Funny

That's right it is funny. The show has the shades of Cinderella (on the other hand MURIEL'S WEDDING has the shades of the Ugly Duckling). The animation is going on the tradition of shows as DEXTER'S LABRATORY, or JOHNNY BRAVO, or POWERPUFF GIRLS minus the anime-ish references. Brilliant voice talent I may say (even for the wacky cartoon craze). I read other comments on IMDB and one of them says that there are a lot of spoofs, and Vikki and Francis the school bully are the villains. With this Nicktoon, it reminds me of those wacky cartoons I watch on Cartoon Network. I lauged so hard at one scene in the episode "Fairy Fairy Quite Contrary", because they referenced on the video game, Donkey Kong.With cartoons like this when, this will make Disney turn in his grave. But still, it's great fun along with CHALK ZONE. Trixie looks kinda pretty, as for her blonde friend who wants to be her so badly (i.e. get popular), sounds like Dee-Dee or a chimpanzee when she shrieks, "I WANT TO BE TRIXIE!!!" Speaking of Dee-Dee, Vikki resembles her a bit, don't you think, by the arms and legs, and head (but she's a red-head and has a pony-tail), only teenaged. As for Timmy, his body looks a bit like Dexter. Bottom line, if you enjoy Cartoon Network shows and missed them, but live in a place with little cable, this show will make you feel at home, or so help me, watch THE POWERPUFF GIRLS on Kids W.B.
