For many kids of the ‘90s, the best toons were Nicktoons. Rugrats, Doug (before Disney took it down way too many pegs), Aaahh!! Real Monsters, CatDog. While all of these were great and complemented Nickelodeon’s even superior live action series at the time, there was no greater animated series that touched closer to home for some than Hey Arnold!

Best Geeky Finds – Baymax Returns with Power
His story may have been a bit like Batman, but the story was all Marvel. After Hiro Hamada’s brother Tadashi dies in an explosion caused by an evil scientific mastermind, he uses his brother’s large inflatable health aid and his friends to fight crime and find the kabuki mask-wearing villain. That’s what happened in 2014 in Disney’s blockbuster Big Hero 6. Now, in the semi-minimalist animation style of their recent movie and series comebacks, Disney XD brings back these familiar characters. Continue reading Best Geeky Finds – Baymax Returns with Power

But I kept hearing about an irreverent cartoon involving a mad scientist, his grandson and interdimensional space travel. Add to that the fact that it’s most definitely for adults and I had to give it a shot. Continue reading She Geek Critique – Get Schwifty in Here
Best Geeky Finds – Will We Wait an Infinity?
Sometimes an animated series comes around that is beyond perfect. Two years ago, this series for me was Gravity Falls. This year the series was actually too good to be true. In fact, it turns out it may not be true. This series is Infinity Train. Continue reading Best Geeky Finds – Will We Wait an Infinity?
