Monster by Mistake

I'm fourteen and I liked this show because of the way they do the animation. It has a different plot than a lot of other kids shows and I definitely recommend watching it. I don't usually watch shows like this, but I really find it interesting the way everything comes together. I read that it takes over two months to make one show, and I think that it would be really hard to create something such as animation. It seems like they kind of slowed down in the third season though, the animation gets a little weird and even though it's still really interesting, it's not as fun to watch as the first two seasons. I still think the overall idea of the show is pretty cool and definitely worth watching.

I have read the reviews for this show, and most of them are complaints of the animation. What these people don't realize is that Monster by Mistake is one of the world's first fully CGI animated TV shows, meaning that it ,of course, won't have greatly advanced animation by today's standards. Back in 1996, fully computer animated shows were revolutionary, and these people need to realize that at the time, they didn't have the advanced technology they have today. If it wasn't for shows like Monster by Mistake and Reboot, The US would have not at all or been late to create it's popular CGI shows today, such as Jimmy Neutron and Penguins of Madagascar. Yes show's plot is kind of lame, but this show is not just about a boy sneezing and turning into a monster. It is about a boy who has had this curse put on him by some douche wizard, and he learned to use this curse to help him solve mysteries. This sends a great message of optimism and always trying to make the the best out of a bad situation. This is exactly what the protagonist did.

One of the best early 3D animated TV show for kids

Now I am no longer a kid, but I must admit that I still enjoy watching "Monster by Mistake" almost every day at 9:30am on YTV in Canada. Warren is an 8 year old boy, who after getting in the way of a magic spell, turns into a 7' blue monster every time he sneezes. This "secret" of his gets him and his sister Tracy into all kinds of adventures.

The plot times are fairly simple, but then after all, it is a kids show. The shows are generally educational in nature, because they teach kids some simple things about life. Some of the themes covered have included: sibling rivalry, working together, sharing etc. I kind of like it, because when I was a kid, I always liked fantasy, magic spells and strange lands (like Benrap -- or is it Fenrap?).

I highly recommend it to parents out there, who are looking for some clean family friendly television programming. It's better than most of the shows on YTV, at least, in my opinion.

Basically revolving around a boy and his sneezing, this show consists of awful dialogue, animation and the jokes are mostly puns. It lacks emotion. Almost every episode is basically the same.

Don't watch it.
