Admirable film.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Blistering performances.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

"My name is Angela, hey hello, welcome to my very own show. I'll introduce my friends to you. Oh no it's Ninny Pooh. Shooby shooby, doo, wha, wha! My name is Angela and you are not Nannette Manoire. You stuck up, snot faced, snot. Welcome to my show, starring me and not starring Nannette Manoire."This show was one of my guilty little pleasures but I can't say much about the content of this show since it's really a children's show. I think it's okay for children and some adults if they can stomach Angela's voice. I also have to say that if your kids like this show then fine and if they don't then that's okay too. It has your typical grade school stuff in it, kids trying to see just exactly where they fit in. Nannette Manoire is your typical, thinks she's better than everyone else, rich, spoiled little brat with her small circle of friends. Angela Anaconda's family is a little less fortunate than Nannette Manoire's family but they have each other.

The animation on this show will differ from what you normally see,it's like real peoples faces(which they are)plasted on body parts and then animated.The episodes will normally revolve around Angel and her friends wanting to do one thing while teachers pet Nannette and her friends(who she most likely bought)will want to do another,being the teachers pet she is Nanette gets her way and Angel will get her revenge(using her imagination of course).The characters are all pretty stereotypical,Italians,smart kids,chubby kids,biased teachers,spoilt brats.....although there not anything new they'll stay in the background until there needed.The show it self varies but can get old once they use the same plot over but in a new scenario but it is still genuinely enjoyable most of the time.The shows producer Sue Rose knocks up another childish yet fun show(her last being Pepper Anne),she also voices Angela Anaconda(some will be surprised to hear Sue Rose actually does sound like that and she doesn't have to talk deeply or such when voicing Angela because that is her voice,but I doubt she says "....On account of" so much).This can't really be seen as educational,at times they try and be all religious and such by telling the story behind certain religions (Christmas,Hanukah),but this can become tiresome after awhile still the show can be enjoyed by all ages.

This show is truly revolting. The voices are annoying, as are the characters, the animation sucks and it's not even close to Terry Gilliam's animation style. The animation is so bad that it makes South Parks's look advanced. Plus i have seen stereotypes of catholics, italians, and nerdy people on different occasions. Shameful how some shows make fun of other religions, nationalities, and the way people are. Is this a good message to send to viewers? Especially little kids? Shame on ABC Family for keeping this crap on for so long with such things on it! When it's all put together, this message tells you that this show sucks!!!

It's a typical school story series, but, what sets it apart is its bizarrely humorous scripts and, especially, its visuals. Borrowing heavily from the Terry Gilliam animation style, no one moves in 3 dimensions! It's like a world inhabited by humanoid crabs. Photos digitally (I'm guessing.) manipulated make up the cast. So, it's entirely possible that everyone we see is the actual voice being used. Regardless, this blend of the real with the sublime sets the style of the series, and that visual execution is what is most superb about it. In short, in today's dreg of children's series, Angela is welcomingly refreshing. Adults will probably like it more. (I'm 26.)
