He says the characters are well-realized & highly, highly recommends it. Duncan followed, saying that the show was so good that he would forget it was animated & it's definitely worth watching. Lisa also commented that she liked the episodes & the different ways in which they were presented Craig reviewed 'Spy x Family' on Hulu as animated & a fun series. He highly recommends it & Robin followed on, saying that if you aren't subscribed that shows on Hulu are laden heavily with ads & he reviewed 'Klaus', a Christmas-y-themed Scandinavian animation on Netflix, as he really enjoyed it & thought it fun Gerry reviewed 'Avatar 2, the Way of Water' as the 3D was excellent & seamless & 'gave depth' especially in the underwater scenes, but considers the start of the movie a bit confused & felt the gun battles were interminable. He felt it was wholly unrealistic to have a military force fail so spectacularly in fights against natives armed with spears & arrow - plus the phrase 'Go, go, go' was over-used. He rates it as worth matinee. Gayle followed, saying that she hasn't seen the first 'Avatar', but loved the effects & the 3D & enjoyed the movie overall. Craig followed, saying that he wears glasses & has issues with 3D & has not yet seen the movie due to this & his desire to avoid a headache. Kennita also saw the movie in 3D and thought it looked astounding, although she felt the movie was too long & could have used some editing we adjourned at 8:52pm and the rumor of the week was = 'Given these storms, the way of water may come to you without a video!' -- ******************* She/whispered/'Oh/my/goodness/what/are/all/these/squirrels/doing/here?' melc...@gmail.com *******************
