5.0 out of 5 stars
Undeservedly unknown, January 20, 2007
This review is from: As Told By Ginger - The Wedding Frame / As Told By Ginger - Far From Home (DVD)
As Told By Ginger is one Nickelodeon's lesser known Nicktoons. Yet it combines some of the finest animation from the Klasky-Csupo studios (Rugrats, All Grown Up) with often clever writing from the independent series creator Emily Kapnek. ATBG gives a fresh take on the classic 'girl-in-junior-high' theme.
With this package you get two of the series tv-movies (aka Nickflicks) and a few episodes from the first season. Of the two, 'The Wedding Frame' is definitely the better one. Not only do you get the series finale (with a vintage Ginger surprise ending) but also two strong episodes with 'Stealing First' and the character-defining 'Dare I, Darren'.
'Far From Home' has a strong start but the script loses track halfway through the movie. But you also get the series first-ever episode 'Ginger The Juvey', which gives a great introduction to the main cast.
In short: a must-have for all fans and anyone who thinks a US animated series has to be either cartoonish junk or overly sappy melodrama.

One of the best., March 7, 2008
This review is from: As Told By Ginger - The Wedding Frame / As Told By Ginger - Far From Home (DVD)
Honestly, As Told By Ginger was one of the best shows for the child-tween age-group. Even now, as a teenager, I still enjoy this show. ATBG covers many different topics, even death, and brings it down to a younger age-ranged target. I remember watching this show when I was younger, and even my mother and grandmother watched it with me, and enjoyed it. Like the other reviewer said, ATBG is pretty much unknown, and it is unfair, even with the bigger directors from the more popular cartoons on Nick. It doesn't even just target girls, with a younger brother included in the cartoon, making it fun for boys to watch, also.
I believe that this is definitely one of the best cartoons that has ever aired, and as you watch it, it's doesn't 'act' like a cartoon. No stupid blow-ups, slapstick routines, or lame, cliche stuff like that. It will be one of your best buys. You definitely would enjoy As Told By Ginger over and over again, and your whole family can watch it without rolling their eyes, or having to cover them.

90's Rocked!, December 19, 2008
This review is from: As Told By Ginger - The Wedding Frame / As Told By Ginger - Far From Home (DVD)
This is another great show that almost any 90's kid shall remember. It is no longer being aired to this day and I highly recommend it to bring back alot of nostalgia for anyone that grew up in the 90's
Makes a great gift... Hope they release Full Seasons at a later date.
It contains 2 TV movies and a couple of episodes on each disc.
