    The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

    Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

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

    Now, for the most part, even the most appreciative of the talking picture and the cathode ray tube get's tired of a companies works after a while, and Disney, despite it's former grandeur, is no exception. This was a refreshing show, and it is nice to see that the company is making some fresh plots worth seeing. The animation style itself is nice and sharp and the characters are good.Cornelius Fillmore is a once delinquent now good guy working with his partner in anti-crime Ingrid Third to solve mysteries at X Middle School, a state of the art establishment that's unfortunately (though fortunately for us, the viewers), teeming with young criminals and crimes to their names.The plots are true to the 'mystery' style, but full of action. The opening credits are nice, and the overall show fairly good. I can sense a movie in the air but don't know whether that'll happen, but this is all in all a good watch.Also, i like the way that the one time rebels own lives get intertwined in the plot. This is a nice change for Disney, and i hope to see more plots that go deeper than a millimeter soon. Nine stars.

    Disney's Fillmore! is a wonderfully written cartoon series, spoofing the 70s cop show genre. Set in X Middle School, the show's main character is Cornelius Fillmore - a former juvenile delinquent turned safety patroller. Fillmore is ably assisted by his partner Ingrid Third, a sardonic genius with an eidetic memory. The show slyly pastiches all manner of generic clichés: the duo ultimately report into school principal Folsom, a politician-type obsessed with her own image; Fillmore himself is the maverick detective, who breaks the rules to get what's done, while Third is his rational, Scully-esquire partner. And the movie and cultural references flow thick and fast - in one episode Fillmore and Third rely on help from a Hannibal Lecter-like graffiti artist. In another, they go undercover to infiltrate a scooter-thief gang with a task very similar to Gone In 60 Seconds.Fillmore! only lasted two seasons before cancellation, and while the quality of the show is apparent, it is also easy to see why it didn't get renewed. This is a kids show, but the best aspects of the writing are probably too obscure to hit their targets, many of who will not even be aware that the show is supposed to be a spoof. As an adult, it is easy to appreciate the subtle humour, but the show isn't mature enough to appeal fully to adults.

    This show probably would be funny on it's own, but as a kid growing up in the 70s and Quinn Martin Productions, this show is hilarious. From the onslaught of punnery to the running sports team jokes (X middle school never had a basketball or football team, but I do remember them in a Bocci ball field and miniature golf tournament). It was the tongue-in- cheek detail (a papier-mache volcano in the science fair named Mt. Cliché) as well as the mock seriousness of the crime that really made the show so enjoyable. It even had a killer opening montage, closing with unmanned bikes flying over a cliff ala Mannix.The characters are great, every fundamental of a 70x cop show was met with certain beautiful overkill, Chief (no-first-name) Vallejo, as well as the forensic and investigative members with the comic relief (a cartoon with a comic relief character) of O'Farrell. It even had mayor in the principal of X Middle School voiced by Wendy Malick. I loved her on this show, her biting, witty threats were hilarious.If anyone ever finds out this show is being released on DVD, iTunes or Google, please let me know. Or if you can find Scott Gimple's email addy. I just want to tell him how much I enjoyed his work and how can I get it.

    Changed my mind completely, it had a similarity to Recess, where it is a school which has exaggerated days, basically it is about two people, detectives of their school. A black guy called Cornelis Fillmore, and a white girl called Ingrid Third, both 7th graders in X middle school and both were troublemakers, Fillmore was considered best in the game, but both of them went straight and both later joined the Safety Patrol, together they solve crimes which happen during the day. But it is like old 70's cop shows, a lot of stolen money becomes in the cartoon money which is made by candy manufactures to buy many kid things, £10000 of it gets stolen, or who steals the worlds oldest tamagotchi since it has been taken hostage. It has comedy and action. And to hear that Disney animation was no longer making this was a shame, it was a good cartoon.
