ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

smetin I used to love watching mind-numbing cartoons when I was a kid. Now, at the ripe old age of 25 I thought I had grown up a bit...apparently not. Studying medicine is draining and I needed something in the evening to relax to, so I decided to re-watch a number of cartoons from my youth. I found all the episodes for Ozzy and Drix and was so full of nostalgia that I could not resist myself.Ozzy and Drix takes place in the city of Hector, a teenage human being who literally sets the stage for this show. Ozzy (aka Osmosis Jones) is a white blood cell with an attitude like Will Smith in Bad Boys, whilst Drix (aka Drixenol) is a multi-faceted pill who is also somewhat nerdy. This pair are part of a policing unit in the city of Hector, who are committed to fight invading pathogens. Both have their individual charm and comedic value, which makes their pairing a great one. Despite wanting to watch this show for its ability to let me go on autopilot at the end of a long day, quite the opposite occurred. The episodes themselves are are incredibly clever as they use medical language (in a very basic sense) to form the basis of each storyline. For example, representing the spleen as a literal vacuum destroyer of pathogens was a stroke of genius to enable children to understand its function. Other clever aspects would have flew over my head as a kid, but they do make me chuckle now that I am studying medicine. Having a dog allergen being called 'dander' being one such case.In a world full of cartoons that rely on stupidity to be 'funny', Ozzy and Drix do not and I really respect that. Aside from comedy, some episodes have a truly strong message. "Where's the smoke" is a prime example of this, whereby the basic concept of smoking and its consequences is explained brilliantly. It is these qualities that sets this show apart from most cartoons. However, by the same token, it may have been its downfall. It was too clever for its own good and kids quite simply did not get it. In a sea of cartoons where comedy that relies on stupidity, current trends and violence reign supreme, Ozzy and Drix could not complete. All in all, Ozzy and Drix was a great show (let alone a cartoon). It's a shame it did not continue , because I truly believe this cartoon would have entertained children as well as benefited their minds.

TheLittleSongbird I am aware that the movie Osmosis Jones does have a fairly bad rap, but when I saw it I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. This spin-off show Ozzy and Drix actually surpasses it I think. The concept is still fresh, clever and original, and I really liked how smart and entertaining it was. Yes, some of the humour is crude and there are one or predictable moments at times. However, the animation does have its uniqueness with nice backgrounds and the characters look interesting, and the music is good, even the theme song was tolerable and admittedly I don't like that style of music. The characters are likable and unique, Drix is my favourite, he's funny and cute if somewhat silly on occasions. I also like Ozzy because he is cool and smart, and the supporting characters are quirky too. The voice acting is also top notch. Overall, clever, original and smart spin-off show that in my opinion is better than the film. 9/10 Bethany Cox

ShindigAscension In the beginning, there was Freakazoid on the WB Saturday Moring lineup. Then it got cancelled. Then there was Animaniacs. Then it got cancelled. Then there was Pinky and the Brain. And it got cancelled. Then came the last gasp of intelligent TV for WB kids, and it was called 'Ozzie and Drix'.Like Freakazoid, Animaniacs, and Pinky and the Brain before it, it was a funny and witty show that didn't strike a chord with America's idiot children. It was stocked with educational and funny moments too smart for kids. Just one example: They're on the highway on a car chase, and one of the billboards says 'Peace in the middle ear'.It was a solid show, taught the kids to stay away from drugs,a nd gave a solid hoot without going out of its way. I'd kill to have this show back.

Pvt_Minsk I have unfortunately never seen "Osmosis Jones", the movie which this series is based on, but I hear that this movie got a bad rap. If this is true, then Ozzy and Drix certainly redeems it's predecessor.The plot involves the workings of the body of a teen named Hector. The "city" of Hector is depicted as a metropolitan city with all the cells and other fancy bits and bobs of the body working the boy that is Hector. Like any body, Hector is beset by diseases and symptoms. The show's main characters are the white blood cell, Osmosis "Ozzy" Jones, and his companion, the cold pill Drix. Just like a real cold pill, Drix is armed with a 120 nm (nanometer) smooth bore cannon for an arm ;) . These two heroes work a private eye gig of sorts, facing all the syndromes that Hector gets (and Hector seems to have "getting sick" as a part-time job).As you've probably deduced by now, Ozzy & Drix is an educational cartoon. Those cartoons have always done VERY well in the past (I'm being sarcastic here, if you haven't witnessed the horror that is a educational cartoon before). Indeed, the first time you see Ozzy & Drix, you'd think it's an incredibly embarrassing series. But the cleverness of Ozzy & Drix is that while you learn about the human body and what can happen to it on the way, this educational stuff is not so at the forefront that you couldn't enjoy the cartoon as a hilarious and humorous parody of cop shows. For Ozzy and Drix excellently parodies the typical cop buddy movies and shows, Miami Vice coming off the top of my head. The city of Hector is like a city out of Grand Theft Auto, except without all the naughty content. All the cop show stereotypes, like the copper with street smarts, the bumbling mayor who needs serious help to keep his face good in the public, and the trench-coated informant in a shady alley are all included. The viruses and other germs are all typical "gangtas" and other criminals, with a few exceptions, shining out the most General Malaise and his (literal) army of bacteria with fake French accents.All the while this is going on, it's all tied into typical ailments of the human body, which, as I mentioned, are not totally budging in front of the plot. Sure, the show teaches that ingestion of lots of sugar causes a rush of energy followed by tiredness, but it is depicted as a city-wide catastrophe of all cells growing lethargic and not doing their jobs, leaving the aforementioned French Napoleon-wannabe and his army to prepare for a body-wide assault. How do Ozzy & Drix thwart THIS menacing threat?! (that is a favorite episode of mine, by the way)So seriously, if you thought of Ozzy & Drix to be another tiresome educational cartoon (the only good cartoon of this genre before was the infamous "Duck and Cover!" cartoon, teaching you that hiding under a table will save you from a close-range nuclear blast, and this was only funny because of it's unintentional absurdity), you are totally mistaken. While the life lessons are an integral part of the series, it is as much, if not more, a clever parody of the cop buddy genre, and other modern quirks. Watch at least a few episodes before your final verdict. ...unless, of course, you don't like cartoons in general, but then, why would you be reading these comments then?!
