LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
zsofikam This show is so cute that it's actually a little hard to describe. The show is about a Siamese kitten growing up in imperial China with her family and friends. In addition to Sagwa and her parents, there's also her brother and sister Dongwa and Sheegwa, their grandfather, and Sagwa's best friend Fufu (a bat). The cats are all under the care of the Foolish Magistrate, so made because of his tendency toward making rules that make absolutely no sense but still has a heart of gold. One thing that I really like is the theme song, which is where I got the title for my review. That song is quite lovely and sometimes I catch myself humming along to it. Adding to the theme song, cute characters, and cute story lines are some really great lessons and morals. Not only does it introduce Chinese language and culture but also some excellent moral lessons such as making appropriate choices, acting honourably, respecting elders, and looking after the good of a whole.
tommypezmaster This show is appalling! Who in their right mind would want to watch this? I never liked how Sagwa treated her brother as a kid and I can't imagine any kid who would! That show is nothing but a Garfield rip-off, and her brother's a wannabe Odie.First of all, if you're going to make a kids show (educational), don't make the main character a jerk. I wonder how many kids have learn nothing from watching this.Second, make a show that's easy to spell. I tried like one time putting it on the annoying laugh page on TV.Tropes & I mispelled it. I was eventually able to copy and paste it on Idea wiki.I could rant for several more paragraphs about this, but the review I copied from TV.com had stop here. I just hope everyone didn't get offended like last time.
Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) As a cat-lover, I love this show. It's so cute with beautiful colors in the backgrounds, interesting characters, and great short stories that teach valuable lessons in the historical setting of turn-of-the-century China. I do love shows and movies that are set in Asia (China, Japan and India too), like "The Last Samurai" starring Tom Cruise and set in Japan. And I also love Chinese films like "Hero" (or "Ying xiong").My favorite characters from the show are Sagwa herself, her best friend Fu-Fu the funny bat and lastly Sagwa's little sister Sheegwa she's SO cute! As for characters I hate, I hate Tai-Tai for being a social-climber and the way she has her husband wrapped around her finger; I hate hen-peckers. So anyway, that is all I have to say about this cartoon series is that I really love it.
bigben5 There's only so many ways you can tell the same old moral."Don't kill your parents", "Be yourself" &" Sharing" have all become standards cliches in kids show. It's gone up to the point where kids are becoming smarter and can predict the outcome of the show before it even ends.Likewise, I find Sagwa a bit refreshing.It helps introduce younger children to other cultures and traditions - gives them a view of the world outside the box. It also helps talk about different topics, like our relationship with nature and about showing our feelings. Not new topics, but the ones not generally discussed.The only thing I hate about this show is that the characters always laugh at the end of an episode. Apparently something ironic mimics the lessons learned and the all laugh... laugh.. laugh... I also think that this showwill never be as popular as Arthur as Amy Tan hasn't been making enough books as Marc Brown, nor does Sagwa include a greater diversity of characters than Arthur does.In short, I find this show refreshing. It's definetly a good start.
