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.

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
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.
Alexander Kravchenko The plot of a pre-teen girl superhero (and a cute one at that) originating from the planet Lexicon fighting crime with her super strength, Mach flight speed, and of course, her enhanced vocabulary and superior intellect. Simply incredible!As for the inspiration, it is very Superman: A being born on another planet, crash landing on Earth and adopted by a family, super strength and super speed abilities, trying to keep the hero identity secret, and suffering a weakness caused by a substance from the hero's home planet (in the case of WordGirl, Lexonite, as she is from the planet Lexicon, like Superman's weakness being kryptonite, him being from the planet Krypton).As for the villainy department, the characters that really stand out for me are: . Sophisticated evil boy genius Tobey McCallister III (in my opinion, a cartoonized offshoot of Norman Price from Fireman Sam, as they are both little boys who cause havoc and wear glasses), of whom has a slight crush on WordGirl (I don't blame him) and has a penchant for constructing giant, destructive robots.. Dr. Two-Brains (voiced by Tom Kenny of Spongebob fame), an evil cheese pillaging scientist with two brains (hence the name).. Chuck the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy, a human/sandwich hybrid that commits sandwich related crimes (hence the name).Extremely well written, plenty of action combined with comedic elements, and a brilliant theme song. What more could you ask for?In short, when it comes to superhero cartoons, WordGirl gets my vote as being the best one of them all. Watch out, villains! Here she comes!!!Word Up!
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.
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!!!
