The Ridonculous Sidekick Sisters: A Kitty Ko-nnection

 When I first watched The Ridonculous Race in 2015, since it aired much earlier in the US than its native Canada, I was delighted to see the Total Drama universe introduce a new reality show with a different format from Total Drama Island. Owen, Noah, Geoff and Leonard all spun-off as the teams of reality TV pros, surfers and LARPers, and Brody and Tammy are new characters who were already friends with Geoff and Leonard before Total Drama Island. Everyone competing in Total Drama Island was a teenager, and some Ridonculous Race teams are also teens like the best friends, the goths, the twin boys, the stepbrothers, the rockers and the vegans. However, The Ridonculous Race has more age variety allowing for new sorts of character dynamics among teams, like a mother and daughter, a father and son, retired elderly tennis rivals, young gymnastic daters, and fashion bloggers and ice dancers in the middle of their adult careers. There is also a pair of sisters who are three years apart, and they are the main subject of this blog post because I am not a fashion blogger. Along with the police cadets, the sisters are among my most favorite Ridonculous Race teams who did not appear in earlier Total Drama seasons, but there might be more history to the characters of Emma and Kitty than most Total Drama Island viewers realize.

I rarely write blog posts because they are just a fun thing that I did for school and later for talking about a running joke in CinemaSins, The Prometheus School of Running Away From Things, which I just shorten to The Prometheus School of R.A.F.T.s. I get more views on YouTube than on blog posts, but the occasional blog post is a good medium to explore more lore on a subject I love to share with people on the internet, without worrying about the right way to record myself talking for a video, especially because I can always edit what I say on blog posts when I need to, and it is much easier than re-filming a video to be more concise than the first time I talked in it. When I saw Emma and Kitty in The Ridonculous Race, I instantly fell in love with Kitty because she has Lindsay's cute perky voice and face while being a much smarter person than Lindsay is, and because red is my most favorite color. I enjoyed watching Noah and Owen competing in another world travel reality contest after Total Drama World Tour, and I hope Millie and Priya follow in their footsteps, especially if they return in The Ridonculous Musical. Priya was happy to meet Owen in Fun Fight at the O'Cake Corral because he was TDI's first champion. While he gave up the $100,000 he won in Total Drama Island for a shot at $1,000,000 in Total Drama Action, he also won $1,000,000 on another undisclosed reality show before The Ridonculous Race. Millie might also like Noah because they are both studious kids who make fun of their generation's failures, until they become new best friends with the first winner of their respective casts. If Noah and Owen are allowed to compete in another Ridonculous Race season, they can coach Millie and Priya on how to be a more successful team than they were, and help them outlast Julia and Mary-Kate. Regardless of what happened with other original Total Drama Island contestants in Total Drama All-Stars, I really liked watching Noah and Owen form a new friendship alliance with Emma and Kitty, and it was fun to see Geoff play in The Ridonculous Race with Brody after Bridgette traveled with Noah and Owen without Geoff in Total Drama World Tour. Luckily, Bridgette's voice actress had another part to play in the Race as Carrie, and the toddler spin-off Total Dramarama reunited Bridgette and Izzy with Noah and Owen after The Ridonculous Race.

As the Reality TV Pros and the Sisters formed a tight new alliance, Noah made a good rebound boyfriend for Emma after Jake dumped her, and while Owen did not love Kitty in the same way, I can still see Kitty eventually being a good rebound girlfriend for Owen after Izzy dumped him. Kitty is at least on the market for a new boyfriend in case Owen loves her. However, when I look deeper into the Ridonculous Race's ongoing friendship between the Reality TV Pros and the Sisters, I also saw how it might be a crossover union of Total Drama Island and Sidekick. The first time I saw Kitty in The Ridonculous Race, my mind instantly went to another Chinese-Canadian girl named Kitty from Sidekick. This could just be a coincidence, because The Ridonculous Race's Kitty is drawn with a new outfit and a different hairstyle from Sidekick's Kitty Ko, and she never mentions any person named Eric, Mandy, Trevor or Vana during The Ridonculous Race. However, since Sidekick's creators Todd Kauffman and Joey So used to work on Total Drama Island as animators and directors, the Sidekick voice actresses who played Mandy Struction and Vana Glama were also cast to play the sisters Emma and Kitty, and Teletoon and YTV are both owned by Corus Entertainment, this Kitty situation may be less coincidental than we think. I personally believe in the possibility that Todd and Joey liked animating Total Drama so much, they may have lent Kitty to The Ridonculous Race because fans who liked watching Kitty experience silly superhero situations and adventures in Sidekick would want to see her again grown up in The Ridonculous Race. Fortunately for me, Sidekick is a four-fingered cartoon universe like Total Drama Island, and not a five-fingered cartoon universe like Todd Kauffman's later two series, Grojband and Looped.

Nikki Wong in 6teen+ Mandy Struction in Sidekick= Emma in The Ridonculous Race

When I saw Kitty in The Ridonculous Race, I thought I recognized her from Sidekick because both corresponding Kitty characters share some physical attributes and many personality traits, except that the older Ridonculous Race Kitty is obviously more mature and emotionally stable than her younger Sidekick counterpart. Even though The Ridonculous Race Kitty has Sidekick Vana's voice actress, she still talks and acts in a way that makes her sound more like the other Kitty from Sidekick, who was voiced by Denise Oliver. Both are cute, friendly, smart, strategic girls who are crazy about boys, they can withstand dangerous obstacles because they are much stronger than they look, and they also have black hair and wear red hair ties on both sides of their head. When I look at their eyebrows, eyes, nose and neck, I can see how The Ridonculous Race may have borrowed Kitty from Sidekick, but I would also advise making Devin, Emma and Kitty less yellow if they appear onscreen again in any newer season, since TDI's artists did this with MK in Season 2 of their new reboot cast, which also has another character named Emma. Until Total Drama's creators confirm that The Ridonculous Race's Kitty is not also Sidekick's Kitty Ko, Kitty's older sister is unofficially Emma Ko to me, to differentiate her name from Total Drama Island's other Emma character.

Even when we look at teenage Kitty in two somewhat different art styles, their facial features, hair colors, personality traits and number of fingers match up surprisingly well. If the sisters and Devin were color-corrected like MK, Kitty's skin might also be a consistent match. There are some plausible ways I can make the case for Sidekick and Total Drama to be connected in the same four-fingered universe through Kitty (if the superheroes and supervillains of Splitsboro never leave Splitsboro), explain how Kitty matured into a better person between Sidekick and The Ridonculous Race, and why we never saw Emma Ko or her boyfriend Jake with Kitty Ko during Sidekick.

"Law School" Emma"Blonde Chicken" Emma

Time for my personal headcanon backstory! Emma Ko and Kitty Ko both wanted to pursue different career paths in criminal justice ever since graduating elementary school, so - Mr. Ko and Mrs. Ko enrolled Emma in the Lawyer Academy and enrolled Kitty in the Sidekick Academy. We might think that Emma never appeared in Sidekick before the Race because she was in high school while Kitty was in middle school, but it is not only that. There is also a pre-sidekick/pre-superhero preschool in Fart of Darkness, so we can assume Splitsboro has academics for super crime-fighting at every level of education. The non-super areas of Splitsboro also need to educate the normal crime fighters on how to be a successful member of a strong legal team, and how to prove if someone is truly innocent or guilty. The evil half of Splitsboro, which has a Henchman Academy contrary to the Sidekick Academy, probably also has a bizarro Lawyer Academy teaching its students how to defend guilty criminals into going free while convicting innocent bystanders. to be continued

Liliana Mumy made Higglytown Heroes very fun to watch.

Starring Liliana Mumy as the voice of Twinkle

Higglytown Heroes was a really great and fun show to watch on Playhouse Disney Junior back in the mid-2000s and that is why I enjoyed watching it so much. I know it is not for everyone, especially not for people who are not interested in Russian nesting dolls that hide inside each other, but it still has a lot of heart, music and humor that make it worth watching. Even though Higglytown Heroes from 
Disney Junior may not have been nearly as popular as Nick Junior's hits of Blue's Clues, Dora the Explorer and Oswald, it is still a great show that I highly recommend because it is good at teaching lessons about everyday heroes, and much of the voice acting is also well-directed.

Sadly, Disney Junior did not really become as mainstream as Nick Junior until they got Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Doc McStuffins and Sofia the First in the early 2010s, which is a shame because I know I also enjoyed some of Bear in the Big Blue House, PB&J Otter and Stanley when I watched Playhouse Disney in the early-to-mid 2000s. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and My Friends Tigger and Pooh had the advantage of brand recognition attached to them. This may have helped 10-year old Chloe Grace Moretz go a long way in the same way that A Bug's Life helped 9-year old Hayden Panettiere & 13-year old Ashley Tisdale, because Chloe voiced Darby in My Friends Tigger & Pooh. Sadly, 10-year old Liliana Mumy did not have the same luck with voicing Twinkle in Higglytown Heroes.

Starring Chloe Grace Moretz as the voice of Darby

Liliana Mumy is not yet as famous as Chloe Grace Moretz despite being less than three years older, which is a shame because I know she could make it if she was given the chance. Her father Bill Mumy was also a child actor in Lost in Space, so maybe she took his advice to not have big on-camera roles like her contemporaries, Alyson Stoner and Chloe Grace Moretz. She has had some live-action roles in the movies The Santa Clause 2 & 3 and Cheaper By the Dozen 1 & 2, but was not widely recognized for them. Most of the time, she sticks to animated roles. Outside of Higglytown Heroes, she has also voiced main or recurring characters in Catscratch, Lilo & Stitch: The Series, American Dragon: Jake Long, Bravest Warriors, Sofia the First, and The Loud House. While The Loud House is a very popular show currently airing on Nickelodeon and a very easy paycheck for Liliana, I know she could do much better than Leni Loud, and she has before with Higglytown Heroes and Bravest Warriors - which were her only leading girl roles so far, Twinkle and Beth Tezuka. If 29-year old Liliana can act on camera even one half as well as 26-year old Chloe, then I know she can work another live-action film role or three around her schedule with The Loud House. She can do what 29-year old Karen Fukuhara did by working in Craig of the Creek and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts at the same time as Bullet Train. I know Liliana has potential to be great, if her 30-year old self has all the same charm and entertainment as her 10-year old self when she played Twinkle and Human Kimberly.

Before Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Higglytown Heroes was the most popular show on Disney Junior, and it is easy to see why. This was created and produced by Wild Brain producers George Evelyn, Holly Huckins, Denis Morella and Kent Redeker, and created and developed by Jeff Ulin. In the wake of 9/11, he wanted to create a cartoon that would teach children about everyday heroes when first responders like fire fighters were recognized as the heroes they are when they rescued loads of people from the burning World Trade Centers. September 11 celebrating firefighters for saving lives from the 9/11 terrorist attacks is what inspired him to make an animated series about everyday heroes, which I believe is why firefighters were the Higglytown Heroes of the first episode, Up a Tree. After September 11, 2001 got them started on Higglytown Heroes, it took its five co-creators 3 years to complete the whole first season and start airing the first episode. The standard formula of every Higglytown Heroes episode is that four kids and their talking pet squirrel Fran, voiced by the sweet old Edie McClurg, face an everyday situation or adventure, sing a song about something they are excited to learn about, and then they face a problem that they need a Higglytown Hero to solve. A celebrity guest hero comes in with the right occupation to help them solve that problem, and then gives a short lecture to Fran and the kids for how they can learn to be Higglytown Heroes. In the middle of every episode, Twinkle draws up a big idea that is either a silly plan to solve the problem, or an odd conspiracy theory about something else mysterious going on. The only episodes to have another character draw something for her are Eubie, Wayne and Kip in Twinkle Tooth and Pix in Twinkle's Wish.

Higglytown Heroes consists of six main characters, voiced by four kids and two adults. Of the four kids; Taylor Masamitsu voices Eubie, the tallest kid in the red, orange and yellow shirt, Frankie Ryan Manriquez voices Wayne, the boy with the glasses and the dark green overalls, Liliana Mumy voices Twinkle, the girl in the pink sparkly shirt with a picture of a duck, and Rory Charles Thost voices Kip, the shortest kid in the blue hoodie and the robot T-shirt. The other two main characters are Edie McClurg as Fran, the red squirrel who is their guide in most of their endeavors away from their parents, and Dee Bradley Baker as Pizza Guy, the friendly silly pizza delivery dude who visits them in almost every episode. The episode Say What? kind of explains why Fran is one of the few animals in HH who can talk when Kip's dog Shadow and most other animals do not; when the four kids could not talk to a girl who only speaks Spanish, Fran explains that the new girl at school speaks a different language than them. "Squirrelish" is Fran's first language, and she can communicate with English-speaking humans because she learned to speak English as a second language.

Higglytown Heroes, like Phineas and Ferb, is very formulaic, actually more formulaic than Phineas and Ferb, but what gives them rewatchable quality lies in their good directing, voice acting, and variety in humor and songs. Liliana Mumy and Dee Bradley Baker are both talented actors who have had many cartoon roles in their lives, but in my humble opinion, Twinkle and Pizza Guy from Higglytown Heroes are each one of their best roles ever because they put a lot of positive energy into voicing them, and it makes their characters very endearing and funny to watch. Twinkle and Pizza Guy are the funniest parts of the show, and the only reason to watch it if you like nothing else about HH, simply because their actors are given tons of good material to have with them and never blow it. I think Dee Bradley Baker had so much fun voicing Pizza Guy, it is in his contract to have Pizza Guy appear in almost every episode, unless Dee Baker has another character he can voice in the episode. While Pizza Guy does have some HH episodes that give him a major role in the story and he gets to appear for more than a single minute, Dee Baker has several other recurring characters to voice when Pizza Guy is not around - Uncle Zooter, Grandpop Krink, Shadow, and the Weird Beard Bunch.

As a simple preschool show, Higglytown Heroes does not demand much in the story department or the personality department, but I definitely give it credit for giving most of its main characters an entertaining personality to watch. Fran is an adorable squirrel who is normally the straight woman to the four Higgly Kids, but she also has flaws and quirks of her own, like when she causes a problem in Wayne's 100 Special Somethings and 12-Pie Abe by eating something she was not supposed to eat. Pizza Guy is always a funny man to watch in little doses. Twinkle has always been my most favorite character in Higglytown Heroes because I adore her imagination and optimism. She has a cheery colorful demeanor about her, draws up a silly solution to almost every problem, and no matter what Fran tells her for why her silly plan does not work, she never gives up on drawing new ideas. However, I actually relate more to Wayne because I also grew up as a shy kid who wears glasses and likes eating toast. Wayne and Twinkle are a very fun pair of cartoon siblings to watch onscreen because they have contrasting personalities that play well off of one another. Wayne is the shy, rational introvert and Twinkle is the outgoing, imaginative extrovert. I enjoy seeing the same sibling dynamic between cousins in a later Disney Junior show, Mira, Royal Detective. Mira is the outgoing one like Twinkle, and Priya is the shy one like Wayne. The only weak spots in the main cast of Higglytown Heroes are Eubie and Kip. While they have some different interests, since Eubie likes animals and nature and Kip likes robots and rocket science, I always viewed them as the same character with two different appearances and voices. I think Kip and Eubie were just written with the same generic nice kid personality.

It might not be easy to see how well Wayne and Twinkle function together as a brother and sister, because they appear to be just as close as siblings with their friends Eubie and Kip, even though the four kids come from three different families and homes who live in close proximity to one another. Unless you see a storyline about Twinkle going to the North Pole or Wayne getting lost, it is very rare to see the four main kids apart from one another. However, I do find it rather interesting to see the variety in families between the four kids; Eubie is the only one of the main kids to be an only child and parents are gone so he instead lives with his uncle and aunt, Wayne and Twinkle live with their mother and uncle but no father (like me!) and Kip is the only kid with a traditional family of both parents. He has a baby sister and two older sisters who are in middle or high school, which have both given HH opportunities to have storylines to which audiences in younger or older age groups than the main kids can relate. My mom is okay with Higglytown Heroes having only one girl among three boys, because Twinkle has a very entertaining personality that helps make her as memorable as the three main boys combined. However, among the three boys, I really see Wayne as the heart of the show. In fact, I think he most embodies the spirit of the show Higglytown Heroes. He does not have the same imagination for art as his sister, but they both have the same curious spirit about their world. Wayne is a shy kid who almost always fears the worst, but is also always happy to have someone special to help him and his friends through their problem.

It makes sense to me that Frankie Ryan Manriquez and Liliana Mumy got the best parts of the four Higglytown children, because they also had the most experience before this show. Frankie Ryan Manriquez was in the TV shows Life With Bonnie and That's So Raven, and I already told you about Liliana Mumy's roles in Cheaper By the Dozen and My Wife and Kids. Liliana is not as famous as Chloe yet, but she still stands out amongst her fellow child stars of Higglytown for having more name recognition through her dad Bill Mumy, and for being the only one of the four kid actors to have a regular acting career after Higglytown Heroes. Statistically, girls are more likely than boys to continue acting into adulthood because their voices change less than boys as they get older. The three boys have also gone onto their own great alternate careers in show business after HH. Rory Charles Thost makes film documentaries from around the world, Taylor Masamitsu became the CEO of Creating for Justice to allow LGBTs and people of color like himself to get into the business, and Frankie Ryan Manriquez became a musician named Band-Ade. It is nice to see that his love of singing songs stuck with him through the Higglytown Heroes years and afterwards. I liked Wayne and I wish I could get Frankie to be a voice actor again in one of my own cartoons in the future, even if he does not get to work with Liliana Mumy again. The fact that Frankie continues to sing in his post-Higglytown Heroes life means I have a better chance of getting him to voice act again than the other two main boys, since his singing career is the closest to acting out of all three of their new careers after Higglytown.

Since December 16, 2021, I have made a living on YouTube as the first person to make videos that talk about Higglytown Heroes, starting with a funny observation on how The Day The Diner Stood Still, an episode that was named after the old sci-fi film The Day The Earth Stood Still, had a double meaning to its title that gave it more in common with that movie that I thought because (spoiler alert!) everybody who avoided the diner of Gloria and Lemmo did it because they thought there were aliens there. If you are searching the internet for somebody to talk about Higglytown Heroes to you, I am just your guy. However, I have also made loads of blogs and vlogs about Spongebob Squarepants, The Patrick Star Show, Craig of the Creek, Amphibia, and many more cartoons. I have loads I want to share about Cybersix because that is easily Cathy Weseluck's best cartoon she ever did before My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Littlest Pet Shop.

Higglytown Heroes is similar to the Thunderbirds and Shazam! cartoons from when my Uncle Chris and Uncle David were kids, because they never have any Vigglytown Villains to cause the problems. The only occasion I can remember when Higglytown Heroes came close to having a Vigglytown Villain to be the Higglytown Hero's enemy was Halloween Heroes, when Lemmo told Fran and the four Higgly kids a Halloween story in which they needed a farmer to give them a giant pumpkin to be the Pumpkin King's friend so he would set Fran free. In some episodes, other adults the kids regularly see in their lives get to be the Higglytown Hero of the week. Eubie's Grandpop Krink was the hero of The Egg-cellent Adventure, Miss Fern was the hero of Wayne's Good Guesses, and Kip's Grandmama was the hero of First Snow. What made the special Valentine's Day episode extra-special was that the two non-kid main characters, Pizza Guy and Fran were the Higglytown Heroes, and I thought this episode doubled as a nice love letter to reward them for all the help they are to the four main kids and for touching our hearts as an audience.

I thought Higglytown Heroes had a passable series finale with Calling All Heroes having all of the heroes the kids, Fran and Pizza Guy met in the previous 64 episodes come together to help them out after a big rainstorm on Wayne's birthday. The only disappointment I had for the ending of Higglytown Heroes is that it never ended with any of the kids working real hard to be heroes just like every other hero to which they sing that message in almost every episode. After Twinkle's Wish had Pix do a work-around for the problem Fran told him in the silly idea he drew up when Twinkle was not there to do it, and Pix got to be the Higglytown Hero of Twinkle's Wish, I wished that Higglytown Heroes would end with Twinkle doing the same and become a Higglytown Hero when she fixes a hole in one of her silly ideas. My mom explained to me why it would go against the vision of the show to have one of the kids learn to be a Higglytown Hero, but I still think it could work as a spectacular final episode, to have Twinkle be a hero with a good execution of one of her silly ideas and give the other three boys hope that they can also be a hero like her.

The Gravity Falls 2013 Comic-Con had Kristen Schaal, Jason Ritter, Alex Hirsch and Matt Chapman read a short script Alex Hirsch probably wrote about the Pines family and Soos going to a Comic-Con. It inspired me to write a script like that for Higglytown Heroes to reunite the cast in 2024 and have Twinkle become a Higglytown Hero by creating a search engine to restore polar ice caps in the same way that Ecosia restores trees. I scheduled the filming for April 16, 2024 in Los Angeles to celebrate Liliana's 30th birthday and coincide with Earth Day six days later, so I need to make enough money from views on this blog and my YouTube channel to pay for the trip in April, and maybe another trip in June for the 2024 Summer Olympics. The video of my Earth Day reunion script will be a live chat to raise funds for restoring glaciers and be posted on Wild Brain's channel, or the home channel of Bill & Liliana Mumy on April 20 through 22, 2024. Anyone who runs the YouTube channel of a professional production company, or an actor with a YouTube channel that is already years old would know how to raise funds with a live stream much better than I do because they already have more subscribers and experience with the job, even if they never tried to do a livestream with super chats before now. While Edie McClurg, Dee Bradley Baker and the rest of the regular adult cast of HH who have characters in my script are still alive today and will likely live to read it in 2024, I need a new round of five kids to voice the four main Higglytown kids, plus Kip's older and younger sisters since his older sisters are a big part of the story.

My 20th anniversary reunion/Earth Day special reunion of Higglytown Heroes, should Liliana Mumy's agent and the president of Wild Brain and Happy Nest choose to accept my pitch, will be the finale that Higglytown Heroes deserved but never got to have in 2007. Even though there will be another kid voicing Twinkle who is 20 years younger than Liliana, I will still allow Liliana to do Twinkle's singing parts so she can sing "I'm a Higglytown Hero, brave and true" at the end, and give her another big part in the story to voice. The other big last-episode event that my Higglytown Heroes mini-scene will have in addition to the kids, Fran and Pizza Guy celebrating Twinkle graduating to a hero-in-training, is to reunite Twinkle and Wayne with their dad when his computer business in Higgly City is exactly what they need to launch the Cap-Ice search engine. I might even get Liliana's real dad, Bill Mumy to do his voice, so they can both sing the Higglytown Heroes song.

I am not the only person to write a blog post on Higglytown Heroes, but I have set the record for the most comprehensive post on the whole show. To reward you kids for making it this far, I will give you a free sneak preview list of new actors I have in mind to voice all the HH kids. I originally chose them on December 28, 2021, but a lot can change in two years if I need to find a new assortment of kids by then, and I did not originally know of them because they started making a name for themselves in a new animated series two years after I originally wrote this script.

New actor key: 2004 = 2024

Frankie Ryan Manriquez = Jakari Fraser as Wayne

Liliana Mumy = Amari McCoy as Twinkle

Taylor Masamitsu = Gracen Newton as Eubie

Rory Charles Thost = Maximus Riegel as Kip

Gayla Goehl/Lara Jill Miller = Grace Rolek as Tini and Wiki

Grown-up actors from the original series I want to invite to the table read to reprise their characters one more time are Edie McClurg as Fran, Dee Bradley Baker as Pizza Guy, Anne Heche as Gloria, Kevin Michael Richardson as Wayne and Twinkle's Uncle Lemmo, Jamie-Lynn Sigler as Miss Fern, and Alana Ubach as Wayne and Twinkle's Mother Plunkie.

To end this blog post, I will ask: Do you want me to reunite the cast of Higglytown Heroes one-time-only so they can tell my story about Twinkle becoming a hero and saving Earth from global warming with one of her imaginative, far-fetched artistic ideas? That wild brain of hers can take Twinkle a long way.

What is the difference between a blog and a vlog?

 

I am back! I am here to explain the difference between a blog and a vlog. Both are logs in which you can explore various topics for your audience to read. A blog is a webpage and a vlog is a video log. I have made an excess of YouTube vlogs during the 2021-2022 television season, and while I definitely have plans to make more in the future, because I want to review more episodes and films every Saturday for the 2022-2023 season, I decided to make less vlogs going forward and make blog posts about topics that do not need a full video because they would be less interesting to hear about as a vlog post than a blog post. It is much easier to write a blog post when I can actually think things through, than to come up with what to say on the spot in real time for a vlog post. I see other people writing blogs about various things, and then I realize I can make money from views on blogs for interesting subjects people want to hear about as much as I can make money from views on YouTube videos I make.

The link to my YouTube channel is here. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxQEVa9ZGj82dhEJNn-y-ng/videos

I still have plans in the future to write Screenrant-type blog posts about those ten cartoons I mentioned in my previous post, and I hope they get a lot of views in the year after I post them, but for now I just want to focus on...

1. Sharing my thoughts and feelings about Higglytown Heroes in a simple manner which will be easier to get my thoughts out than an entire 22-minute video
2. Listing some good, little-known cartoons where you may have seen the main voice actors of Friendship is Magic and Littlest Pet Shop before 2010
3. Writing blog posts for ten book series for kids that I have read and want to encourage other people to read
4. My initial thoughts about Big Mouth, Central Park, Family Guy and The Simpsons getting new voice actors of color in 2020 and how I applied that knowledge to ChalkZone, Steven Universe, Star vs. the Forces of Evil and OK KO: Let's Be Heroes
5. Rank every modern English-language late night talk show still going in 2020-2021 by which are most to least like The Patrick Star Show's brand of humor (I am very partial to Seth Meyers)

The reason why I rarely make any blog posts is because I have been very busy with school and college, and even in my free time, I usually just catch up on films and television shows I want to watch or walk to interesting places or make my own YouTube videos and write scripts instead of writing blog posts because I never actually saw the potential for blog viewership before now, like I did with YouTube. Since I only had 176 subscribers on YouTube when I made this post, I can certainly put in the time for new blog posts. I am sorry for having no activity on this blog in 1 1/2 years. I can keep adding new characters to the Prometheus School of R.A.F.T.s if I pay attention to such running scenes in any film or television I watch. My Screenrant-type posts are things I will only have time to finish if I do them once a month - which is also the bare minimum amount of new YouTube content I would make if I was busy with offline things when I devoted my time to scriptwriting, or wanted to play online games based on my favorite cartoons because I wanted a break from all of the online work of posting new videos and blog pages.

List of every VeggieTales episode/DVD

Every VeggieTales episode/DVD across 20 years

VeggieTales is a long-running direct-to-DVD video series by Big Idea. When I first watched them back in 2003, I was kind of expecting to see a full movie, but most of them were stories you could fit into 1 or 2 episodes of TV, which is something VeggieTales actually did from September 9, 2006 to March 22, 2008. 21 videos had their stories broadcast on TV in 28 episodes, from Are You My Neighbor to Moe and the Big Exit, plus 2 Auto-tainment songs. The only movies in between that did not make it are The Star of Christmas and Lord of the Beans. There are two VeggieTales movies that were a movie-length story shown in theaters with no countertop scenes or silly songs in between - Jonah and The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. Most earlier VeggieTales videos are 30 minutes minimum. You can watch 31 minutes of commercial-free content. This is also true of The VeggieTales Show's The Best Christmas Gift when the other episodes are all 23 minutes.

VeggieTales makes 2 or 3 films/movies/videos a year, or 6 half-hour episodes. If a VeggieTales video is over 38 minutes (minus the theme song), I would make that 2 episodes. Esther the Girl Who Became Queen and A Snoodle's Tale are a gray area to me. Esther, which has no theme song was cut down from 36 minutes to 18 minutes on TV, and A Snoodle's Tale, which is also 36 minutes without the theme song, had 2 stories and which were both their own separate episode on TV. There are 46 videos in 20 years, but how many episodes total are there when you make 2 out of some of them? How many more will equate to 100 half-hours?

In total, VeggieTales has 76 half-hour episodes in 46 different direct-to-video movies. I am still waiting on Lisa Vischer to write or direct a batch of her own VeggieTales videos. I wrote a letter to her asking if she would be interested in writing any videos or episodes of The VeggieTales Show. I have not heard back from her yet, but that would be great if she said yes. If she and new The VeggieTales Show writer Sean Gaffney each wrote 7, we would finally have 60 VeggieTales videos! I would also be kind of fascinated by a VeggieTales video with such a long story that it ran for 1 whole hour, including the 4 minutes of end credits. The closest thing right now is Beauty and the Beet, which was off by 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

Coming up next: 10 Screenrant-type articles that I will post every weekday for 2 weeks! These are about the subjects of shows that may be a bit too obscure for ScreenRant, but things they would write and have done for other programs like Spongebob Squarepants and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

1. 5 times Lisa Junior Asparagus from VeggieTales was a great kid (and 5 times he was terrible)

2. 5 reasons Candace Flynn from Phineas and Ferb is a bad sister (and 5 reasons she is amazing)

3. 5 reasons Connie Mahareswan is the best girlfriend for Steven Universe (and 5 reasons it's Amethyst)

4. 5 features that make All Grown Up a worthy successor to Rugrats (and 5 features that make it unworthy)

5. 5 times Rainbow Dash from Friendship is Magic was the most loyal friend (and 5 times she was not)

6. 5 cartoon reboots of the 2010s that sucked (and 5 2010s reboots that were awesome)

7. 5 reasons Bubbles is the sweetest character on The Powerpuff Girls (and 5 reasons she is the most hardcore)

8. 5 reasons Wander is your best friend (and 5 reasons he is your worst friend)

9. 5 reasons Phineas and Ferb should continue in school (and 5 reasons why it shouldn't)

10. 5 Admirable Animation reviews that still hold up (and 5 reviews that aged poorly)

June 4, 2022 update: I will have to remember a lot of cartoon shows and episodes I watched to type all of this stuff out. Even if I do rewatch all of these cartoons to create these posts one day, it would be impossible for me to do it in two weeks. I would have a much better chance of making one blog post every month or two.

Top 10 Prometheus Running Away scenes

Some Prometheus School of Running Away From Things scenes are short, and some Prometheus School of Running Away From Things scenes are long. But some are great for their own unique reasons and that's why they got to be in the Top 10. Here they are!

10. Mateo Fernando Aquino Liwanag

running away from a forklift in

Superstore: Secret Shopper (2016)

How does a live-action TV comedy

have someone running away from

things in a straight line without the

big budget that action movies and

shows have and the ability to do

outlandish things that cartoons would

normally do? Well, this episode of

Superstore managed to handle that in

a very comedic way. After Jonah

tries to help Amy get more of Nosey the Anteater in the storage room when she's trying to

figure out how to work a new forklift since they keep improving it with controls that she

doesn't know how to use, she accidentally makes the whole shelf fall over. Amy and Jonah

lay down in the plush toys and talk for a while before Amy looks up at the shelves and says

that it could have fallen by itself because the bolts are very rusty. Jonah agrees with Amy

and he gets up and accidentally moves a lever on the forklift that makes it move. It was

very funny how Mateo reacted to the forklift coming towards him and freaked out, yelling

at everyone to get out of the way and knocking over the secret shopper. It also showed me

how much potential Nico Santos has at being a comedic actor in his own right even though

his first acting role that wasn't as himself was in 2014.

9. Ludlow Lamonsoff running away

from Pac-Man in Pixels (2015)

It was very impressive to see video

games come to life and having to

fight them to save the world, but it

was also an amazing twist when

Pac-Man turned out to be a bad guy

and flipping the perspective of the

Pac-Man game. Even Chistopher

Carr from imdb actually gave this

a 10/10 because he liked how each

video game was parodied the right

amount. It was even more impressive

that they actually got to make a

Prometheus Running Away scene out

of Pac-Man that I actually saw
coming (as with the forklift from #10.)
It was really hilarious to see Josh Gad doing stuff like this and he said some very funny lines that made  this running scene so comedic like "I don't want to die a virgin!" and "You've been brainwashed! You're a good boy!" and when Kevin James (who plays Will Cooper) said "Ludlow, run! Pump your legs!" and when Peter Dinklage (who plays Eddie Plant) drove his car into the Pac-Man and said "You just got fireblasted!" I'm glad that even Adam Sandler had a Prometheus Running Away scene in one of his movies and made it really funny, especially since Josh Gad is a comedian himself.

8. Indiana Jones running away from

a boulder in Indiana Jones and the

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

What an awesome way to start off a
great movie! After Indiana Jones gets
the golden statue, it triggers a boulder
trap to stop anyone from literally
getting away with stealing the golden
statue. What made this scene really
awesome that wasn't in other things
that imitated it, such as Toy Story,
Drawn Together, Steven Universe, Total Drama: The Ridonculous Race and The Goldbergs is that Indiana Jones had to race against the boulder to make it to the exit of the cave first to avoid getting trapped in.



7. Alex Browning running away from
from a tree in Final Destination (2000)

What better movie to have a Prometheus running scene
than a horror movie about cheating death? Alex
Browning didn't quite outrun the tree, but he still
managed to make it out alive and avoid being drowned
in a mud puddle. Having the power to make that sort
of comeback and keep going on to save his girlfriend
Clear Rivers is what makes this a Top 10 for me.



6. Gordie Lachance, Chris Chambers,
Teddy Duchamp and Vern Tessio
running away from a train in Stand By
Me (1986)

The train scene was awesome and it
was a real life-or-death challenge for
these 4 kids in 1959 even more than
the tree was for Alex Browning in
2000. There's nowhere to run to the
side, and the stakes in this running
scene alone have been raised above the previous bottom 4. If you don't make it to the end of the train tracks, you have to jump in the water or on the land at the end next to the water.

5. Thomas and Minho running

away from a Griever in The

Maze Runner (2014)

How cool was it when Thomas

and Minho ran away from a

giant robot spider in a straight

line when also having to avoid

getting crushed by the closing

wall part of the maze? That's 2
deadly things to escape at once!

4. Kevin, Stuart and Bob running

away from English castle guards

in Minions (2015)

It was so awesome to see those
minions have so many things
from which to run away and how
they managed to handle them!
Even running straight, they managed
to avoid a guy in a spiky ball suit
who was rolling diagonally and after
they hid in a phone booth where it
turned out that there was a guy with
a chainsaw, they all ran out and
cleverly avoided a tripwire while making everyone else who was chasing them trip on it.

3. Harry Potter, Ron
Weasley, Hermione
Granger, Neville
Longbottom, Ginny
Weasley and Luna
Lovegood running

away from falling
shelves of crystal
balls in Harry Potter

and the Order of the
Phoenix (2007)

What running away
scene could be cooler than the domino effect? In this movie, Harry Potter and his friends fight Death Eaters until Ginny casts a spell to blast one of the Death Eaters as far away as possible, but then it causes the shelves of Crystal Ball prophecies to fall over like dominoes. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny, and Luna all run away from the shelves and they go to the side, but the shelves are also falling in that direction as well. Luckily, they all managed to make it to the emergency exit and escaped the crystal ball shelves. It's very challenging to outrun the domino effect.

2. Star Butterfly running away from

pirate-dressed waiters in a shopping

cart down a slope over a bus in Star

vs. the Forces of Evil: The Banagic

Incident (2015)

Do you know what was so amazing

about this scene? Star Butterfly had

2 different sets of things to run away

from in both opposite directions

towards her while sliding down in one direction in a shopping cart. Since she had magic
on her side, it was a real lifesaver for her to blast herself over the bus by making horse legs
come out of the road while getting chased by the angry pirate-costumed waiters.

1. Joe Lamb, Cary and Charles

Kaznyk running away from a train

in Super 8 (2011)

Why is this the best Prometheus

Running scene yet? Because there

was so much debris from which to

run away! It was especially

awesome when train cars kept

hitting one another and made one

of the train cars land in front of

Joe, Cary and Charles. Stuff kept
blowing up all around and it was
very hard to avoid. Those kids were very lucky to survive. I think that this movie made really great use of their 50 million-dollar budget. They probably spent at least half of it on the train crash alone!
