Hacker's Totally Rockin' Pop Song

 

HACKER:
Oh yeah! Join in, everybody!

Sybil had a totally rockin year!
2020! 2020!
So let's all fill our hearts with cheer!
What did Sybil cherish this year?
Let's find out!

On the 4th she saw Mimi & The Mountain Dragon,
It brings tears to my eyes
On the 6th she did a Baby Looney Tunes story
It's better than a hairystyling surprise!
On the 13th she went out with Amy
I'd like to meet that hot chick
On the 23rd, she visited a museum...
BORING! What else is there?

On the 28th she saw an episode of Wishenpoof
Where Bianca made a rainbow cake with puffy cloud frosting (yum!)
And IF she saw mouse cookies on the 4th, then...
I'll use this made up word: Belosting!
On the 10th she predicted Puss In Boots
Anyone for Netflix & Chill?
The 21st was a very sad day
So she wrote a hide-and-seek story and took her pills!
On the 29th, she thought about Transformers Armada
A Me, You, And...version? I'm in!
On the 6th she did Me, You, And Transformers Cybertron
But on that week her neighbourhood made quite a din!
On the 12th, she found out Topsy & Tim
Will be airing on CBBC
on the 18th, she discovered a new show My Pride
It's much too dark for me
(But it is inspiring for her!)

On the 27th, CBBC told a lie
So she spent lockdown watching Bluey and Cybertron
On the 1st she saw Horrid Henry again
It's the episode with the show KidsSwap
Two best days ever on the 9th and the 10th
A story of two brothers and a chocolate egg
On the 14th she put ice skating into I.B.F.F Diaries
Hey! That was my last leg!
On the 22nd, she saw Esme & Roy
Tiny Pop isn't that boring!
She got a sugar crash on her 20th birthday
All this chocolate kept her snoring!
On the 5th she gave a meaning to Kid-E-Cats
It's not Peppa Pig to all of us!
On the 13th, she saw the Consider Yourself song
And she loves Dog Loves Books more than a London bus!
On the 22nd, she helped Dog find the Wumpus
She got a new computer...with pop-up ads? NO!
She commented about Bluey's 'The Sleepover'
With The Son Of Bigfoot airing the day before, CBBC had a way to go
On the 3rd she saw Bluey as a teen
During the episode 'Camping' which introduced Jean-Luc
On the 8th she saw the episode 'BBQ'
The Walk That Changed The World aired on CBBC, LOOK!
On the 17th, she wrote a captivating tale of trust
It's name is Me, You, And Transformers Armada
On the 23rd, she went wild the The Eagle's Nest,
An I.B.F.F story that made her life less harder
On the 3rd she saw this week's Blue Peter
And wrote a thoughtful letter to say thank you
On the 9th she went back to Boomerang
To watch films starring Scooby-Doo!
On the 13th, she saw a movie 'bout Sir Topham Hatt
Which reminded her of Factory Create
On the 20th, she did an early version of Joking Around
With ABC characters?!
[No, this won't do. That's an earlier idea, sorry!]

On the 27th, she saw the Goblin King
It reminded her of Scream Street, we missed that thing
The week following, she saw the Ghoul School
It reminded her of Malory Towers and it's real cool!
There were three special days the week following that
She used meditation to think up new stories...
She welcomed Scream Street back, oh what glory!
She found Dog's favourite composer is Camille Saint-Saens...
[I don't know what else rhymes with 'Ory']

On the 18th, she met Bedtime Baboon
Who lives with Cousin Matilda and creates stories with the moon
There were two best days the following week
Playschool Drama, ponies and a natural peak
On the 2nd, NOW I can mention The 'Hood,
With Teenage Fairytale Dropouts, that's good
On the 7th, she got a Bluey badge and card
What else can't make her life extra hard?
The 18th and 19th were the best days
She took a weekend off not to work but to play
On the 21st, calmness and jungles collide
With such a peaceful secret life to hide
On the 29th, she did Learn With Bingo
An instructional and educational 'Hood video!

Now that's all until the end of this year,
Just sit back and relax
There's more to come this year on this blog
So until that stupid virus goes away...
Enjoy the good things in life!

The 'Hood: Up & Down

 

One of the new episodes for The 'Hood I'll do soon is 'Up & Down'. Up & Down is the alternate name for one of the new Bluey episodes, Seesaw (no, not the controversially scary Teletubbies episode). In The 'Hood's episode, the gang decide to climb their favourite tree, but Bingo, Tiny, Templeton and Marcia stay behind on the ground and watch. When the gang get stuck, Marcia rallies her friends into action, showing viewers how to get help in an emergency by dialling 000 (that's in Australia, you call 999 here). Until I make 'Up & Down' and show Aussie youngsters visiting the blog how to dial 000, you can find more emergency information for kids here:

My Dream About Hammerbarn

 

Last night, I had a dream about sitting in a dark room with only a small window lit up above me. I was watching the Bluey episode Hammerbarn, waiting to question why I should bring Bluey to the UK. Should I? Should I not?

Why I Love The Scooby Doo Spooky Collection

 

I love the Scooby Doo Spooky DVD Bumper Pack. Why? Because of the movies featured of course, instead of containing fake monsters that the gang unmask with a shocked cry of the prosecutor's name, it contains real, goofy monsters, although the last one, 'Scooby Doo On Zombie Island', does contain gruesome and dark monsters - y'know, zombies - and should be replaced with Scooby Doo & The Reluctant Werewolf. The main reason why I love this collection is because of the first two movies - Scooby Doo & The Goblin King and Scooby Doo & The Ghoul School.

First, Scooby Doo & The Goblin King is such a magical Scooby Doo film - the most magical there is yet, with a world where it's Halloween forever and all kinds of monsters live, despite all the flashing that occurs whenever magic is performed. It's sort of what happens when Scooby and Shaggy mess with the film reel and end up in The Nightmare Before Christmas, but I think of it as a mix of Scooby Doo, Scream Street, Peter Pan and South Park's Imaginationland that'll make you want to shout "Allah!" again and again. In fact, it would be better if Scooby shouted "Allah!" instead of his usual "Scooby Dooby Doo!" catchphrase, but Warner Bros might cut it out to avoid Islamic threats like the South Park creators did when they tried to add (M word) into the show during its Cartoon Wars 2-parter. There's no part of the film I didn't like, and I would really love to go the Halloween Land because it reminds me of - what else - Scream Street.

Finally, Scooby Doo & The Ghoul School is a good one for me because it contains slightly goofier monsters, and Fred, Daphne and Velma aren't seen at all, giving Scooby and Shaggy plenty of time to shine. I especially love all the little monsters that attend the Ghoul School, and it's even mentioned in the Scooby Doo cookbook during a recipe for Swamp Brownie Cocoa. It's sort of like a mix of Scooby Doo, Scream Street, Sweet Valley High, Malory Towers and Little Wolf's Big Book Of Badness, like Scooby and Shaggy have been sent away by their Mystery Inc friends to school until they can behave properly. Scrappy Doo, Scooby's nephew, is included in this and the Boo Brothers, which is also on this collection - while some people hate Scrappy, I think of him as awfully cute. I used to see him a lot on Boomerang as a kid, accompanied by Daphne as well and sometimes Flim-Flam. I've yet to check out the Boo Brothers, but I need to check out Curse Of The 13th Ghost as well, as well as The 13 Ghosts Of Scooby Doo.

I like to compare Scooby Doo films to other content depending on its tone, but Goblin King and Ghoul School take the cake. I also like Reluctant Werewolf and Arabian Nights, but I've yet to check out Boo Brothers if it airs on Boomerang. I should've added this DVD collection to my Christmas list, even though Christmas isn't in October, and I'm glad I did this blog post in October since it's October Dooby Doo on Boomerang!

Scooby Doo & The Monster Of Mexico Is An All-Peoples' Scooby Movie...

 


Also, the chihuahua character in this film reminds me of a character of the same dog breed in the classic BBC animated series Barney:

Scooby Crafts & Games

Just because Scooby Doo & The Loch Ness Monster and Scooby Doo & The Monster Of Mexico are airing today...

How I Feel This Weekend

 

The Deep? On ABC Kids?!

 

I don't believe ABC would air this on their ABC Kids network. I mean, they're used to airing Shaun The Sheep and Odd Squad, but this?! That's something I've got to put on my blog. And I just did!

Jungles & Dragons!

 


Horrid Henry is coming back to Nicktoons and I, Super Sybil, will be the first to see the horrid boy that once dominated CiTV in brand new adventures - he confronts the dentist and has a twin? It's enough to make the Demon Dentist from David Walliams groan.

My Diary - 28th September-4th October

 

28th September


Some exciting news about new episodes of Scream Street has got me doing the Scream Street moves!

29th September


Learn With Bingo is an educational and instructional story told in a heartwarming way with Bingo, Tiny, Missy and Lila.

1st October


I did an insightful and funny blog post talking about which Clifford The Big Red Dog episode suits your personality.

2nd September



Stick With Imagination is a haunting and beautiful story about bubbles and escaping into a fantasy world, like a ghost story.

3rd September

I can't believe a trailer for Scooby Doo & The Loch Ness Monster got featured on Clifford's Really Big Movie!

Luke, Resus & Cleo Review Double Feature

 



LUKE: Would you 'Luke' at that! There's two surprises in store! Me, You, And Transformers Armada: Love Stronger Than Muscle, and an episode of The 'Hood! Let's review the first one.
CLEO: Picking up from where we last left off, Furaha accompanies the Autobots on a mission to rescue a Mini-Con from Antarctica, and she finds an Arctic fox hiding amongst the snow.
RESUS: I've never seen an Arctic fox before.
CLEO: You've seen one now.
LUKE: Looks like the two are enjoying themselves as they are looking for the Arctic fox's mum and dad.
RESUS: Oh no! They've encountered Cyclonus! *gasps* And he's thrown Furaha into an ice cave! Animal cruelty alert!
LUKE: Eh but look at this: Cyclonus realizes his mistake, and continues Furaha's task of bringing the Arctic fox back to her parents. Are you ready, 'cause this is the sad part.
RESUS: Yeah, go ahead.
LUKE: Although Furaha is on the verge of freezing to death, Optimus comes to rescue her and brings her back overnight. Following that, she has a dream similar to that of Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree - except it's not a boy and a tree, it's a cub and an Autobot.
RESUS: *sniffs* Beautiful.
CLEO: Now, it ends when Furaha and her two Mini-Con friends, Jolt and Sparkplug, pounce onto Hot Shot to wake him up. It almost reminds me of Bluey, and you know what that means?
ALL THREE: Onto The 'Hood!
*
LUKE: A beach vacation fantasy? Sweet.
RESUS: Just what we need for escaping Dr. Skulley and his boring lessons.
CLEO: The Clangers have a musical fantasy similar to that of Mickey Mouse's dream in The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
LUKE: I always knew they were into music, those Clangers.
CLEO: Would you look at this? Bluey and Bingo have a fantasy they share with all their friends: all of them playing together near a giant tree with a slide near a ball pit near a huge playground.
LUKE: Do Bandit and Chilli have a fantasy?
RESUS: Yes, and it's a spacey jungle beach type world. I hope my mum indulges in this fantasy, I hate to see her in a bikini - it embarrasses me!
CLEO: Shut up, Resus!
LUKE: It's based on the Bluey episode 'Escape''s alternate name, 'Stick With Imagination', you know, because Bluey, Bingo, Mum and Dad use their imaginations to create a story where Mum and Dad try to escape from their daughters.
RESUS: You're going back to calling them Mum and Dad? Fine.
CLEO: And using our imaginations, our world and the Clangers' world combine to create a soft and peaceful world made entirely of duvets.
RESUS: Sounds soft - I'd love to visit.
LUKE: And have a pillow fight!
[Luke bashes Resus with a cushion. Resus does the same back, until all three are having a pillow fight.]

Look out for more MYATA: Love Stronger Than Muscle and more episodes of The 'Hood coming soon!
-Yours sincerely,
Sybil, Luke, Resus & Cleo

The 'Hood: Stick With Imagination & Joking Around

 I just did Stick With Imagination earlier!

Stick With Imagination:
Each section of the gang has their own fantasy which they can indulge in after a hard day, even Bluey's mum and dad have their own fantasy. But what happens when the kids' fantasies collide? Only Bluey knows the answer...
Joking Around:
While Dad and his mates watch the footie game on TV in Bluey's house, the gang, Muffin, Socks and Lucky spend time at Izzy's house wondering why people joke around so much, and use a tin can to communicate with Dad and Uncle Stripe.

The 'Hood Ep.73: Stick With Imagination

 

The gang embark on another dream adventure, this time in the gang's fantasy worlds. The big kids dream of relaxing on a vacation island, Tiny and Small dream of conducting music in their dark space-like world, Bluey and Bingo dream of playing with their friends in a world ruled by kids and Mum and Dad have a world of their own, ruled by grown ups who want to spend time away with their kids.
