This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I used to love watching mind-numbing cartoons when I was a kid. Now, at the ripe old age of 25 I thought I had grown up a bit...apparently not. Studying medicine is draining and I needed something in the evening to relax to, so I decided to re-watch a number of cartoons from my youth. I found all the episodes for Ozzy and Drix and was so full of nostalgia that I could not resist myself.Ozzy and Drix takes place in the city of Hector, a teenage human being who literally sets the stage for this show. Ozzy (aka Osmosis Jones) is a white blood cell with an attitude like Will Smith in Bad Boys, whilst Drix (aka Drixenol) is a multi-faceted pill who is also somewhat nerdy. This pair are part of a policing unit in the city of Hector, who are committed to fight invading pathogens. Both have their individual charm and comedic value, which makes their pairing a great one. Despite wanting to watch this show for its ability to let me go on autopilot at the end of a long day, quite the opposite occurred. The episodes themselves are are incredibly clever as they use medical language (in a very basic sense) to form the basis of each storyline. For example, representing the spleen as a literal vacuum destroyer of pathogens was a stroke of genius to enable children to understand its function. Other clever aspects would have flew over my head as a kid, but they do make me chuckle now that I am studying medicine. Having a dog allergen being called 'dander' being one such case.In a world full of cartoons that rely on stupidity to be 'funny', Ozzy and Drix do not and I really respect that. Aside from comedy, some episodes have a truly strong message. "Where's the smoke" is a prime example of this, whereby the basic concept of smoking and its consequences is explained brilliantly. It is these qualities that sets this show apart from most cartoons. However, by the same token, it may have been its downfall. It was too clever for its own good and kids quite simply did not get it. In a sea of cartoons where comedy that relies on stupidity, current trends and violence reign supreme, Ozzy and Drix could not complete. All in all, Ozzy and Drix was a great show (let alone a cartoon). It's a shame it did not continue , because I truly believe this cartoon would have entertained children as well as benefited their minds.

This show was 10 times more better than the movie, this show was actually a success unlike the movie. The movie was so unsuccessful that Ozzy & Drix was created to make the series look more better, and they succeeded. I don't understand why the movie was unsuccessful but yet it went to DVD and VHS but the show did not and it was totally more better than the movie. I think this show should be brought out of Warner Bros storage and onto Warner Bros DVD, this show deserves to be put on DVD after the successful rating it was given. I want to make this happen, there is a website where you can vote for your favorite TV show to be on DVD, and in case you guys are interested you can sign up on that website and vote for Ozzy & Drix to be on DVD.

In the beginning, there was Freakazoid on the WB Saturday Moring lineup. Then it got cancelled. Then there was Animaniacs. Then it got cancelled. Then there was Pinky and the Brain. And it got cancelled. Then came the last gasp of intelligent TV for WB kids, and it was called 'Ozzie and Drix'.Like Freakazoid, Animaniacs, and Pinky and the Brain before it, it was a funny and witty show that didn't strike a chord with America's idiot children. It was stocked with educational and funny moments too smart for kids. Just one example: They're on the highway on a car chase, and one of the billboards says 'Peace in the middle ear'.It was a solid show, taught the kids to stay away from drugs,a nd gave a solid hoot without going out of its way. I'd kill to have this show back.

The new Kids WB show, Ozzie + Drix, is just like the movie Osmosis Jones which this show is based on. In the beginning, the title stars are inside Frank (Bill Murray's character from the film) but are transported to the body of a thirteen year old named Hector via a mosquito. In this new body, the duo now protects it just they did for Frank. Ozzie + Drix has very similar animation and voices from the movie. All I know is that I now watch Saturday Morning cartoons again.
