The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish

I love the new art style it reminds me of the Peanuts Movie. The reboot did a pretty good job being true to the original while still doing its own thing. In this new version, Cosmo and Wanda have a new Godkid and it takes place in the future. I prefer the original but this is a worthy reboot. It's pretty funny so I would recommend checking it out. My man Poof had better appear he is one of my favorite characters. I also hope they show the whereabouts of what happened to other characters from the original. What happened to Chloe, What happened to Sparky, What happened to Chester, What happened to AJ, What happened to Vicky, What Happened to Tootie, What happened to Darth Lazer, etc.

I've watched the original show back when I was a kid. So when I heard about this new sequel series, I had to see for myself. To not spoil anything, here's how I sum it up. Not only did the nostalgia hit hard for me with all the callbacks and cameos but every little story made me care about the new godkid's growth and you really get to see her learning life lessons through such entertaining and touching moments.

Admittedly, I stopped watching the original series sometime around season 7ish after high school, but seeing this show is now making me want to go back and binge the original from the beginning. I hope this new series get renewed for a second season.

Legitimately surprised with how this one turned out. Its miles better than the final couple seasons of the fairly oddparents. The problem with the original show is that the studio kept dragging it out for WAY too long, running it into the ground so hard that by the time it ended, pretty much everyone involved (from the animators, to the writers, to the voice actors) werent even trying anymore. And when i went into this show i was just worried it was going to be a continuation of that, but no, they gave it a well needed new coat of paint.

For one thing the returning characters arent flanderized as heck in this one, cosmo isnt a complete braindead moron and wanda isnt a condescending nag. Theres also a good amount of callbacks to the original series which actually served a purpose, and the writing quality is really improved.

Another thing they improved upon the show is how they managed to flush out characters that the original series would have just pushed to the side. Like hazels parents for example, they could have easily just made them generic parent stereotypes like timmys parents were, but no, they actually have personalities this time around. The writing isnt lazy or cheap, in the original series the writers pretty much gave up following the shows rules by the end of it, and its nice to have writers that actually care this time around

also the animation, oh man the animation is good. Its highly stylized 3D animation that imitates 2D, and its done surprisingly well. Like i expect a level of quality like this in a movie, this is probably the first ever tv show to have a "spider verse" level of stylization. I also like how they occasionally bring in the old 2D style and integrate it seamlessly with the modern animation style. No idea how they have the budget for this, but im impressed.

Its not bad, it really is. Its a good idea being taken in the right direction for once.

Now, I know a lot of people had low expectations about this show seeing all the previous failures of FOP but this show is actually not that bad if you give it a chance!

First the animation/art style It's stylized to a degree but it can look a little bland in some scenes, but the animation is great overall with snappy movements.

As for the new character Hazel, shes a breath of fresh air for the FOP series, she's different from Timmy so its fun to see what she would do compared to Timmy. I see alot of people are upset that Timmy has been 'replaced' but it was about time we got a new MC who does things differently to Timmy.

As for Cosmo and Wanda they kinda revert to their season 1 personalities being 2 goofy idiots and I'm here for it!

Episodes wise I found myself laughing at some jokes here and there and some scenes captures the charm to the original show. Although because of modern writing there were some parts that were kinda cringe but its understandable seeing this is meant for a new gen.

Overall its a decent cute show that you should give a chance and I hope this gen can grow up with this FOP reboot.

Look, I get it. People are really piling on this show with negative reviews. But come on, it's gone too far now. You all are hating on it way more than it deserves. Sure, maybe it's not quite as amazing as the original series. That doesn't mean it's terrible though. The way some folks are talking, you'd think this new show personally insulted them or something. It's just a show meant for kids, not the end of the world! I've been reading through so many reviews, and honestly, a lot of them don't make any sense to me. It feels like people decided they were going to hate it before they even watched it. They're nitpicking every little thing and blowing the good proportion of the show away. Like, are we even watching the same show here? I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's nowhere near as bad as these reviews are making it out to be. Some people are getting mad about the tiniest details that don't even matter. Who cares if a character's hair is different or if the character is black. That stuff isn't what makes or breaks a show. On less they pull the same writing as Velma. Nothing will ever be exactly like the og show, but that doesn't mean new things should be automatically bad.
