DC Nation-Week 6

After a less than impressive kick-off, DC Nation is carrying two strong series. The shorts, however, are hit or miss, but overall it is an hour of pure superhero TV.

Avatar: The Legend of Korra

Nickelodeon’s Avatar adventures continues with The Legend of Korra, which is setup to be more than a worthy sequel.

Doc McStuffins

Doc McStuffins plays doctor with her stuffed animal friends while teaching health and wellness along with basic science concepts to children without dumbing down the ideas.

DC Nation Block – Week 1

Cartoon Network’s new action block promises an hour of superhero adventure and humor with Young Justice, Green Lantern and new DC Shorts, which, though the first week was full of premiere reruns and filler, made the hour worth watching.

Bubble Guppies-Bubble Puppy’s Fin-tastic Fairy Tale

Bubble Guppies is about a school of mermaid toddlers, who live, learn, have adventures in a world too cutesy and unreal to even exist in your imagination.

Beauty and the Beast: Belle’s Magical World

Belle’s adventures with the Beast and the enchanted servants are filled with magic and moral life lessons, but they loose their heart-warming meaning if you’re over twelve.

Tom and Jerry: Fur Flying Adventures Vol. 3

Despite having some of the best Chuck Jones directed cartoons, Warner Brothers Home Video fails to impress with this random playlist of Tom and Jerry shorts.

Young Justice: Season 1, Volume 2

Young Justice is an exciting series for the pre-teen crowd, but its unoriginal plots do not live up to Warner Brothers Animation’s previous top quality shows.

Robotech: Complete Original Series

Robotech follows three generations of humans and their relationships as they defend Earth from hostile aliens bent on retrieving mysterious energy source protoculture. It not only has a significant role in anime history, but also for all US cartoons.

Tom And Jerry: Fur Flying Adventures Vol. 2

While the cartoons themselves are entertaining, Tom and Jerry: Fur Flying Adventures Vol.2 can’t break away from the mass-produced DVD stigma.

Thor: Tales of Asgard

Younger audiences hungry for more Thor after the big-screen movie will enjoy Marvel’s latest animated title, but long-time comics fans will be split between either being pleased or just plain bored!

Tom And Jerry: Fur Flying Adventures Vol.1

Advertised as over an hour of fun, this collection lacks the epic game of cat and mouse, giving screen time to side characters and a random assortment of toons from the Hanna-Barbera and Chuck Jones days.

Young Justice

Although it would benefit from giving its female characters more to do, this latest DC cartoon series has more depth than expected, with cliche-free teen heroes and a lot of potential.

Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode III

Star Wars returns to the Robot Chicken universe for a longer, fluidly stop-motion animated special that, although occasionally resorting to lazy crudities, is otherwise high on laughs.

Firebreather

Cartoon Network’s debut television movie mixes some formulaic aspects in with much teen angst, but the result is an interesting plot and an entertaining translation of the original comic books.
