Don’t know why I haven’t written about this earlier, but I’ve been really busy exploring the world (and the box with Daddy’s beads in). Anyway, it’s high-time I told myself a few things I like, so let’s start with the easiest: TV.
I think the first program I showed Mum and Dad I liked was Bolibompa, a children’s TV show shown every weekday. It wasn’t so much the show itself as the theme music and green dragon at the beginning of the show. I could find myself dancing wildly to the beat. 10/10 for entertainment (my parents, that is).
Soon after I got into Teletubbies, which isn’t surprising because some psychology bod helped in the making of it. The pretty colours, cute baby-faced charecters (Po rocks), the tediously slow (but educationaly giving) repetion of words and actions; it had everything!
The Jungle Book by those chaps at Disney. Wow! Elephants, snakes, a bear that scratches himself on rocks and trees while he sings, monkeys that..well do monkey stuff, elephants again. Do I need say more? (The vultures were a bit boring, though.)
Madagascar by some other chaps that aren’t Disney. It’s OK, actually. Seen it a few times and, while it didn’t have me rolling off my parents’ knees with laughter, it had some nice bits in it. Penguins, for example. Oh, and a lion, a rhino, a zebra, etc. Animals rock, too.
Ice Age (or Mammoth, as I like to say if I want to see it). More animals, with a sloth that bares a striking resemblence to a cuddly toy whose company I enjoy, Rune. It’s got snow too, which is cool since I just learned about snow, having experienced winter in Stockholm. Something I can relate to.
Dora The Explorer. I’ve just recently got into this. It’s a cartoon in Swedish, which helps me learn English (like I need it). Originally it was in American English/Spanish, and I fear that if I were to watch too much of the original I would die a torturous death. You see, Daddy and Mummy think that the accent of the American/Spanish Dora grates the ears and mashes the brain with a hot screwdriver. Personally, I have no idea what they are talking about.
Those are probably the most oft-watched of the bunch of stuff I get to see. No doubt I’ll have a few updates in the future.
