Peppa Pig. It was this brainrotting show on Nick Jr. that involved a narrator literally saying what was happening onscreen or what happened afterwards in order to pad the time & because the showrunners thought that kids were SOOO stupid that they couldn't tell what was going on. And the theme "song" is 100% a warcrime. The spider episode can also be considered racist towards Australians since the episode portrays spiders as friendly beings when this is NOT the case in Australia... or really anywhere for that matter. There are definitely some horrifying & dangerous spiders in the USA as well. There's also Olivia & while it had no narrator & may've had more intelligence & maybe a better theme song, the pigs looked awful with their soulless thin eyes on such disjointed CGI models.
A fair bit of CGI Thomas episodes & specials I didn't really care for in comparison to the original rail model series, which were very intelligent & surprisingly deep for a supposed pre-schooler show. Even still, a fair bit of the CGI seasons weren't too shabby & are still better than Peppa Bacon over here, who just won't go away.
Also Caillou, specifically the original series. Terrible voice acting, a bad attempt at making it look like the children's book & in earlier seasons he was a stupid brat with parents who had more patience than I have. Then there's its opposite counterpart, Horrid Henry, which revolves around a neurodivergent kid whose parents are just a few inches away from physically abusing him or straight up murdering him. Johnny Test was sort of a better balance in that Johnny was still a brat, but not overly annoying. His parents weren't overly patient, but nor were they udderly abusive. Still though, that show dipped in quality after season 3 & the fart jokes I hated.
I think Johnny Test is a show that people hate on WAY too much. To me personally, just generic kids schlock, something I would have liked when I was like 7 or something.
Johnny Test is one of my favorites, ever, I am not kidding. It's aged better than what people give it credit for.

The first season on Kids WB was pretty good but once the show moved to Teletoon and it's budget got considerably reduced it became a lot more hit and miss.
The Pixar movie Soul was kinda boring. I mean, I enjoyed it, but I haven't re-watched since they first released it.
I liked soul, but I will admit it is kinda forgettable. Like most modern pixar movies, it focuses on getting emotions out of people more than telling a memorable story.

I loved Turning Red, but Onward was meh and Luca was okay (to be fair my nephew killed Luca for me because he KEPT watching it).

I enjoyed Soul but I did not care for The Good Dinosaur, easily the weakest film Pixar ever did IMO, i'm not a bit surprised it bombed in theaters as the whole story and idea of the film seemed very misguided as a whole, it looks nice at times but the plot just isn't very compelling or interesting.

I've never seen The Good Dinosaur, especially because it was so widely panned. For the longest time I wasn't that into Brave, but honestly it's really held up. I could do a whole ranking lol.

Brave is the second weakest Pixar film for me as it's one of those movies where the executive meddling behind-the-scenes is way too painfully obvious for me to ignore and it really feels like what could've been a good film got heavily compromised in the process(much like Wish did). It's a shame the films female director was basically forced off the project(thanks a lot Lasseter you creep) as the film has a number of plot holes that really distract from the story(especially surrounding the bear transformation as the way it actually gets reversed does not make sense from a story perspective)and they made the mom a bit too unlikable for me personally so I didn't exactly feel that sorry for her. Plus the film has way too many dark night-time scenes where it's legitimately difficult to make out what's going on, giving the movie a rushed feel as a whole.
I put it slightly above Good Dinosaur because if it wasn't for the executive meddling I could've seen Brave being a pretty good film whereas I can't imagine any scenario where Good Dinosaur is well good as the entire idea and premise just feels like it was misguided from the very start(I would've rather Newt had happened and GD been scrapped in it's place)cartoony 3-D animation and live-action backgrounds just don't mix very well IMO and the story simply isn't strong enough to carry the film and no amount of rewrites could fix that.

For a long time, I wasn't a Sailor Moon fan. I don't even know why I wasn't a fan... I just wasn't. Eventually I kinda got into the groove of it after having watched Akazukin ChaCha(that anime pretty much INFLUENCED me in ways no other show has ever done) &, well I have season 1 on DVD now. I'm definitely going to watch the series sometime later... probably after playing some Spyro 1 which I just got from a local store & one I test-played to see if it would run on my PS3 like the other PS1 games I have. I've also played the Sega Genesis beat-em-up Sailor Moon game which I found really good.
Funnily enough, I wasn't an Akazukin ChaCha fan at first, just knowing that the English dub from Creative Products had no full episode found(this was BEFORE we knew which studio was responsible for the dub), but I decided to watch the anime with English subs since it was up on YouTube by some users & needless to say, the rest is history.
Dreams are boundless, imaginations are infinite, space is a multi-directional spiral & Akazukin ChaCha is my favorite anime

I do agree the meddling is what prevented the film from being great. Somebody on Twitter once called it "Pixar's attempt at a Ghibli movie" and now I can't unsee that.
I was gonna rank the movies just now, but I think I'd have to watch them again.

I tried with Soul and I came to the conclusion it is among the most frustrating movies I have ever seen. Like the actual messages were SO MEANINGFUL to me and there are "moments" of the movie that I still think about them today (particularly in the aftermath of the jazz club sequence), and there is some insane beauty (and I actually liked the ending!) but the actual movie never quite came together for me.
