Aussierang

 

Boomerang viewers listen up! Scooby Doo & The Legend Of The Vampire may be the last film Boomerang airs for now, but soon the channel will air another Aussie-related property - The 'Hood, and unlike the antics the Scooby Gang get up to in the film, the antics the gang in this one gets up to is more light hearted and less related to monsters - aside from 'The Night Guardian' and 'Watch Out For Goblins' - with its score of reggae music and mixed animation styles such as puppetry, stop motion and flash animation. The first few moments of this film, when the Scooby Gang explore Australia, reminds me of Barnaby Bear Goes Down Under, a story that used to be on the BBC website:

I wonder if Scooby and the gang ever saw ABC Kids and ABC Me on their travels? Better yet, did they appear on a School Of The Air? It's a radio station that teaches Aussie kids who live too far from school. Imagine what the radio announcer would say: "I've got some visitors from America here today - Scooby Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velma."

Oh, I Forgot....

Scooby Doo & The Legend Of The Vampire was supposed to air at 2:30, not 2:00.

If I Made Me, You, And Scooby Doo & The Goblin King

 

If I made a movie named Me, You, And Scooby Doo & The Goblin King, it would begin with Fred leading the viewers into saying "Allah!" to begin the story. Here, Furaha, Upendi and their new friend, a pink lioness cub with fantastic G3.5 Cheerilee-style hair named Candy, can't get over the story of Peter Pan and visit the Scooby Gang to share the story with them. As they help Scooby and Shaggy trick-or-treat, they are whisked into the magical world of Halloween Land, where Scooby and Shaggy help poor little Candy overcome her fear of terrorists which separated her from her family back in Iraq. In Halloween Land, anyone can imagine up anything with a little magic, even cubs, but all Candy imagines is terrorists attacking the place, and Furaha, Upendi, Scooby and Shaggy help her overcome her imagination and make it cleaner to save Halloween and the world once and for all. Apart from "Allah", the movie will feature words in Hebrew language...but then again, Iraq will terrorize me for turning Me, You, And...into a message about Scooby Doo promoting attacks, and I don't want this to happen!

The Mouse-Cookie Goodnight Routine

 

Inspired by the If You Give A Mouse A Cookie episode 'Goodnight Mouse', I've invented a new way to enjoy bedtime the same way Mouse and his friends did - 'The Mouse Cookie Goodnight Routine'. By doing the same activities as Dog, Mouse, Cat, Pig, Moose and their friends do, these fun activities will help you prepare for a simple night's rest.

• Dog's Activity - Crazy Runaround Time - Slip on your favourite pyjamas and run around the room in a wild and crazy way to silly, upbeat and fast music. Make sure you don't turn the volume up, though, the neighbours are preparing for bed too - and maybe they're doing the Mouse-Cookie Goodnight Routine too! It'll help show your kids that staying healthy is vitally important for their wellbeing, especially the next activity...
• Pig's Activity - Yoga - Take time to do various poses to calm down and think about all the lovely things you did today. I like to think about all the nice things that happened today sometimes, not nasty things like loud noises or little accidents. For a more soothing effect, light a scented candle or put on some relaxing music, and maybe even blow bubbles if you have some.
• Cat's Activity - Brushing Teeth - Keep track of your child's toothbrushing routine with a two minute egg timer, and maybe sing a favourite nursery rhyme such as 'Wheels On The Bus' or 'Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush' to make it more fun and engaging for your child.
• Moose's Activity - Porridge Or Another Warm Snack - Before bed, treat your child to a warm snack, such as pizza, sausage rolls, warm sandwiches or...porridge? A nice warm bowl of porridge can make your child more sleepy than any other food used to put children to sleep, such as a spoonful of Nyquil.
• Mouse's Activity - Do All 6! - Just have a simple bedtime routine. Put on your favourite pyjamas, brush your teeth, fetch a glass of water, choose a favourite stuffed animal and read a bedtime story (or do it in sign language if you're deaf) or sing a lullaby.

With all these sleepytime activities, you can be like Mouse and his friends! IF it's bedtime, THEN...rely on this blog entry to make preparing for bedtime fun and Mouse Cookieish!

My Diary - 31st August-6th September

 

31st August

I was hot and suffocating on my walk, but I had a cool, sweet drink of orange juice.

1st August

A complicated episode which is a lot of fun! Izzy teaches Bluey and her friends a method of world peace and play.

2nd September

Just like in 'Uncle Muffin', 'Boredom' is about pillow fights and building a den.

3rd September

I did a lazy weekend type story for The 'Hood and went on a walk with Libby.

4th September

Me, You, And Care Bears: Journey To Joke-A-Lot has a how to construct a story start, the word 'Wiggleticker' and lots of action.

5th September

What would happen if Clifford's Puppy Days aired on Milkshake? I found out with a blog entry.

6th September

IF it's bedtime, THEN Mouse would want to make a box into a book, and a tyre into a bicycle.

If The 'Hood Was A 1998 Audio Series...

 

Videos I Saw At Grandma's Today

 

The Angel & Devil That Control My Thoughts And Feelings

 

Apparently the film Inside Out told all of us a lie. Autistic people actually have a red devil cat and white angel cat controlling our minds and telling us what to do. While the devil tells us to be clumsy and act like a total fool, the angel tells us to do good, for better or for worse. They often appear on your shoulders like they do in cartoons to berate you or to tell you to do something to ease the fear. You lied to us, Pixar!

If I Did Me, You, And Scooby Doo: Camp Scare

 

If there were to be a Me, You, And Scooby Doo: Camp Scare, it would be about Furaha finding a mystical orb that predicts her future at Camp Little Moose - she checks it a couple of times to see if her future is right, and with the help of the Scooby Gang, she tries to learn not to worry about the future nor the past, time will tell if she's made moments count. She also partakes in swimming, eating and playing with the gang near the lake, and with her family too, making this a great and yet wild family memory.

I'm So Glad Teenage Fairytale Dropouts Not Only Airs On ABC Me, But Also On Seven Network

 

Skye Says

 

Well, Skye appeared on the Paw Patrol hair detangler I got for Christmas two years ago, so this and the My Little Pony hair detangler weren't a big deal to me.

I was thinking about all the programmes I'd watch when I'd live in Australia, such as Bluey, Teenage Fairytale Dropouts, Strange Hill High, Scream Street and Clangers. I'd see lots of Australian sights like they showcased in Bluey and...well, Australian television is like a Cannes Film Festival you can see everyday.

If Clifford's Puppy Days Aired On Milkshake

 

If Clifford's Puppy Days aired on Milkshake, it'll air just before Harry & His Bucketful Of Dinosaurs - judging by how the characters in both shows' eyes have the same black bead pupils, I was maybe thinking that Clifford The Big Red Dog might air on Milkshake if it weren't airing on CBeebies.
