From my favorite movies..

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Some of the reviews on here are just ridiculous. Many people are saying "the show is setting a bad example, It's showing that it's best to lie." Clearly they haven't watched the full season because in the end it teaches us that lies are no good and it is best to tell the truth. Also 'Dog With A Blog' is a show about kids lying to their parents about their talking dog. I also see people say that the show is unrealistic however, the relationships are complicated which creates realistic characters unlike 'Shake It Up' when they hate each other and then love each other the next day. Also again 'Dog With A Blog' a talking dog really? That's realistic? Also 'Jessie'. What kind of kids drag a complete stranger into their house and then demand them to be their nanny??!?! that's teaching a good example? All soap operas have a bit of lying involved otherwise the show wouldn't be interesting. And don't get me started on people's comments about "bad dubbing". They're two completely different languages. How on earth do you expect it to be perfect? Be grateful because many other countries have to put up with dubbed English Disney shows. Some don't even get them dubbed. We only have one which is actually an incredible show with an amazing story line and probably one of the best Disney shows.

Violetta is a great show if you love drama, love triangles, and most importantly music. It is really inspiring for young musicians and though many people say that they cannot sing and dance, it really depends. I must admit that the English dubbing isn't very good and can get pretty annoying but you do not have to watch it in English! You can watch it in Spanish and use the captions! Also,many people are saying that it's a terrible message because of the lying but I really don't know what they are talking about. Yes, violetta lies a lot but its not like she gets away with it. Throughout the whole show, Violetta learns that nothing good comes from lying. I would recommend this show for kids 8+ because younger children might not understand the lying and might get confused with the busy story line. This is one of my favorite shows because in every episode there is music! Vioketta reaches children about consequences, friendship, love, and family. I don't know why everyone hates in it. Maybe the dub? But anyway this is a great show so check it out!

I started watching Violetta over the summer, just to have something to watch while I am doodling or doing administrative things that don't require my full attention. I must admit that I kind of enjoy these shows. It's a telenovela, each show lasts 40 minutes or longer and there are 80 or more episodes each season. I prefer shows that are longer and have more content, although in Violetta it is sometimes redundant. Apart from that, the actors are all okay to good looking and the acting is pretty standard for Disney. I would not recommend watching the English dub, it's horrible. English dub's are generally more terrible and I hate the fact that they dub the songs too. Now to some more negative points: I HATE the fact they introduce(!) a show with plot holes. We don't really find out how old Violetta is and they never answer the question what kind of institution the Studio is. Is it a music school or a Conservatory? If it is so expensive, how can Violetta enroll and pay tuition without her control-freak father finding out about that? Do the other people there go to school? Their lives seem to be centered around the studio. How old are they? I find it pretty delusional about life as the writers seem to be incapable of including such substantial information.Also, I abhor Ludmilla. Some of the things she does are outright illegal, I don't understand why she never gets punished. Moreover, she claims to be the best singer and she is considered one of the best singers in the studio, but her voice is actually pretty weak in comparison to Camilla's voice and her singing is perceived as underaverage.Speaking of music, in the show the characters are not only constantly lying to each other but also to us. Everyone thinks Violetta is the best singer. I mean, she is really pretty and has star qualities, but she is by far not the best singer. Her intonation is often far off and she only has a limited and low register. Moreover, whenever Leon is playing the piano, Violetta goes: "Oh my goad you are a wonderful pianist", even if he is just playing four chords that any beginner can play. It is even worse when Violetta plays the piano, because she seems to think that it requires lifting up her shoulders, it looks so fake. I just don't understand why they can't do a basic "How to look like you are actually playing an instrument" when all the actors are "playing" an instrument in every episode. And sometimes they are rehearsing with instruments that you cannot hear, which I find rather interesting.I just think the writers/directors should not try to convey that they are talented by constantly putting it into the script, but by actually choosing talented people. No offense, but it feels like they are manipulating us to think like it is good. Some actors are very good singers and performers.In summa, make your own picture of Violetta. I like that it is musicy and encourages people to follow their dreams, I just wish there weren't as many plot holes. There is a lot more, but I am too lazy to rant on.Have fun.

This must be a joke. The really bad English dubbing, where many voices does not match the characters, but the worst it, the really really awful job of lip syncing, there isn't no synchronizing, a new low for Disney Channel wouldn't and does not match the usual quality to put this on their channel.Maybe if the voices matched the mouths I might be able to watch it, maybe even enjoy it but as it is now it's so awful I can't bare to watch it! Disney Channel should really taking this down and forgetting it ever existed..Don't watch it, absolutely terrible!!
