Some series can just captivate you. They draw you in and keep you glued to the screen. That's when it has a good story, great acting, but most of all it is about getting to like the main characters. I have no clue what the writers of this series had in mind. Clever thefts can be exciting. You admire the way the evil-doers do a smart job in planning and executing the crime, Outsmart everybody, get away with a lot of money and feel relieved if they made it. These characters were all very unsympathetic robots and yeah robots don't have any emotion. We're dealing with psychopaths here. The storyline wasn't so great. The acting was poor. Is it any wonder that only 7 episodes made it on TV? One Big Turkey.

Kiwi!
(2006)
the perfect short
8 June 2008
just awesome!! It's been a while since I've encountered something a marvellous animation-short, that tells such a great story in just a couple of minutes. It has all the elements which made this sweet little KIWI touched so many people: Humor and drama and everything in between. I started off screaming from laughter by the way he (she?) moved and its persistence in the undertaking of this enormous task (!), but was also choked by the drama which evolved, and the inescapable ending that was (wisely enough not graphically exploited), the distant sound of KIWI hitting the ground was chilling and heartbreaking and truly had an impact. But hey... I'm one who have always cried and laughed at animation movies since way back in 1953, when I was 3. And still I enjoy this art after 55 years and will, till the day I die probably.
Let's hope the talent of this guy will be recognized and that he will be given the chance to make more movies that really tell a story and move people all over the world. He deserves this BIG TIME.
I only saw this movie for the 1st time a couple of days back (June 06, 2008) and it had by then been viewed over 17.5 million times at Youtube. That's a lot of THUMBS UP and one heck of a standing ovation!
