Expected more

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

In case you're wondering, the title of my review comes from the awesome theme song of an equally awesome show. When I was young, PB&J was my favourite show. Although I also liked Little Bear, Sagwa, Wishbone, Bear In The Big Blue House, Maisy, Out Of The Box, Rugrats, DuckTales, Courage The Cowardly Dog, and Gullah Gullah Island to name but a few, I literally had to catch PB&J every day and would sometimes eat my breakfast while watching. I would also dance to the songs in each episode, especially the noodle dance and the theme song. I ended up memorizing the noodle dance, which is very fun to do and listen to. The theme song is very fun and memorable, for me ranking right up there with the Out Of The Box theme song and Moo Mesa theme song as far as being danceable. For some reason I have always enjoyed the different colours, finding them to stimulating. Jelly (big sister) is magenta with purple hair, Peanut (brother) is red, and Butter (baby sister) is beige. The trio also have friends such as Pinch (blue raccoon), Munchy (brown beaver), Flick (white duck), Scootch (grey raccoon), Ootsie (purple poodle), and Bootsie (pink poodle). I also remember how I wanted a slide in my room because of PB&J (PS: I still do).

I have been watching this show with my daughter for over a year now, and it's delightful. Granted, it is FOR KIDS, but I find myself enjoying the episodes as well. PB&J are good role models, who use their good judgement and proper upbringing to solve problems. They are courteous, kind, and come from a loving household where their parents have rules, yet respect them and their judgement. I like the message this show sends to my daughter, especially about "using your noodle" to figure things out. The characters are endearing, the music is fun, and all the episodes have meaning, and teach valuable lessons--something you don't always find in cartoons anymore. I enjoy this show, along with most of the others done by the creator, Jim Jinkins--he puts out quality shows for kids.

This is a great show for kids 4-6, but I'm a teenager and I love watching the show! The show is funny, you can learn from it, and the characters are really cute and well created! PB & J Otter is done by the same people who created Disney's Doug, which is another great show!
