Really Surprised!

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This is not coming from an adult who takes pleasure in judging animated shows harshly, who makes up unfounded excuses as to why certain stuff should not be seen, who is jaded and who judging it too much through adult eyes and not from a childhood stand-point.Far from the truth. Although a young adult, this negative review is actually coming from somebody who is a young adult but a child at heart and aims to be honest, encouraging and perceptive without being insulting or arrogant about how my opinions are expressed. Also as a huge fan of animation, and mostly actually am easily pleased when it comes to watching it on a regular basis. Oddly enough it takes a lot for me to be critical of animation, but it's far from been unheard of due to a lot of bad animations out there as well as a higher number of good and more ones.Another commentator has mentioned hating it as a child as well an adult. Have to concur with this, was halfway through primary school when 'Angela Anaconda' aired on Cartoon Network, often during summer holidays at odd times of the day, and disliked it intensely then from the start but kept watching to be fair on it and see if it get better. As said, there are a lot of shows that start off rocky but become much more settled and at their best they're really good or more. That never became the case with 'Angela Anaconda', it stayed consistently terrible and it is not hard to see why it was relatively short lived (despite high ratings and mixed critical reception at the time, now it's often considered one of the top 10 worst "scary" cartoons of all time) and has faded into relative obscurity. Decided to re-watch to see whether my view had changed (whether it was a case of not getting its style or something) or whether my memories of it being poorly animated, irritating, disturbing, negatively stereotypical and repetitive with terrible voice acting and an annoying theme song were the same.Unfortunately, my childhood perspective memories of 'Angela Anaconda' are exactly the same as an adult. Do appreciate more what the animation style was, having had over-time gained more knowledge of various styles and doing more research on them, and that the show was going for a mix of computer animation and photo-graphics (for the characters' faces mainly). Could have been an innovative technique, certainly sounded like it, sadly it was an innovative technique that was poorly done and looked ugly. No make that hideous, ugly feels more beautiful in comparison describing a show that just looks so drab in colour, stiff in movement and just so unappealing in every way, a visual eyesore if you will.The theme song is still annoying. It has a simplistic melody (too simplistic to be catchy, but it turns out memorable for all the wrong reasons), very poorly written and cheesy lyrics (that make one hate the titular character even before the story kicks in) and particularly the grating voice of the titular character that is enough to haunt nightmares of those not usually prone to them. The rest of the music is instantly forgettable and is more intrusively discordant with the action than fitting it let alone enhancing.'Angela Anaconda' still is a really badly written show. Nothing funny or smart here, nor intelligent or identifiable. It's just childish, unfunny and repetition-heavy. The stories are also predictable and repetitious, every story has been done to death and a billion times better. In that they were done in a funny and truthful way (never happened here), had more variation and weren't so reliant on stereotyping and when it did it was in a healthier way. The rivalry/hatred between Angela and Nannette is overplayed and so stereotypical, and made even worse by that Angela's fantasies go well overboard on the sadistic factor that it becomes distasteful.Not to mention the characters, who nearly single handedly sink 'Angela Anaconda'. Not one single entertaining, warm or likable character. Angela is high up in the list of the top 15 most irritating protagonists in animated television, not just her hideous animation and her truly messed up behaviour that nobody can relate to (due to that she never seems to be properly remorseful) but in particular her voice (shudder). Nannette is just the typical rich, bratty, teacher's-pet, snob with nothing to her. Arch rivalry/school antagonism has had far more dynamic and subtlety elsewhere.Characterisation-wise, 'Angela Anaconda' is a throwing-as-much-as-you-can-find-kitchen-sink's worth of stereotypes, portrayed with a complete lack of subtlety and making the characters both dull and unbearable annoying. The voice acting makes the ears bleed, television animation voice acting at its very worst. Angela and Mrs Brinks are the worst, have already mentioned what is so wrong with Angela's. Regarding Mrs Brinks, Mrs Brinks was voiced by a man and one can tell, have absolutely no bias against men voicing women (it actually has been done surprisingly well) but this voice just sounded so unnatural and not feminine in the slightest, more like a phoney-sounding drag queen.In summary, don't accept 'Angela Anaconda's' less than warm welcome introduction indicated in the theme song. Children and adults alike are best avoiding it to keep hold of their sanity rather than take leave of it. Just my very respectful thoughts though. 1/10 Bethany Cox

"My name is Angela, hey hello, welcome to my very own show. I'll introduce my friends to you. Oh no it's Ninny Pooh. Shooby shooby, doo, wha, wha! My name is Angela and you are not Nannette Manoire. You stuck up, snot faced, snot. Welcome to my show, starring me and not starring Nannette Manoire."This show was one of my guilty little pleasures but I can't say much about the content of this show since it's really a children's show. I think it's okay for children and some adults if they can stomach Angela's voice. I also have to say that if your kids like this show then fine and if they don't then that's okay too. It has your typical grade school stuff in it, kids trying to see just exactly where they fit in. Nannette Manoire is your typical, thinks she's better than everyone else, rich, spoiled little brat with her small circle of friends. Angela Anaconda's family is a little less fortunate than Nannette Manoire's family but they have each other.

The voices are annoying. All the characters are REALLY annoying. The animation, a wannabe-Terry Gilliam style, really sucks. The jokes can make you chuckle but the rehashes wear off quickly. It also meanly stereotypes. Catholics, Germans, Italians and smart people are all mocked. The plots are always ridiculous. The voices are VERY annoying. The characters REALLY make we want to cringe. The music is really dumb, and the way Angela giggles and acts cocky really REALLY tills me off. The way everything always works out just makes me want to burst a stress bag. If kids ever meet Catholics, foreigners or "nerds" they may not befriend them because of this load of crap. As Angela herself might have said, "I will not watch this sucky show on account of it sucks".

I cannot stand this show! The storylines are ok and the names are cute but that Angela's voice is nerve racking! I hope that poor person doesn't really talk like that in real life. I would rather watch an opera and I hate opera! It isn't one of the better shows that are out there.
