It was a good read. I have been saying how I can't stand how kids are served at Disney and Nick. Every show has someone kissing someone or some other story-line that is good for teenagers but for kids 6-12 year-olds they just see it as "Not Kiddy." Parents are side notes and they are either dead or your on an awesome Cruise Ship School without your parent. Also everyone is always happy happy or they are sad because they are disappointed. If it is sad and disappointed the plot line is 100% they get what they wanted and now are happy no matter if it was due to bad choices by the main character. I don't let my kids watch much TV and I just watch YouTube Science videos with them at night (Why is Science and Social Studies the enemy of Math and English and must be only studied every other year or not at all for K-7 grades?) Books usually have better story lines, but I don't have the time to read to them more than about 10-15 minutes :(

  There's one for Big Hero 6 too. Don't care much for the animation style; if they're gonna go 2D I'd rather they used something that looked smooth and dynamic, like Kim Possible. But plot-wise it keeps up much of the vibe of the film.

Disney produced animated TV shows aimed for kids are the worst. The pattern is really set: 1. There is a problem. 2. The problem is fixed with either "pixie dust" or a "Mouse ka Tool". Both fix problems magically and immediately. They require no work, sacrifice, or even waiting from the characters Pixar's rule of "Coincidences to get characters into trouble are great; coincidences to get them out of it are cheating" applies here Hopefully with Lasseter at the helm things will change drastically not just for Disney movies, but for Disney TV shows as well.

    It is to a degree. It's also for a different audience and purpose. I should have been more specific. I was referring to Disney shows targeted towards really young children as educational like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or Jake and the Neverland Pirates
