At first I was intrigued when I saw the posters advertising the show. Stop-motion animation on TV?
I found what it's like being alone to be a creepily hilarious and hilariously creepy. Claymation as used in the show is beautiful and visually stimulating.
A wondrous and fiendishly humorous stop-motion animation series about freak orphans who are desperately trying to get adopted. They must have had a crack writing team.
Though there's not much in the way of a plot, this show does have a certain goth charm to it as well as a few funny moments. The main characters are hapless children at an orphanage that would be considered freaks by society- a drunken fish-boy, a young man with one huge eye and no mouth, a goth, you name it.
Those poor, poor animators and production designers on this show. They knocked themselves out on this really terrible effort from third-rate Tim Burton rip-off Brad Peyton.
I'm astounded that a show this bad could have made it on a major network. It would have been rejected as a cable access program.
Loved it! I 100% adored this.
I stumbled on this show much later... I wasn't sure what it was about but thought I'd give it a try.
I first saw this show when a friend sent me a text message saying turn to channel 3 (the CBC). Now, i normally don't watch this channel, it is usually quite boring (except for the Simpson's's at supper-time!
