Editorial Reviews

"Braces are so everywhere," but that doesn't ease the tinsel-teeth trauma for 14-year-old Sharon Spitz, leading character of Braceface, the award-winning, animated comedy featuring the voice of Alicia Silverstone (Clueless). This Canadian import provides a fresh and witty perspective on the perils of adolescence, with clever writing that steers clear of clichés and condescension. The trio of episodes in this 75-minute program begins with Sharon's story of her visit to the orthodontist ("Brace Yourself") and how a mouthful of metal begins a series of mysterious and embarrassing blunders that wreak havoc on high school life, and especially her chances with Alden. The second episode explores Sharon's confusion over a newfound romantic interest in her endearing childhood friend, Connor. Finally, Sharon's secret peek into Maria's diary results in some necessary soul-searching. The messages are perfectly suited to preteens and young teens: though growing up is complicated, family and friends go a long way toward mending mishaps. (Ages 7 to 14) --Lynn Gibson

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Cartoons Today, November 12, 2004

This review is from: Braceface, Vol. 1: Brace Yourself (DVD)

Braceface is one of the better cartoons around. In a day and age of non-stop action cartoons and children's wacky cartoons, Braceface offers a refreshing real-life plot with real life situations and problems. It offers the viewers life-lessons without being corny or over-educational. It really does a great job of portraying the awkwardness of teenage life without being a dark, "life is terrible" attitude. Truely one of the greater cartoons in existance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Show!, June 27, 2005

By 

Kim Possible "<3" (Canadian) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Braceface, Vol. 1: Brace Yourself (DVD)

Whoever wrote the review giving the show one star is so very very wrong. THIS IS NOT A LITTLE KIDS SHOW OKAY? I mean it deals with teenage things. By now you should know the little kids shows come on in the morning not around 4:30 or whatever.
And um, how would you feel if all your friends had had boyfriends and been kissed before you? This show has not done anything at all to my brain. I can type, write and everything everyone can do. Okay this is a great show for early teens and late teens. Anyone younger shouldn't watch it. Oh, I watch shows and movies with swearing, and guess what? I don't swear.
I think anyone who loves Kim Possible, That's So Raven would love this show.
Case closed
