Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

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.

This show is the best PBS Kids show yet. Some shows on here such as Caillou and Dragon Tales Completely suck. and some other shows like Arthur and Clifford The Big Red Dog Rock. Well it is a pretty good show currently. Because the adventures are so hilarious. and the characters are so funny. I hope this show keeps on the air forever.

While there are a few good episodes, they are spread far and few. Basically, this is a bad show. Hal always goes "Wink Wink," and "Wink Wink" is also part of a Monty Python joke that's kind of inappropriate. It would be better if he did one wink and didn't say wink. Also, is waving your arms when saying "It floooooows!" really necessary? And of Nature Cat was really into nature, he would know that bees sting, mosquitoes bite, and that poison ivy gave you a rash. Also, I think Daisy carrying her phone around is making them hypocrites. If they really want to send a message, make her put her phone away. Or just have her using it for pictures and videos! And I never thought Nature Cat would like wearing a hula skirt. That's just wrong on so many levels. It would've been different it he did it as a joke or on a dare. They also did a bad job on the moon episode. Wolves and dogs howling at the moon is a myth! They howl to communicate with each other. And seriously, a moon dance? A rain dance, sure, but a moon dance? If you really want to learn about moon phases, then watch Ready Jet Go. And again, Nature Cat and Hal should know that you should get inside right away when a thunderstorm's coming. Forget the book and forget about wiping your feet!

I, too, find this series to be chock full of negatives. To start with, the show's creators resurrected the vocal mannerisms of Phil Silvers' Sgt. Bilko character for the lead character. That had already become a comedy cliché 50 years ago; did they have to dig up a totally tired trope that was irritating back when it was brand new? A good 20% of Nature Cat's dialogue is either "Tally Ho!" or "Onward and Yonward!" That gives you an immediate signpost of what the show is about. The badness extends to the rest of the cast also. One of the characters has a stereotypical "Southern Hick" accent. Umm, that's a really bad sign. I take it that this show is aimed at getting kids to get outside and interact directly with the natural world. The problem is, it is generally so dumb in tone that it's really hard to focus on what the subject matter might actually be. I can't wait to see the results of any objective testing that might in time be done to see how well it is succeeding at getting kids to turn off the TV and go outside.

Listen. I watch a lot of shows with my 2 almost 3 year old. Most of them make me want to jump out a window (Daniel Tiger and his sensitivity; Curios George and his chaos and his incompetent care taker The Man in the Yellow Hat). But I knew I was in for something better when I heard the familiar voice of Chris Parnell (in my head he will always be Dr. Spaceman) and then Bobby Moynihan. Discovering the other voices was a treat. My toddler runs around outside picking up sticks and rocks using announcer voice to say, "sticks! by nature!" "rocks! by nature!" I giggle at parts of the show and I appreciate that it is educational as well. So glad it exists and eager for more episodes to come!
