Synopsis

WordGirl is an American children’s animated television series for children aged 9 –12, produced by the Soup2Nuts animation unit of Scholastic Entertainment for PBS Kids. The show began as a series of shorts that premiered on PBS Kids Go! on November 10, 2006, usually shown at the end of Maya & Miguel; the segment was then spun off into a new thirty-minute episodic series that premiered on September 3, 2007 on most Public Broadcasting Service member stations. This animated show is aimed at children six to twelve years old, but viewers older than this demographic have been reported as well. It is designed to teach about the expansive English language and its vocabulary. All four seasons each have twenty-six episodes. The show is also seen on some educational networks in Canada, including Knowledge in British Columbia and TVOntario, as well as Discovery Kids in Latin America. The program is also syndicated internationally in places such as Australia and Italy. The Spanish version is called "Chica Supersabia" and it is translated and dubbed in Caracas, Venezuela, and the Brazilian version is called "Garota Supersábia". There is a Catalan version called "La Súper Mots" and a Portuguese version called "Super Sabina". The show has received six Daytime Emmy nominations, winning three for "Outstanding Writing in Animation" in 2008, 2012, and 2013.

UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
invisibleunicornninja This is probably one of the cleverest children's shows that I have ever watched (so far). All the characters are interesting, and the jokes always land. The plots are silly, but they work. My only complaint is the thing where they have to teach children words, but even that is funny most of the time. This show takes superhero tropes and just runs with them in the funniest ways possible. Though the same group of villains show up time and time again, they always manage to be funny and original. I would highly recommend watching this show.
joshvonhousen Well, as a rather harsh critic of shows like Full House and that piece of crap The Big Bang Theory, I can say that I had no expectation of this show being any good.But, through clever writing and enjoyable characters, this show actually SURPRISED me! In one episode, two of the villains fall in love and whenever they see each other, we hear the cheesy music that we're used to hearing in rom-coms and all that. But, then, it's revealed to be a character with a faulty boombox that keeps turning on at random moments. Lady Redundant Woman? Even her name is clever!Look, I'm not saying that it's Breaking Bad status, but if you have a child, you can turn this on and find yourself entertained, too.
murray_mg I love any children's show that has a good point but doesn't get preachy. WordGirl is really funny on so many levels, not only teaching vocabulary but also satire, hyperbole, and irony. The silliness is on par with the best old school VeggieTales. The supervillains are hysterical, with equally great villain names, like "Chuck the Evil Sandwich Making Guy" and "Lady Redundant Woman". My son has learned several good vocabulary lessons above his grade level just by watching this treat, and I love watching it with him just because it's so funny. If the "grown-ups" that run Hollywood paid attention to PBS Kids, a lot of primetime comedy shows would be much more intelligent and entertaining
Billy Joel **THIS SUMMARY CONTAINS SPOILERS**When I came across this show, I was completely WOWED. It is wonderful material, nothing that was made up in a few minutes to keep the kids busy.Becky Botsford (or is it Boxford?) is the smart, somewhat cute Word Girl. Her sidekick, Captian HuggyFace helps her fight crime and throw around some impressive vocabulary.The thing I love about cartoons is that they DON'T HAVE TO MAKE SENSE, and WordGirl does just that. A man with a mouse brain. A girl mixed with a copier. An old lady that steals. All these things would certainly keep me busy for 30 minutes.The script is smart and well-written, with jokes aimed at the adults and the kids (like Spongebob). I found myself laughing the first time and now every weekday at 5:00 I find myself on the couch watching this great show.My favorite character would have to be the handsome Dr. Two-Brains, I think that his episodes are the funniest. He is the man who has two brains, that of a mouse and a human. Who could think of that?I absolutely love WordGirl, and if you are looking for a show that will make your kids laugh and teach them great words to use, then turn to WordGirl.I hope they make a movie!!!
