Fantastic!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I always enjoyed watching The Little Lulu Show when it was on HBO, sure the jokes are corny but it was still all in good fun! the whole series were really based on John Stanly's comics of the 1950s, but this show is really supposed to take place in the 90s but all the characters still were their old fashion clothes, go figure? anyway, you had Lulu Moppet during a comedy stand up routine in each episode, you know just like what Jerry Seinfeld did on his TV show, some of the kids you could basely explore their personality's.For example, you had Tubby the fat kid and leader of the boys clubhouse, Wilbur the rich and snobby one, Gloria the one girl who thinks she's the prettiest girl in the whole neighborhood, Alvin the little bratty kid, Annie who's not to bright and so on.But personally I still thought this was a great children's show! and I sometimes wish it should get rebooted some day.

Yesterday, my mother brought me a DVD featuring Little Lulu cartoons on it. So, my first reaction to it was maybe they are they old ones, when I read the back of the DVD it said it featured the voice of Tracy Ullman as Little Lulu and I thought to myself , it was probably a marketing technique to get people to buy the DVD (after all, it was a generic DVD company known as Genius Entertainment selling the product and it was only $1.00). So my cousin and I were all excited about the DVD, come to find out it was the old Little Lulu cartoons that were badly edited and unrestored to their original versions. I sadly disappointed and I realized that I liked the mid-ninties cartoons better. Lulu had more personality in the latter versions and the characters were more developed and likable. So until the original cartoons are restored to their original glory, I'm sticking to the mid-ninties version of "Little Lulu" even though the plots are pretty much from the 1930's-1960's.

These cartoons (many of them, at least) are animated versions of the Little Lulu comic books from the 1940's and 50's. They used the stories unchanged, except for minor adaptations in the wording. John Stanley, who's been dead for years already, wrote the stories. They didn't have to credit him, because he did it as an employee of the comic book publisher and was never credited in the first place. But I wish it were better known that these are 50-to-60-year-old stories, because that makes it even more remarkable how good they are. The "kids are smart" theme, and especially the "girls are smart" theme, were already popular ideas back then, but weren't found in the media, except in those and a few other early ground-breaking comic book series. The Beauty Contest, the Snowball War, the Business Girl (lemonade story), and the Picnic Pirates--these were among the many examples of Stanley's genius to be found on this show.

This isn't a bad show. I watch it on Family Channel at Lunchtime because there is nothing else on then. (I'm a teenager you see, I still watch kid shows). But this one isn't bad. It's about a lil' girl named LULU and her friends: Annie, Tubby, Iggy and some others. They get into adventures which are non-offensive for kids, but not too sissy and flowery for a kids show. In some episodes they have little Boys vs. Girls "Wars" (best lemonade stand, Snowball fights, Picnic Ambush), But some young boys might be offended because the Girls always win. But One thing: i'm not sure what time this is supposed to be set in, because they have modern technology and shows and stuff, but they are dressed like kids in the 30's style clothes. (Eg. Some of the boys have the caps with the rolled up pants with the long socks) and they have the "West Side Boys" and they call the group "The Fella's". I'm not sure what to think. I think they could have made the time zone more clear: The 30's or the present day? Oh..And um...Good show too. Rating: 7/10
