I've wanted this series for a long time, based mostly on memories and nostalgia, especially from the Tim Matheson on Mushrooms scene in the otherwise horrible Brady movie sequel. The animation is cheap and there's a magic bird and two pandas that aren't needed.
I understand the whole premise was to have the kids go on adventures that couldn't be filmed in real life, but if you get too weird, there's nothing to relate to, or a story to relate with or be entertained by.
And while not being a bad trip, it's mostly just a lousy one. Big let-down. Nice to hear the real voices though. Makes you wish they had more input instead of Larry Storch's lame voice-overs for all those silly imposing fantastical creatures that never feel like characters, but more like, intrusions.
