the original. While the original focuses more on slapstick gags and one liners rather than story progression, A New Wish does it in a way that is related to the story of the episode.
The animation is incredibly smooth and surprisingly translates well into this 2.5 D style. It is also very vibrant and engaging, making the backgrounds and character movements very appealing to look at. The animation is very similar to the 2015 film The Peanuts Movie, and despite A New Wish having a lower budget, the animation is very well done and respects the design of the original show.
The characters are very charming and likable. In fact, Cosmo and Wanda are no longer a miserable couple and are now shown to love each other again. They are very giggly, and when they do make fun of each other, they don't come off as mean spirited but rather silly. They are also seen to care for each other and both love their grown son, Peri, very much. The show also emphasizes on showing the actions of the characters rather than telling. For instance, Cosmo and Wanda are seen to be hugging a lot. The main character, Hazel, is very funny and smart, and has a good amount of character flaws that make the viewer empathize with her more. Hazel's parents are very supportive, albeit distant, to their daughter. They also have a great relationship with her, which wasn't shown in the original as Timmy's parents were negligent. It was nice to see loving parents (not fairies) in a Fairly Oddparents show. Finally, the main antagonist, Dev Dimmadome, is a very well flushed out character who you can't help but feel bad for. He also has a solid character arc and is not only defined as a rich spoiled kid.
Overall, the show is extremely enjoyable and entertaining, and can be watched by anyone. A New Wish is definitely the best show that Nickelodeon has produced in a decade and I highly recommend it not only to fans of the original, but to regular people as well. It's a cute, funny, and emotional show that you should definitely check out.
