EssenceStory Well Deserved Praise

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

invisibleunicornninja I remember watching this when I was younger, and I loved it. Its so funny. I wish there had been more episodes though.

N R This is the most unique and engaging show my kids and I have ever seen. I don't let my kids watch much on TV but they can watch this show as many times as they like. My oldest son watched it as a small child and now that he's a teenager I catch him watching with his youngest brother and still laughing at the shenanigans. I feel no shame in admitting I enjoy it as well. What is a shame is that only 13 episodes were ever made. The writing and acting are both as creative and clever as it gets. It's not about learning ABCs or counting but it's teaching kids to think outside the box, problem-solve, and use their imaginations to the fullest. It is interactive and it features children of all sizes, skin tones and abilities. It seems every aspect of this show was carefully crafted by early learning experts who also happen to be hilarious and clever comedians. If you are looking for a show for your children (or heck, even yourself) that promotes creative thinking and the kind of play that doesn't involve gadgets, you've found it.

nbsmith20 The first time I saw this show I thought "what are these guys on?" Then I watch again, and found myself getting up at 4 am (the time it airs in my town) just to watch it. Now I have VDR so I have all the episodes on it (sadly only 13). My daughter (2) loves it, I've noticed she talks more (says more words) including "upside down", "action fingers" among others. She also interacts with the show. Even though she has seen the episodes over and over again, it's like she seeing it again for the first time.I am very "upset" at the fact Nickolodeon and Noggin did not ask for a second season. I hope somebody does soon, and if not, and they would only make it for DVDs that I had to purchase, I totally would! BRING IT BACK!!!!

kalisamuels At last a children's show that inspires their imaginations to new heights.The show is based on two brothers living in a house with doors (and drawers) that take them to all sorts of interesting and fantastic places as they solve the days quest. The viewers help control the show with an imaginary remote control which can do all sorts of amazing things. The brothers (David and Shane) interact with the incredibly flexible Mrs Foil, puppets, young children and imaginary characters to create a world where anything is possible. Even the narrator is priceless with unpredictable door knock policies and a cricket style replay commentary. Much of the show is visual humour that really gets a 'laugh out loud' reaction from the kids and they get a real kick out of fast-forwarding, rewinding and turning the characters upside down with the remote control.David and Shane have long been one of Australia's cleverest and funniest comedy acts(The Umbilical Brothers)and have been entertaining adult audiences for years. I was intrigued to see they were in a children's show but thought my 3½ year old son would not enjoy it as he only seems interested in animated stories. Was I wrong! He is not only glued from start to finish but interacts with the characters the whole way through. When it is over, he turns the TV off (that's never happened before!) and then plays games based on it for hours. He has always had a good imagination but this programme has taken it to whole new level and improved his vocabulary too. Best of all, it's a show we can enjoy together. We both have a really good laugh and then get to play 'remote control' all day. This is particularly handy in the evening as our remote has a 'have a bath' button and a 'go to bed button' (the 'sleep in a little later on Sunday' button is apparently broken, sadly). Congratulations to David, Shane, writers and crew on what has to be the most entertaining children's show ever!
