This show has to be the weakest most limp-wristed show you could ever let your kids watch! My kids watched it when they were younger, and now that they're adults now, they look back and think how stupid it was, and it didn't do jack to influence them about the environment.
This show is a waste of time. Kids watch it, and as all cartoons are, they make the kids want the toys, yet afterward still couldn't care less about the message.
Here's some of the proof on the uselessness of the show. If either of my kids had a choice of dropping a wrapper on the ground, or dropping it in a recycle bin, you can be assured the wrapper would be on the ground. They believe in keeping the local "prison workhouse" program busy with litter pick up. The only energy they think about conserving is their own!
The characters in the show are weak and really stupid! The only goal of this show is to fool parents into thinking that by having their kids watch the show and buy the merchandise that their kids might learn something. When I asked my adult kids what they remember about the show, and what they learned, all they could say is that they remember that the show was really stupid! Oh, and that you should be sure the EPA or the neighbors aren't watching when you dump used motor oil down the sewer.
I have a solution for the overflowing landfills,, it's called "even waste distribution" Instead of dumping trash in one location, everyone should drive around with their bags of trash and randomly throw it out their car windows piece by piece. This would evenly distribute the trash, thus ending the problem of overfilled landfill sites!
As for the show, the animation has absolutely NO artistic value,, it has the "slapped together for quick profit" look, and the plots are ill planned and VERY weak!
Kids want an all powerful super hero,, not some pansy who wusses out the minute you blow a hit of smoke in his wimpy face.
If you want to teach your kids about the environment, sit down and talk to them,, or even better yet,, show them by example. But if you're hoping the "one-eyed babysitter" will teach your kids anything past the teen years, you're hitting a dead end with this lame show!
