Waste Of CGI Technology

Take some expensive high-tech computer graphics rendering software, invest loads of time and money, and turn out an absolutely terrible cartoon. I'm not so old that I wouldn't know if I would watch a certain program if I was a kid today, and I know that I would pass on this one for sure. The characters are forgettable, and the politically correctness factor is off the scale. Even the opening and closing theme songs are overlong and musically and lyrically annoying. I really really hate to give bad reviews like this, and I have given the show more than a few chances to win me over, but sorry, no sale. Mail me the rendering machine and I'll give you something better on a bad day. A big computer generated lemon.
