What a beautiful movie!
Stylish but barely mediocre overall
One of the worst movies I've ever seen
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreNormally PBS Kids comes up with terrible baby shows like Barney, Fetch With Ruff-Ruffman, Ready, Jet, Go, and Splash and Bubbles, but Nature Cat is a different story. This is the greatest PBS Kids show ever that I had ever seen in my life. I'm only 21 years old, but I find this PBS Kids show to be a very enjoyable show along with The Magic School Bus. The animation is very admirable, the characters are funny and likable, the episodes are pure-fun, the humor is spot-on and it lives up to a type on being such a great show. This show even reminds me of the good old days when I was a young boy, and it feels like this show looks like it came from the 90's, and it's a pure feeling. And the voice- acting, need I say more? It's fantastic. It really lives up with their characters from that show, and they do such a great job with it. I hope it continues in the future, and I hope it gets a theatrical movie one of these days, because not only it's a great show, but it looks like it's very capable enough to have a theatrical movie. Nature Cat, and The Magic School Bus is one of those rare PBS Kids shows that are truly enjoyable, while the rest of them, sucks rotten eggs.
View MoreWhile there are a few good episodes, they are spread far and few. Basically, this is a bad show. Hal always goes "Wink Wink," and "Wink Wink" is also part of a Monty Python joke that's kind of inappropriate. It would be better if he did one wink and didn't say wink. Also, is waving your arms when saying "It floooooows!" really necessary? And of Nature Cat was really into nature, he would know that bees sting, mosquitoes bite, and that poison ivy gave you a rash. Also, I think Daisy carrying her phone around is making them hypocrites. If they really want to send a message, make her put her phone away. Or just have her using it for pictures and videos! And I never thought Nature Cat would like wearing a hula skirt. That's just wrong on so many levels. It would've been different it he did it as a joke or on a dare. They also did a bad job on the moon episode. Wolves and dogs howling at the moon is a myth! They howl to communicate with each other. And seriously, a moon dance? A rain dance, sure, but a moon dance? If you really want to learn about moon phases, then watch Ready Jet Go. And again, Nature Cat and Hal should know that you should get inside right away when a thunderstorm's coming. Forget the book and forget about wiping your feet!
View MoreListen. I watch a lot of shows with my 2 almost 3 year old. Most of them make me want to jump out a window (Daniel Tiger and his sensitivity; Curios George and his chaos and his incompetent care taker The Man in the Yellow Hat). But I knew I was in for something better when I heard the familiar voice of Chris Parnell (in my head he will always be Dr. Spaceman) and then Bobby Moynihan. Discovering the other voices was a treat. My toddler runs around outside picking up sticks and rocks using announcer voice to say, "sticks! by nature!" "rocks! by nature!" I giggle at parts of the show and I appreciate that it is educational as well. So glad it exists and eager for more episodes to come!
View MoreNature Cat is silly with simple, educational topics/lessons for children (i.e. discovering different ways to help the environment and learning the difference between stalagmites and stalactites). My daughter enjoys it along with shows like Curious George and Meg+Cat. And just like no show is perfect, Nature Cat has it's quirky humor that might not suit everyone's style. However, I rather Nature Cat's humor over Curious George's consistency with the insulting comment, "You're pretty smart for a city kid." I cringe each time Bill says that to George, and it happens more often than not. That being said, Nature Cat is a show I feel safe showing my daughter and I enjoy seeing her use what she learned from the show. Good job PBS.
