Who's Who On Toonami?

Guess what I found, Orko's not going to be pleased when he sees I've found continuity from a weekend He Man marathon back in 2003. Yeah, and the bumper shows He Man covered in blood, so don't underestimate a good natured hero who delivers morals at the end of every episode...what do you have to say about it, Orko?

"I can't take anymore!"

10 Things I'll Talk About With The Pool Group If I Visited The 147 Club Today

10.Me & Winnie The Pooh.

It's a delightful new slow paced CGI series introducing you to a new world of Pooh and his friends Tigger and Piglet. Most of the CGI series on Disney Junior is really fast paced, but not with this and Playdate With Winnie The Pooh.

9.Caring Comfort: Fishing By The River.

In Caring Comfort, Furaha and her foster family live a life both wild and royal. The other people at the Pool Group would love to live a life like Furaha, running around the river, splashing their friends and fishing with their mouths and sharp lion teeth! Rawr.

8.Arctic Wonderland.

This is a new idea I thought up, featuring Furaha, Orko and Optimus Prime living in the wilderness of the Arctic. They don't mind the cold one bit, and enjoy playing in the snow and exploring their surroundings every day, from doing what you do on snowy days like making snow angels and having snowball fights, to sliding in the snow and interacting with the other wild residents of the Arctic - not that I'm saying they're into wild parties, but I meant the wild animals like polar bears, seals, walruses. Everyone at The 147 Club will love hearing my tales of Arctic freedom.

7.Teletubbies - Po's Fall Down Day.

This happens to be my favourite segment in Here Come The Teletubbies, where Po spends a day falling over and saying "Oh dear," afterwards, worrying the other Teletubbies. Whatever part of the day she experiences, such as eating breakfast, playing on the control panel or playing catch with La-La's ball, she falls over. The first half of the segment includes simple fade in transitions, which might be better if accompanied by the narrator saying things like 'Later, at breakfast...' or '10 minutes later...'. In the second half, Tinky Winky witnesses Po falling over and decides to join her. Soon, the other Teletubbies join, and everyone's enjoying a falling down day. Sometimes I want to fall down from lack of sleep!

6.Toonami's December 2002 Lineup.

When I was 2 years old, overseas the new He Man and Transformers Armada series premiered on Toonami. You know, the block on Cartoon Network with the robotic host TOM and his artificially intelligent British-accented computer program sidekick SARA, before it moved to Adult Swim and started lazily repeating reruns of My Hero Academia. Oh my god, Turner, will you ever learn to control your kids' shows?! Anyway, everyone in the Pool Group will love hearing about Toonami's December 2002 lineup - both halves and the Transformers Armada marathon - especially when Toonami got disrupted that Christmas by CN's 24 Hour Christmas Party, which was good because Adult Swim was disgusting and horrible. Let's all give the finger to Adult Swim, please!

5.CBeebies 'You've Got This' posters.

Sure, CBeebies has grown up, and Bluey doesn't fit, but of course these lift posters will brighten anyone's mood. Featuring Bluey and Hey Duggee, they will brighten any parent's day - and maybe even stop tantrums whenever the kids spy a bright pink unicorn cookie in the shopping centre! Everyone in the Pool Group would think this is a super idea, but I STILL DON'T LIKE CBEEBIES FOR WHAT THEY DID TO MY FAVOURITE BEDTIME LINEUP!!! Still, this publicity thing is a good idea.

4.Pipp's Best Livestream Ever.

This fun story featuring me and my friends tells of Pipp from MLP: Make Your Mark, who livestreams a whole best day ever with me and my friends. We head to the ice cream parlour, get treated with a makeover at the beauty salon and visit Rex The Runt and his roommates. My friends coming with me include Luke, Resus, Cleo, Bluey and Bingo. Imagine the looks on the Pool Group's faces when I tell them about a pegasus pony spending the whole day livestreaming in the pool club with them!

3.Asleep In The Car.

This gentle story may or may not be inspired by those Angry Kid shorts where Angry Kid and his dad are in the car engaging in gross, sick, bratty antics - a sort of problem every parent goes through on car journeys in the UK. One of the shorts was called 'Headlights', which is about as nightmarish as any of the shorts, or even the animation style. Well, in Asleep In The Car, which is a Me, You, And...vignette, the family car runs out of oil and Kiburi and Ua have to make do with waiting in the car on the curb for a whole night to be rescued. Furaha and Orko are asleep in the back of the car, and Kiburi and Ua are feeling really happy their two children are fast asleep, and quietly engage in a conversation about how happy they are to have such peaceful, angelic children.

2.Barbie: Epic Road Trip.

I'm going to play this as part of watching Not Quite Narwhal and other girly Netflix favourites. There are many, many, MANY Barbie series that came before it, included Barbie Life In The Dreamhouse, which I've yet to try if I watch Netflix. The best thing about CGI kids' series on Netflix is that every single one has slow paced animation, much like the new MLP movie, A New Generation, where the animation is at a reasonable pace so kids can get their eyes glued to the ponies on the screen. In Barbie: Epic Road Trip, you get to be in the driver's seat as you lead Barbie and her friends on the best road trip ever! Which path will you choose? It's almost like being Barbie's movie star chauffeur! I can't wait to try it out.

1.2 Entertain Releasing Thomas & Friends, Walking With Monsters & Aardman's Darkside.

WOAH! Imagine - one company, who merged with VCI and BBC Video, releasing all these different titles on DVD and VHS in the decade I was born! Walking With Monsters is for those who are curious about what happened before the dinosaurs were around and featured the most gruesome creatures ever seen by the human eye, including the giant spider that appears in episode 2. Thomas & Friends is well known by fans of trains and model trains, and each episode from the time 2 Entertain released the series is an easy going, chilled out story of one tank engine and his friends' adventures discovering Sodor. Much better than the CGI series, eh? And finally, in Aardman's Darkside, we see a whole host of adult animations from the creators of Wallace & Gromit, such as Rex The Runt and A Town Called Panic. Okay, I won't call Rex The Runt and A Town Called Panic harmless, but Angry Kid is creepy and Big Jeff is disgusting and rude, especially if you're offended by this as an Australian who recently moved to Britain. If I were you, I'd watch Rex and Panic and nothing else, not even the shorts, including the one where a rambler takes sick, twisted substances during his nature walk. Never, ever EVER will you trust Britain's best loved animation studio again, or Angry Kid will shoot you with his catapult!

Caring Comfort: Fishing In The River

Furaha waded across the river, her little paws splashing and making little white waves as she gazed at her reflection in the water. She looked back, and saw that Optimus and Wizardmon were already watching her proudly. Immediately she started to go crazy and run about the water, splashing and laughing like there was no tomorrow.

When she ducked down into the river, she emerged with a fish in her mouth. “Good job!” called Wizardmon, “You seem to have the hang of it now!” “Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm,” muffled Furaha, who actually meant “Thank you very much.” through her muffling. Suddenly, someone began to splash her, making the young cub throw her fish out onto the land. Wizardmon went over to the freshly-caught fish and placed it into his knapsack.

Furaha looked around and saw Orko and Gatomon giggling away. “Oi! What’s happening? I just caught a perfect catch!” said Furaha, an adorable look of annoyance on her face. “We thought we could join in too,” said Gatomon, “So we don’t get left behind.” Furaha thought for a moment. Then, she smiled and splashed Orko, who wailed in joy. “The more the merrier!” she cried. Orko and Gatomon cheered excitedly and all of them began splashing each other as the watching Optimus and Wizardmon laughed proudly.

Furaha couldn’t be happier to have two very special siblings by her side. Usually, cats are afraid of water, but Gatomon felt the pride in herself in enjoying the water so much. Orko didn’t mind the water, even if it got his clothes wet. The three friends splashed about in the river, splashing each other, lying in the cool water and engaging in soft, gentle hugs to show their father and uncle they care about each other.

When they were not playing in the water, they were chasing each other and tumbling about in the grass. Furaha’s laughter felt like music to Optimus’ earplates, and Wizardmon felt proud seeing Gatomon play with Orko and his sister. Then, it was Optimus’ turn to play his part. “Ssssshhh,” he whispered to Wizardmon, who laughed quietly.

Furaha, Orko and Gatomon went to hide behind a large rock near the river, giggling loudly, as Optimus sneaked up behind them…and GRABBED them playfully! Furaha, Orko and Gatomon screamed in joy as Optimus gave them a ride on his shoulders across the valley, and back to the river, where he fell into the water and hugged his three children.

Wizardmon wished he could join them. “Maybe next time,” he said as he made his way back to the palace.

10 Things I'd Talk About During One Stop Shop Drop In Sessions

10.Sonic Prime.

I'd talk with my new friends about how the third season's storyline is really boring, but I mainly love Mangey Tails best.

9.Amautik Love: The Muddy River.

A Trollan wizard and a toddler lioness cub smearing themselves with mud near the river? THAT's something to talk about.

8.Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie.

This anime-like film should be animated by a proper anime studio, much like Avatar: The Last Airbender.

7.Mech Cadets.

Mech Cadets is really boring, but it would be better if there were a multiple choice game to fit in with things like Barbie Epic Road Trip and Johnny Test's Ultimate Meatloaf Quest.

6.Super Giant Robot Brothers.

Sure, its shaky camera format makes it look like an animated documentary, but still, Thunder is my all time favourite of the two robot brothers - their human friends are just too expressionless.

5.ReBoot: The Guardian Code.

ReBoot? With a Power Rangers twist? No one would be guessing that until Once & Always premiered on Netflix.

4.Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury.

The Pop Power Rangers shows were really boring and the storylines didn't make any sense at all, but Cosmic Fury does, plus, it includes one of the original rangers, so...dibs!

3.My Barbie: A Touch Of Magic Pegasus doll.

With her purple star face paint and the yellow star in her eyes, the Barbie: A Touch Of Magic pegasus doll is definitely worth something to talk about. Something especially since The Toys That Made Us premiered on Netflix. Trip.

2.Not Quite Narwhal.

I'd be able to tell my new friends about My Little Pony, Gabby's Dollhouse, Barbie Epic Road Trip and Johnny Test's Ultimate Meatloaf Quest, which I'll be watching as soon as I've watched the newest season of Not Quite Narwhal.

1.Orko's Dog Dreams.

The heartwarming vignette of Orko having a dream of reuniting with his pet dog Sparky and turning 4 again will surely bring a tear to the eye of anyone who had a pet before. The pet-owner relationship between a Trollan wizard and his dog will warm anyone's hearts.

When I Hear Of The One Stop Shop & All Its Activities...

Amautik Love: The Muddy River

Downhill, there was a stream. It seemed very muddy and slushy and slimy, but toddler Furaha and I didn’t mind coming here. We know it’s not safe to drink because of the mud, so we run down to the river, where it ripples peacefully in time with nature’s rhythm.

Although my face is in shadow, I splash it with the cold water. My toddler cub sister decides to play around with the mud. She draws a line in the squelchy stuff with the side of her paw, then covers her face and body in it. Seeing her, I decide to cover my own ears, hands and arms in the mud. Inuit children are messy, aren’t they? They always like to do that. It’s an Inuit tradition.

I use my Arctic magic to produce a wooden bowl decorated and carved with images of animals like the polar bear and the Arctic fox. Filling the bowl up with water, I pour it over Furaha, who giggles as the mud is washed off her. She splashes me with water, and I splash her back. She screams!

“Alright, let’s see how muddy we can get each other!” I call out, and soon we are hurling mud at each other, Furaha screaming and yelling in joy and me laughing as I attempt to chase her and throw mud at her. At last, covered in mud, we collapse, laughing like we hadn’t laughed before.

Discovering we are covered in mud, we decide to wash ourselves off in the river. I use the wooden bowl to wash all the mud off Furaha, then clicking my fingers, I produce a huge amount of storm clouds which cover the bright pink sky and darken the valley below.

First, it starts to rain in a light shower. Then it gets heavier. I feel the freedom of the rain as it washes the mud off my velvety soft clothes. “Woohoo! Wheeeeeeeee!!” I shout as I float around the valley near the river, taking in every drop of rain that cleanses not only my body, but my soul too.

Furaha runs with me, her fur wet from the rain, and I pick her up, spin her round and cuddle her softly, as rain pours down all around us, cleansing us in a shower of purity and gentleness.

My Day Out According To Nemo & Marlin

My day out was full of overprotection. Tell that to Marlin, he was once overprotective to his son Nemo.

It was just before the events of Finding Nemo, and Marlin was leading Nemo on a picnic. Marlin was well aware that an iceberg would be passing, because a beluga whale told him when he was passing by. Marlin told Nemo to stay in the picnic spot while he grabbed some kelp, but he wandered off because he found a beautiful shiny pearl. Marlin saw him and shouted at him to stay in his spot or else he will be grounded for a month. Poor Nemo was offended, but still, he apologised and he and Marlin had their picnic. Suddenly, the iceberg floated overhead, shrouding the ocean in darkness and causing Marlin and Nemo to flee.

They were safely in their anemone at last, waiting for the snow to stop and the iceberg to pass. So, don't trust an overprotective support worker, or else you'll be like Nemo!

Okay, maybe you do want to trust them like I did.
