A Poem About The Farm, By Maisy

It wasn't so bad when I spoke gibberish
And imitated noises on the farm
But now that Sky Kids has made me count chicks,
Watch out, Sky - I'm armed!

My Views On Digimon Adventure 2020 On Sky Kids

Some Sky Kids' shows do a pretty terrible job at teaching kids how to learn. Cocomelon-style music video programmes, animated series featuring characters with bratty behaviour, overstimulating fast cuts, etc.. But aside from a programme I loved on the network, Norman Picklestripes, two years ago, I can agree that Digimon Adventure 2020 is the only one that is bearable to watch. It may contain the charm of the original '90s Digimon Adventure series, but despite the focus on Tai and Agumon, I'm always happy to let the other characters, specifically Tailmon (what happened to Gatomon?), the holy Digimo-? Woah woah woah woah - who allows religious imagery and swear words in a kids' anime?! Those Japanese are crazy, aren't they?

arranco de varsovia - forca da imaginaco

I've been meaning to post this Brazilian song on my blog since January 2023. I almost forgot about it until it showed up on my Youtube recommendation feed. I was like, "Woah woah woah, what do we have here?" And guess what? The tune sounded familiar, and it was to me! It was...a Putumayo song!

When I first heard this tune during the time I was trying out the new Sky Kids channel (and taking a liking to the serene, quiet Australian puppet show Beep & Mort), I was into Norman Picklestripes, a show which just premiered. The one thing I like about Norman Picklestripes is the songs, which are all set on a stage. I could just hear people cheering and clapping and throwing flowers for Norm, yelling "We love you, Norm!" and "You're the best Sky Kids character since Beep & Mort!" Even the Earth Day 2 part special is one to watch to take in an environmentally friendly message. Guess what else makes this series appealing? It's made by the people who created Scream Street, Clangers, Strange Hill High and The Tiny Chef Show...

...but due to lack of money, they shut down. I am so sad to hear of the parting of the irresistible characters we all know and love.

In order to remember them, listen to this song in Brazilian. You'll know the words in a flash.
