If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

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.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

I wasn't a huge fan of this when I was in the target audience. I thought it was mildly funny but ultimately annoying. I only watched it if there was nothing else to watch and avoided watching it. Its stupid and the characters are annoying. The animation isn't very good and neither is the voice acting from what I can remember. Adults might like it (I say this reading other reviews), but most kids won't.

...and I'm 40 yrs old! I really like to watch with my nieces and nephew, because they're learning to read (2 have been learning and 1 isn't ready yet). From a learning perspective, it helps because the kids have been shown the spelling out and *creation* of a word, so when we're practicing their reading, I can get them to spell & sound out much easier when I remind them of that visual from Word World.Aesthetically, I like the imagination in the creators. Every new word they build, I wonder what the final product will look like, and am always surprised. My fave has to be dog's HOUSE.... you ever notice that the open windows in the O sorta make the HOUSE into DOGHOUSE? I also really like the song that Ant & Pig sing in the playground about how 2 friends can say "I like you" just by playing together in the playground.. so true, so simple! And since they can't use the seesaw well, and ant can't reach the swing, they build a slide.I loved the vintage Electric Company, and this is one of the only shows I've seen that honors that phonics method of showing words being built (remember "sl....ide.... slide; bl....ind....blind; k... ind... kind")While many kids' shows teach important values in their stories, or teach words, I love that WordWorld teaches within the context of their clever stories and songs. Well worth every kid and grownup watching, as well as its awards!

they make kids shows.why are ducks always the loud-mouthed firecracker who can never do anything right? Disney and warner brothers cartoons. the stereotypes are consistent in this show. in this case, DUCK also has a southern twang.it accomplishes its intention to teach phonics and spelling conventions, but it is of note that requiring animation to hold someone's attention to a story means it discourages reading. fortunately, the jokes are not funny, there is almost no story, and the characters are tedious, so there will be no emotional attachment.the animations are relatively well-done, but it seems that the show was conceived of by graphic designers segueing into character design. creative typography is a very appealing trick for graphic designers. on this show, since the character design is not especially inspired/ iconic, i can assume that this is a portfolio piece.overall, while i can appreciate having children learn spelling with ease, i don't know if they should be exposed to mind numbing story lines and DUCK.

Wow. I caught this show by chance one day and was so impressed I had to look it up to watch it again. What a wonderful and fun way to teach spelling! In this computed-animated show, all of the animal friends, main scenery, and "props" are made out of the letters of their word. You have to see it to truly appreciate it. There is a dog made out of the letters d-o-g, a house formed from the letters for house, etc. Heck, during a camping episode if you look closely you will see that the flames of the fire are made out of f-i-r-e. The adventures of these animal friends center around building items from the letters that form their word. For example, when the pig is "baking" a birthday cake, he grabs the letters c, a, k and e then when he puts them together, the word animates to form a cake (with frosting!) out of the letters. In another episode, the frog and dog are building a tent, and the tent won't go up until, after several tries, they finally sound out the word and put the letters in the correct order. The animated adventures are split into roughly 10 minute segments, perfect for the very young age group that is obviously targeted.If the quality of the show stays the same as the few episodes I've seen, I'd buy this series on DVD in a second.
