Lift Off (1992–1995)

"Wackadoo"

[12 April 2006]

"Lift Off" is a very unusually colourful Australian kid's show. Based in an apartment complex somewhere in Sydney, "But who can say just where it is?"(From the memorable and catchy theme song), the show mixes live action and puppetry to form a truly unique experience. As if childhood wasn't wacky enough this show really messed with your psyche. The kids (and adults) wore overly colourful and frilly outfits and even had their own lingo. There were bizarre creatures lurking in every corner, such as a plant with one eyeball and a camera wielding frilled-neck lizard. There was a crazy puppet café from another dimension equipped with outlandish characters and much, much more. I'm not sure if this show was educational or not, there were clichéd lessons filtered into the mad story lines, but that didn't matter because I had such a ball watching it.

Ship to Shore (1993–1994)

Great Show

[10/10 · 8 January 2004]

Circe Island is a unique treasured piece of Australia(I think it's off the coast of Perth). Full of adventure and fun all over. The show is about the islands occupants, a gang of kids who get into all sorts of mischief to compensate for their boring lives on Circe Island. This was the best show to grow up watching. Being very adventurous as I was this was the show for me. The island had everything and I was very envious of the kids to have such a beautiful island to live on(even though they didn't appreciate it that much).

The Adventures of Tintin (1991–1992)

Hergé is a genius

[11 January 2003]

I have loved the Tintin comic book series since a very young age and I still collect the books to this day, so naturally a loved this cartoon. But I was too young to really remember it. Anyway, the Tintin saga it truly an adventure to remember. The history is enough to see that this childrens cartoon is alot more, for anyone of any age. I'm just hoping the movie rumours are true, I'm sure it will be a worldwide phenomenon.

The Matrix (1999)

Fantastic

[10/10 · 31 August 2002]

I have so many favourites, but 'Matrix' has to top them all. They made it very clear of this computer world and the reality that it could exist, really made me think. The movie also set the standards of future computer graphics. Can't wait for the sequel. Don't let me down.
